Level 1 sweep and inspection to the NFPA 211 annual standard - flue, crown, cap, and flashing checked and photographed
Chimney sweep logs do not sweep chimneys. They loosen some creosote - which then falls where a brush and vacuum still have to collect it.
Olympia Chimney Chimney Cleaning & Sweep in Frisco: What to Know First
We provide independent Olympia Chimney chimney cleaning and sweep services in Frisco, typically scheduling within a few days of your call and completing most jobs in a single visit. Every Olympia Chimney system we touch gets an NFPA 211 Level 2 camera inspection, a written price before any work starts, and a documented photo record under Haven Standard Clause 4. We’re not affiliated with or authorized by Olympia Chimney; we work on their products as an independent service provider with no brand loyalty beyond what holds up in your flue.
This page is for Frisco homeowners who installed an Olympia Chimney liner, cap, or component between 2015 and 2025 and need cleaning, inspection, or troubleshooting. Whether you’re in Starwood with a larger hearth setup or a newer build near The Trails, the inspection standard stays the same. Call (940) 290-7230 to book or get your written estimate.
How Olympia Chimney Products Fail - and How We Fix Them
- Olympia Chimney ProFlex liner sections pulling apart at the collar joints. The ProFlex 316Ti flexible liner uses a proprietary interlocking collar design that can loosen after repeated thermal cycling in Frisco’s freeze-thaw winters, especially when the chimney runs cold between occasional fireplace use. We find gaps at the collars during camera inspection, mark the exact footage, and re-seat with factory-compatible compression bands or replace the section if the collar is warped. We source replacement ProFlex through Haven’s buying network to keep pricing honest.
- Olympia Chimney Gelco-style caps clogging with creosote in the mesh. The Gelco cap series distributed through Olympia’s channel uses a finer stainless mesh than some competitors, which traps more particulate but requires more frequent cleaning in Frisco’s hard-water mineral environment where combustion byproducts crystallize faster. We remove the cap, ultrasonic-clean or replace the mesh depending on corrosion stage, and document the before/after under Clause 4.
- Smoke chamber parging failure in Olympia-lined systems with oversized fireboxes. Olympia’s liner sizing charts sometimes get interpreted loosely by installers, leaving a smoke chamber that’s too large for the liner diameter to vent properly. The result is stalled draft and accelerated creosote buildup on the chamber walls. We measure the chamber against the liner cross-section, re-parge with HeatShield Cerfractory Foam when indicated, and verify with a draft gauge before we leave.
- Olympia Chimney rigid liner sections cracking at the thimble connection. The rigid 304 and 316Ti lines don’t flex with chimney settlement, and Frisco’s expansive clay soils shift more than owners expect. We camera the full rigid run, identify stress fractures at the thimble or tee, and replace with DuraFlex or a properly supported Olympia-compatible section depending on what’s actually in stock and what your warranty situation allows.
- Class III glazed creosote in Olympia systems burning seasoned hardwood at low air settings. Olympia’s marketing emphasizes efficiency, which Frisco owners interpret as “damp it down and let it smolder.” Class III creosote is a hard, tar-like deposit that standard brushing won’t touch. We apply ACS Anti-Creo-Soot or mechanical rotary cleaning with a Whip-Head system, verify removal with the camera, and note the burn practice in your written record so you have documentation for your insurer.
Our Olympia Chimney Chimney Cleaning & Sweep Process

- 1
Call and schedule. A live person answers, checks availability in Frisco or nearby, and notes your Olympia Chimney model if you know it. We don’t quote over the phone; we quote after we look.
- 2
NFPA 211 Level 2 inspection on arrival. Corrine or a named, background-checked technician runs the camera down the full flue, inspects the smoke chamber, firebox, and exterior, and records everything. The camera doesn’t guess. Neither do we.
- 3
Written findings and price. You get the photo record, a written scope, and a written price before any work starts. Haven Standard Clause 1: have it in writing. No exceptions.
- 4
Cleaning and repair with documented parts. We use OEM Olympia Chimney components when they’re the right choice, quality aftermarket from DuraFlex, HeatShield, or Gelco when they’re equivalent or faster to source, and we note the origin on your invoice.
- 5
Post-work camera verification and draft test. The camera goes back down to confirm the flue is clear and intact. We run a draft gauge or smoke test where applicable.
- 6
Written warranty and 365-Day Done Right Promise. You leave with photos, readings, scope, price, and warranty in hand. If it’s not done right, we make it right.

Why Frisco Homeowners Call Level Two Chimney Frisco for Olympia Chimney Work

We’ve completed more than 38,000 chimney inspections and cleanings since 2009, every one with a written price first and a documented record after. Corrine Halstead and her crew know Olympia Chimney’s product lines from hands-on work, not from a distributor brochure. When an Olympia part is back-ordered or overpriced, we have DuraFlex, HeatShield, and Gelco alternatives through Haven’s buying network, and we explain the trade-off in plain terms before you decide.
The 365-Day Done Right Promise is stamped on every job. Background-checked, uniformed technicians with license information displayed. A text when we’re on the way. Live phone support 24 hours a day. And Clause 4 of the Haven Standard means your photo record is included as standard, not sold as an upgrade.
FAQs
No, professional cleaning by a qualified technician does not void your Olympia Chimney warranty, though damage caused by improper cleaning methods would not be covered. We use tools and techniques compatible with 316Ti and 304 stainless, document our process in your photo record, and can provide that documentation if you ever file a warranty claim. Call (940) 290-7230 if you need a copy for your files.
Most Frisco homeowners with regular fireplace use need an annual sweep and Level 2 inspection, per NFPA 211. Frisco’s combination of occasional hard freezes and mineral-heavy water means creosote and combustion residue crystallize differently than in wetter climates. If you burn more than three times weekly during season, or if you’ve had Class III creosote before, we recommend inspection at the start and end of burning season. Call (940) 290-7230 to schedule.
We source both. Olympia Chimney parts come through Haven’s buying network when they’re the right choice for your system and timeline. When OEM is back-ordered or priced beyond equivalent quality, we use DuraFlex, HeatShield, Gelco, or Famco components and note the origin on your written invoice. We never substitute without explaining the difference and getting your approval in writing first.
The camera tells us. During your Level 2 inspection, we look for liner separation, thimble cracks, smoke chamber deterioration, and cap corrosion. We show you the footage, explain what we’re seeing, and give you a written price for each option: cleaning only, cleaning plus minor repair, or more extensive work if indicated. Nothing is recommended without camera evidence you can see for yourself, and we’ll tell you plainly when work can safely wait. Call (940) 290-7230 for a free estimate.
creosote accumulates, draft degrades, and the risk of chimney fire or carbon monoxide spillage increases. In Frisco, where many Olympia systems were installed in homes built 2015-2025, owners sometimes assume a newer liner means maintenance-free operation. It doesn’t. Class I and II creosote become Class III over time, and Class III requires mechanical removal that’s more expensive than annual prevention. The 365-Day Done Right Promise covers our work, not damage from years of neglect. Call (940) 290-7230 to get back on schedule.
