Olympia Chimney Chimney Liner & Rebuild Nationwide

Olympia Chimney Chimney Liner & Rebuild in Long Island: What to Know First

We replace and rebuild Olympia Chimney liners across Long Island, and a typical stainless steel liner job runs $1,800 to $3,400 depending on flue height, roof access, and whether the old liner comes out clean or fights back. Most Olympia Chimney liner replacements are done in a single day. You’ll get an exact number before we start, and if the liner only needs a repair rather than a full replacement, Wendell Pike will tell you that first. This page is for Long Island homeowners with an Olympia Chimney product who want the straight story on what fails, what it costs, and what actually needs doing.

How Olympia Chimney Products Fail - and How We Fix Them

• Flexible liner seam separation on the Olympia Chimney Ventinox line. We see this most on Long Island’s North Shore, where salt air and wind-driven rain work on the corrugated seams. The liner develops small separations where the corrugation pitch changes near the cap. You won’t see it from the firebox. The camera will. Fix is a full liner replacement with a thicker gauge, usually 316L stainless, and a properly sealed top plate.
• Rigid oval liner ovalization in the Olympia Chimney Proline series. Older Proline rigid liners on Long Island ranches and colonials were sometimes installed tight to the flue wall. After a decade of thermal cycling, they deform slightly oval in the middle third. That narrows the flue cross-section enough to slow draft and push creosote deposits. We replace with a flex liner sized to the actual flue ID, not the nominal one.
• Top plate and storm collar corrosion wherever salt is in the air. Olympia Chimney’s galvanized top plates hold up fine inland, but five or ten miles from the Sound we see rust through at the seams. It’s a slow fix: new stainless top plate, properly bedded, with a storm collar that actually sheds water instead of trapping it.
• Cast-in-place weak joints on Olympia Chimney masonry liners paired with older clay flues. This one’s a Long Island classic: an Olympia Chimney cast liner poured in the 1990s over a deteriorating clay flue. The clay keeps spalling behind the cast material, and the cast cracks along the bond lines. The correct fix is a full rebuild of the flue with a stainless liner, not another resurfacing.
• Improperly terminated telescoping liners at the cap. If the liner was cut short or the cap doesn’t seat right, water runs down the outside of the liner between the chase or masonry. We rebuild the termination, recut the liner to the right height, and bed the cap on continuous sealant.

Our Olympia Chimney Chimney Liner & Rebuild Process

1. 1
   You call, a person answers. That’s us. We ask what you’re seeing: smoke in the house, draft problems, water stains, or a sweep from another company flagged the liner.
2. 2
   We run a camera up the flue. On every single Olympia Chimney job, no exceptions. You watch the footage with us. You get a plain-English verdict: repair, replace, or leave it alone.
3. 3
   We decide on parts. For liners, we prefer OEM Olympia Chimney parts where they’re available and correct for the job. When an OEM part won’t outlast a good aftermarket piece, we say so and show you why.
4. 4
   The work gets done in a day. Liner out, new liner in, connected top and bottom, terminated correctly. If the flue walls are crumbling, we do a partial or full rebuild before the liner goes in.
5. 5
   We test draft and run the camera again. You see the finished liner before we leave, not after we’re gone.
6. 6
   You get the 90-Day Done Right Promise in writing. If it’s not right, one call brings Wendell and the crew back at no charge.

What Olympia Chimney Chimney Liner & Rebuild Costs in Long Island

Straight numbers, the way we give them on the phone:

• Flexible stainless liner replacement: $1,800-$2,900 for a typical one-story Long Island ranch flue. Taller two-story colonials run higher.
• Rigid liner replacement (replacing an ovalized or damaged rigid liner): $2,100-$3,400.
• Liner repair (small section patch, seam fix, or top plate only): $350-$900 when the liner itself is sound.
• Partial chimney rebuild above the roofline: $1,500-$3,500 depending on access and brick condition.
• Full chimney rebuild with new liner: $5,000-$9,000, sometimes more on an old North Shore colonial with a fat flue and steep roof.

What moves the price is flue height, roof pitch, how much of the old structure has to come out, and whether the existing liner cooperates. You get a fixed number before we start. Call (516) 968-5380 and we’ll come look.
