How Olympia Chimney Products Fail – and How We Fix Them
Olympia Chimney builds solid equipment, but Fort Lauderdale’s salt air and wet-dry cycles put every chimney component under stress. Here’s what we actually see on Olympia Chimney jobs in this city, and what we do about it.
- Refractory panel cracking in Olympia zero-clearance fireplaces. The Olympia Ventis and Olympia Marquee series both use refractory panels that mimic brick inside the firebox. After years of heat cycling and humidity swings, hairline cracks show up. If the crack is superficial, we can patch and seal it. If the panel has shifted or the crack runs through, we replace the panel. This is the single most common Olympia Chimney repair we do in Fort Lauderdale.
- Top-sealing damper seizure from salt air. Olympia Chimney top-mount dampers have a cast aluminum frame and a stainless cable. Fort Lauderdale’s coastal air corrodes the pivot hardware faster than you’d expect. We disassemble, clean, and lubricate where possible, and replace the damper assembly when the frame is pitted beyond smooth operation.
- Firebox grate and log support failure on Olympia gas log sets. The Olympia gas log lines, especially the Olympia Ember series, use steel grate systems that rust through over time. We replace grates with OEM Olympia parts when available, or a properly sized aftermarket equivalent that matches the burner design.
- Chimney chase rust-through on Olympia Chase covers. Olympia Chimney chase covers are galvanized steel. In Fort Lauderdale, they rust along the edges where water pools. We fabricate or order replacement covers in stainless steel whenever a chase cover has perforated, because patching a rusted chase cover buys a year at best.
- Mortar joint erosion on Olympia masonry fireplace surrounds. Olympia Chimney’s masonry fireplace offerings use standard brick and mortar construction. Fort Lauderdale rain, especially during summer downpours, erodes lime mortar. We repoint joints with a mortar matched to the existing mix, then waterproof the exterior with a breathable sealant.

Our Olympia Chimney Chimney Repair Process
Here’s how a repair call goes at Flint Chimney Co Fort Lauderdale, start to finish. No wasted trips, no pricing surprises.
- 1
You call. A live person answers. We ask about the symptoms, the Olympia Chimney model if you know it, and schedule a window that works.
- 2
Diagnostic visit. We inspect the fireplace, flue, damper, and chase. We document everything with photos. If it’s a gas unit, we check the burner, valve, and gas connections.
- 3
Written repair plan. Before any tool comes off the truck, you get a written price and scope. We walk you through what we found, what needs fixing now, and what can wait.
- 4
The repair. We use OEM Olympia Chimney parts where compatibility matters, and quality aftermarket parts where they’re equivalent. Every job uses the right material for the job, not the highest margin.
- 5
Test and verify. We fire the unit or run a draft test (depending on fuel type), confirm the repair holds, and show you the result.
- 6
Written guarantee. The 365-Day Done Right Promise goes on the invoice. If the covered repair fails within a year, we return at no charge.

Hank Delano came up through the trade at Los Angeles Trade-Technical College and has spent most of two decades cleaning and inspecting chimneys across South Florida. He’s worked on everything from bungalows near Las Olas Boulevard to high-rise condo fireplaces further up the coast. His rule is simple: tell them what you found, tell them what it costs, then do the work clean.
That rule is why our written guarantee exists. The 365-Day Done Right Promise says if a covered repair fails within a year, we come back and fix it at no charge. No arguing, no “that’s not covered.” Every Olympia Chimney job gets a written price before work begins, background-checked uniformed technicians on site, and professional-grade materials.

FAQs
Yes, most Olympia Chimney parts for models from the last 15 to 20 years are still available through our supply network. For discontinued parts like specific refractory panel sizes, we source quality aftermarket equivalents that meet the same fitment specs. We’ll tell you which parts are OEM and which are aftermarket before we order anything.
As an independent service provider, we’re not an Olympia Chimney warranty shop. Work we perform on your fireplace won’t automatically void a manufacturer warranty, but if your unit is under warranty, we recommend contacting Olympia Chimney directly about warranty coverage before using a third-party repair service. Our written quote is documented so you can share it with the manufacturer if needed.
Most basic Olympia Chimney repairs like panel patches, damper replacements, and grate swaps are done in a single visit. If we need to order a part that isn’t in stock, the repair typically takes 3 to 7 business days. We’ll give you a clear timeline during the diagnostic visit. Call (754) 354-1430 to get a prompt appointment.
If the firebox is cracked, the chase cover is rusted through, or multiple components have failed, replacement may be cheaper than repeated repairs. If it’s one failed part and the rest of the unit is solid, repair makes sense. We’ll give you a straight answer with photos and a written price, so you can decide on facts rather than hope.
