Nathan Corliss and our crew at Ashby Chimney Miami have worked on Olympia Chimney products across South Florida for years. As an independent Olympia Chimney service provider, we’re not affiliated with the manufacturer, which means our only interest is telling you what your flue actually needs. Call (850) 787-8597 and you’ll reach a live person, not a voicemail loop.

How Olympia Chimney Products Fail – and How We Fix Them

Olympia Chimney makes solid equipment, but no brand escapes the physics of fire, salt air, and humidity. Here’s what we actually see on Olympia Chimney systems in Miami homes:

• Glazed creosote on Olympia stainless rigid liners. The smooth interior wall of an Olympia stainless liner moves smoke efficiently, but when wood burns cool (common with Miami’s damp firewood), it deposits a hard, shiny glaze that a standard brush won’t pull off. We use mechanical rotary whip heads sized to the liner’s internal diameter, not generic brushes, to break the glaze without scoring the stainless.
• Rain cap and spark arrestor corrosion at the termination. Olympia chimney caps are well built, but Miami’s salt-laden air works on any exposed metal. We regularly pull caps covered in rust scale and salt film. A corroded cap restricts draft and lets rain into the flue, which turns creosote acidic. We clean, treat, or replace the cap with Olympia-compatible stainless fittings rather than whatever universal part happens to be in the truck.
• Uncapped or under-capped masonry chimneys with Olympia clay tile liners. In older Miami neighborhoods, we see Olympia clay tile liners paired with chimneys that lost their caps years ago. Rainwater plus creosote creates a corrosive slurry that eats mortar joints between tiles. During a sweep we inspect those joints from the top and flag any spalling before it becomes a liner replacement.
• Draft problems from double-flue installations. Some Olympia Chimney systems in Miami serve both a fireplace and a furnace or water heater. If one flue isn’t used regularly, it cools and creates a negative pressure zone that pulls smoke from the active flue back into the house. A sweep that includes a draft check identifies this fast, and the fix is often simpler than homeowners fear.
• Animal intrusion through compromised chase tops. Miami’s raccoons and squirrels find their way into open or damaged chase tops on prefab Olympia systems. We’ve pulled nests made of palm fiber, plastic bags, and once a shredded beach towel out of a chase. After removal, we sweep, then seal the entry point properly so it doesn’t happen again next spring.

Our Olympia Chimney Chimney Sweep Process

Every Olympia Chimney job we do in Miami follows the same sequence, whether it’s an annual sweep or a first-time cleaning on a home you just bought. Here’s the Kingswell Way, step by step:

1. 1
   Written price before anything else. You tell us what you’re seeing or smelling. We give you a written price for the sweep before we unload a single tool. The number on the invoice matches that number.
2. 2
   Drop cloths and floor protection. We lay protection from the front door to the hearth. When we’re done, you won’t find soot footprints in your hallway.
3. 3
   Top-down inspection. We get on the roof and look at the cap, crown, and flue opening. On Olympia systems, we’re checking for rust on the cap assembly, missing fasteners, and any gap between the liner and the chase top.
4. 4
   The sweep itself. We size our brushes to your specific Olympia flue dimensions, not whatever’s closest in the van. Creosote comes out, gets bagged, and gets carried out of your house.
5. 5
   Bottom-up review with camera. After the sweep, we run a camera up the flue. You see the after photo right there on our screen. If something needs attention, we show you the image and explain what you’re looking at. No repair gets recommended without visual evidence you’ve seen with your own eyes.
6. 6
   Written guarantee on completion. We leave you a written report and our guarantee. If we miss something on the sweep that causes a problem inside the guarantee period, we return and fix it at no charge.

What Olympia Chimney Chimney Sweep Costs in Miami

Most Olympia Chimney sweeps in Miami fall between $189 and $289. That covers the full sweep, a Level 1 inspection, and our written report. If we need to remove a heavy creosote glaze, add camera work for a real estate transaction, or remove an animal nest, the price moves, and you’ll know the number before we start, not after.

Things that shift the cost: roof pitch and access (some Miami roofs are genuinely unpleasant to walk), how long it’s been since the last sweep, whether you have a single or double flue to clean, and whether glazed creosote requires rotary treatment. A standard annual sweep on a well-maintained Olympia fireplace system usually lands right in that middle range.

Call (850) 787-8597 for a written estimate. It’s free, and the number you get is the number you’ll pay.
