This page is for Brentwood homeowners with an Olympia Chimney fireplace, insert, or stove who want the flue cleaned right and want to know what they’re paying for. No middlemen, no bait-and-switch pricing. Just a sweep who’s been on these roofs since 1999.

How Olympia Chimney Products Fail - and How We Fix Them

• Olympia Ventis series - glazed creosote buildup in the elbow joints. The Ventis double-wall connector pipe has tight elbow runs where smoke slows down and creosote condenses. In Brentwood, where winter burns are long and hot, we see first-degree creosote turn to second-degree glaze at those elbows faster than on straight runs. Our fix is a powered rotary whip through the full connector before the brush stage, breaking the glaze so the standard sweep actually does its job.
• Olympia 6-inch stainless liners - soot packing at the bottom tee. Homes near Brentwood State Park with older stoves report the same thing: the liner looks fine from the top, but the tee at the base has packed soot cutting draft by half. We pull the cleanout cap and camera-check the tee on every Olympia liner sweep. Takes five extra minutes, catches the problem before your stove starts smoking back into the room.
• Olympia fireplace dampers - surface rust and sticking plates. Salt air off the South Shore pushes moisture down uncapped Olympia flues. The damper plate rusts, then the handle binds, and Brentwood owners either force it or stop using the fireplace. We drop the damper, wire-brush the plate, and apply a dry graphite film. If it’s warped, we say so and give you a replacement number that matches the Olympia specs rather than a universal plate that rattles for years.
• Olympia chimney caps - missing spark arrestor mesh. The factory mesh on older Olympia caps corrodes at the welds, usually on the side facing the prevailing wind. Squirrels find the gap in October. We stock stainless mesh sections that fit the standard Olympia cap frames, so you’re not buying a whole new cap for a six-inch tear.
• Olympia firebox panels - hairline cracking from thermal stress. This isn’t unique to Olympia, but its refractory panels are thinner than some competitors, and Brentwood’s freeze-thaw cycles don’t help anything on an exterior wall. Hairline cracks that haven’t shifted are cosmetic. Cracks wider than a dime with visible shifting mean the panel is compromised and needs replacement before your next fire. We’ll show you the camera footage either way.

Our Olympia Chimney Chimney Cleaning & Sweep Process

When you call us for an Olympia chimney sweep in Brentwood, here’s exactly what happens:

1. 1
   You get a live person on the phone. Wendell answers around the clock. We ask about your setup, your last sweep, and anything odd you’ve noticed. We give you a firm price before anyone gets in a truck.
2. 2
   We lay down drop cloths, stage the vacuum, and do a quick visual check. Before we put a brush anywhere, we look at the cap, the crown, and the firebox. On an Olympia, that means checking the damper plate and the bottom of the connector run.
3. 3
   We camera-check the flue. If the liner’s clean enough that a sweep would just stir up dust, we’ll tell you. No invented problems, no camera theatrics. Just a plain-English verdict.
4. 4
   We sweep with equipment sized to your system. For Olympia round flues, we use properly fitted poly brushes on rod or rotary where the glaze calls for it. First-degree creosote is a brush job. Third-degree is a glaze - we catch it in the camera step and adjust before we start scrubbing.
5. 5
   We clean the firebox, the damper, and the glass. Hearth cleaner than we found it, every time. That’s a Wendell thing and the crew knows it.
6. 6
   We walk you through the report. Camera photos or footage, what we cleaned, what we’d watch, and what - if anything - can safely wait. The 90-Day Done Right Promise goes on the invoice in writing.

What Olympia Chimney Chimney Cleaning & Sweep Costs in Brentwood

Here’s what Brentwood homeowners can expect to pay for Olympia chimney work with us:

• Standard sweep (fireplace or insert): $189-$269, depending on flue height and creosote stage.
• Sweep with camera inspection: Add $95-$150. We include camera with any Level 2 inspection.
• Glazed creosote removal (rotary whip): $150-$250 on top of the standard sweep.
• Damper rust treatment and cleaning: $60-$120 during the sweep.
• Spark arrestor mesh replacement: $85-$175 installed, depending on cap size.

What moves the price: creosote stage, roof pitch and access, and whether the connector pipe needs pulling. What doesn’t move it: anything a phone rep promises then forgets. The number we quote before the job is the number on the invoice. And if it’s over $200 in repairs, we take $40 off. Call (934) 935-3847 and we’ll tell you the straight price before anyone climbs a ladder.
