This page is written for Olympia Chimney owners across Fort Lauderdale, from Victoria Park to Coral Ridge to the neighborhoods off Bayview Drive. You’ll learn how Olympia products tend to fail in our coastal climate, what a proper sweep involves, what it costs, and how our warranty works if something goes wrong. Nathan Corliss and our techs have been up on Fort Lauderdale roofs for close to two decades, so none of this is theoretical.

How Olympia Chimney Products Fail – and How We Fix Them

Every chimney brand has its quirks, and Olympia is no exception. Here’s what we actually see on Fort Lauderdale rooftops, not what a product brochure says.

• Olympia Vortex Series caps clog with salt-air corrosion. The Vortex line uses a slightly tighter mesh than most, which is great for keeping embers in, but Fort Lauderdale’s salt air accelerates rust on the mesh within three to four years. Once the mesh crusts over, draft drops noticeably. We clean the mesh, and if it’s too far gone, we replace the cap with a stainless aftermarket option that breathes better.
• Olympia Terra Cotta flue liners spall faster near the coast. The clay tile liners Olympia uses on masonry fireplaces are standard quality, but salt moisture and the constant humidity here cause surface flaking faster than inland. During a sweep we check for spalled clay pieces, which can drop into the flue and restrict airflow. If we find spalling, you’ll see it in the camera report we hand you before we recommend anything.
• Olympia Ventis double-wall pipe builds creosote at the seams. On prefab fireplaces running Olympia Ventis pipe, the seam joints are the real trouble spot. Creosote collects where pipe sections meet, especially if the fireplace ran hot and fast fires followed by slow smoldering ones. Our sweeps pay extra attention to these seams because that’s where chimney fires start in Fort Lauderdale homes with Olympia pipe.
• Olympia rain pans and chase tops leak at the corners. The factory rain pans on Olympia prefab chimneys are functional, but the corner welds are thin. After enough Fort Lauderdale downpours, they rust through and water drips down onto the firebox. We’ll catch that during a sweep, but the fix is usually a replacement chase top, which we quote separately.
• Olympia dampers stick open or closed in humid months. The factory throat dampers on Olympia fireplaces are steel with a simple hinge. Fort Lauderdale’s summer humidity and salt air cause them to bind. If your damper won’t close all the way, your air conditioning is literally getting pulled up the flue. Our sweep includes damper lubrication and adjustment, which resolves most sticky-damper complaints without a parts order.

These are real patterns we’ve documented over years in Fort Lauderdale. Your fireplace may be in a different condition entirely, and that’s fine. We report what we find, not what a national average says we should find.

Our Olympia Chimney Chimney Sweep Process

Here’s exactly what happens when you call us for an Olympia chimney sweep in Fort Lauderdale.

1. 1
   You call (754) 354-1451. A live person answers, even at 9 p.m. We ask basic questions: fireplace type, when it was last swept, anything unusual you’ve noticed.
2. 2
   We confirm the written price upfront. Before we schedule, you get a written quote for the sweep. The number on that quote is the number on the invoice unless we find something genuinely dangerous that requires a separate scope of work.
3. 3
   We arrive in the window we gave you. Background-checked, uniformed technicians. We lay drop cloths from the door to the fireplace. Your floors stay clean.
4. 4
   We run the full sweep. Rotary brushes, rods, and a HEPA-filtered vacuum do the actual work. We brush the flue from top or bottom depending on your Olympia setup. We also sweep the firebox, smoke shelf, damper, and smoke chamber. Each section is checked with a mirror before we move on.
5. 5
   We hand you the camera report. After sweeping, we run a camera up the flue and hand you the stills or video. This is our standard, not an upsell. If the liner is cracked, you’ll see it. If it’s clean, you’ll see that too.
6. 6
   We put our guarantee in writing. If we did repair work, you get a written guarantee covering the repair. If it fails during the guarantee period, we come back and fix it at no charge. That’s the 365-Day Done Right Promise, and it’s included, not sold as an add-on.

Say the price first, explain the work second, put it all in writing. That is the whole business model, and it applies to every Olympia chimney in Fort Lauderdale we touch.

What Olympia Chimney Chimney Sweep Costs in Fort Lauderdale

Here are honest price ranges for the Olympia chimney sweep work we do most often in Fort Lauderdale.

• Standard open fireplace sweep: $189 – $329. Most common, fixed-price based on flue condition and access.
• Prefab fireplace with Olympia Ventis pipe: $219 – $369. More steps because we pull the termination cap for proper cleaning.
• Creosote removal, heavy buildup (glazed or stage 2-3): $349 – $579. Requires chemical treatment plus mechanical removal over a longer visit.
• Level 1 inspection add-on: $79 – $149. Recommended as part of the sweep. Level 2 inspection runs $249 – $449 when needed for a real estate sale or after a chimney event.
• Chimney cap replacement with aftermarket stainless: $189 – $389 installed, depending on flue size and roof access.

What moves the price is access (flat roof vs. steep clay tile), creosote condition, and whether we need to remove and reset an Olympia rain pan. Fort Lauderdale roofs with barrel tile cost more to walk safely. Call (754) 354-1451 for a written quote. Estimates are free, and we don’t charge a surcharge for heights or coastal zip codes.

Why Fort Lauderdale Homeowners Call Ashby Chimney Fort Lauderdale for Olympia Chimney Work

We’ve been cleaning and repairing chimneys since 2002, and every Ashby Chimney Fort Lauderdale customer gets the same baseline: written price before work starts, background-checked techs, and a written guarantee on every repair. If a covered repair fails within the guarantee period, we return and fix it without charging you a dollar. The Kingswell Way means we say the price, show up in the window, leave it cleaner, put the guarantee in writing, and come back if it fails. That’s five promises most contractors won’t make, and we’ve kept them in Fort Lauderdale for a long time.

We also carry parts and materials from trusted trade brands beyond Olympia. If your chimney needs a new flex liner, we install DuraFlex. If the firebox needs a refractory repair, HeatShield is our go-to. For chase covers and stainless components, Gelco holds up far better in salt air than factory originals. Nathan Corliss grew up in Los Angeles, trained through the vocational programs at LA Trade-Technical College, and settled his crew into the Fort Lauderdale market after years of cleaning and inspecting chimneys from Las Olas Boulevard to the barrier island communities. He quotes the price before he touches a tool, and he puts every scope item in writing. When he’s not on a ladder, he’s usually tinkering with a secondhand boat motor in the driveway, which he insists takes longer to fix than any flue.

Ashby carries ash right in the name, fitting for the people whose job is to clean it out.
