This page is for Marietta homeowners who own Olympia Chimney products and want to know what’s wrong, what it costs to fix, and whether the repair will hold. We’re an independent Olympia Chimney service provider, not a factory warranty station. That matters because we’re free to tell you the truth about what needs fixing and what can wait.

How Olympia Chimney Products Fail – and How We Fix Them

Olympia Chimney builds solid products, but everything wears. Here’s what we actually see in Marietta homes, and what we do about it.

• Olympia Wood-burning Fireplace Series – warped dampers. The cast-iron damper plate on older Olympia wood-burning units warps from repeated heat cycling. You’ll notice a smoky smell when the fire dies down, or a draft that never quits. We straighten when possible, but most Marietta homes with original Olympia dampers end up getting a top-sealing replacement. It’s a cleaner seal and stops the draft entirely.
• Olympia Gas Insert Series – pilot light that won’t stay lit. If the pilot holds for a few seconds and drops, it’s almost always the thermocouple or thermopile, not the gas valve. On Olympia gas inserts we see this all the time in Marietta, especially after a summer of disuse. The thermocouple tip gets a thin oxide film from Marietta’s humidity. We clean or replace the thermocouple, test millivolt output with the spec sheet in hand, and the pilot stays lit.
• Olympia Zero-Clearance Fireplace – refractory panel cracks. The firebrick-style panels inside Olympia zero-clearance units crack from thermal shock, particularly when someone fires it hard the first cold morning of the season. Hairline cracks are cosmetic. Cracks wider than a nickel expose the metal firebox behind the panel, and that’s a repair priority. We source OEM-spec refractory panels and replace only the damaged ones, not the whole set unless we have to.
• Olympia Insert Blower Motor – grinding or quit entirely. The blower on a gas or wood insert runs hot and collects dust. Once the bearings wear, you’ll hear a low grind before it dies. Olympia blower assemblies are still available for most models we service in Marietta. We replace the whole motor and fan assembly rather than trying to rebuild bearings. It costs a little more up front and fails far less often.
• Olympia Chimney Pipe – staining and delamination at the roof line. This is the one most Olympia owners don’t notice until it’s bad. Marietta gets hard rain, and the stainless outer wall can delaminate at the flashing because the pipe was installed too tight to the roof penetration. The inner liner stays intact, but water creeps into the chase. We correct the flashing, inspect the entire pipe run, and only replace pipe sections that show actual separation. We don’t sell pipe you don’t need.

Our Olympia Chimney Fireplace Repair Process

1. 1
   You call, a person answers. We ask what the fireplace is doing, which Olympia model you have if you know it, and when you first noticed the problem. No forms, no voicemail tree.
2. 2
   We arrive in the window we gave you. Uniformed, background-checked technician. We lay a drop cloth before the tool bag opens.
3. 3
   We diagnose with the appliance in front of us. We test gas pressure, check the pilot assembly, throw a camera up the flue if we need the full picture, and show you photos on our phone before we recommend anything.
4. 4
   You get a written price. Parts and labor, one number. If we find something mid-repair that changes the job, we stop and show you before doing work you didn’t approve.
5. 5
   We repair, test, and photograph. The fireplace gets lit, cycled, and verified before we pack up. Ash and debris get vacuumed. You get the before and after photos.
6. 6
   Everything we touch gets a written guarantee. If a covered repair fails inside the guarantee period, we come back and fix it at no charge. That’s our 365-Day Done Right Promise, and it’s written on every invoice.
