Chimney sweep logs do not sweep chimneys. They loosen some creosote - which then falls where a brush and vacuum still have to collect it.

How Olympia Chimney Products Fail - and How We Fix Them
Olympia Chimney makes solid, affordable fireplace components. But they fail in predictable ways, especially in Deer Park homes where salt air and hard winters take their toll. Here’s what we actually see:
- Zero Clearance firebox panels cracking - Olympia’s ZC fireplaces use refractory panels that crack after years of heat cycling. The crack isn’t cosmetic; it exposes the firebox shell. We replace the panels with OEM-spec refractory material, not generic brick panels that don’t fit the firebox dimensions.
- Gas log sets with clogged burner ports - The Olympia Vented and Vent-Free gas log burners collect soot and spider webs in the burner tubes. You get weak, yellow flames and that gas smell. We pull the logs, clean the ports with a proper burner brush, and check the thermocouple and pilot assembly while we’re in there.
- Wood burning insert blower motors failing - Olympia inserts rely on a blower to push heat into the room. The blower sits in ash and dust and eventually seizes up or starts screaming. We replace it with a motor that matches the insert’s cfm rating, not whatever’s on the truck that day.
- Damper assemblies rusting out - Olympia’s cast-iron dampers don’t love Long Island humidity. The pivot pins rust, the damper plate warps, and suddenly your fireplace drafts like a screen door. We fit new damper assemblies sized to the flue and seal the frame properly.
- Fireplace conversions gone wrong - A lot of Deer Park homes had Olympia wood burning fireplaces converted to gas years ago without proper liner or venting. We fix conversions done wrong: correct venting, proper gas line sizing, and a real inspection before anything gets lit.
Your flue doesn’t care how the fire looks. It cares how it breathes.
Our Olympia Chimney Fireplace Services Process
Here’s how a typical Olympia Chimney fireplace job goes, start to finish:
- 1
You call (631) 214-2108. A live person answers. No voicemail box, no call menu. We ask what’s happening, give you a real arrival window, and there’s no trip charge inside the county.
- 2
We show up and look. Wendell or one of his crew inspects the unit, asks how long the problem’s been going on, and checks the firebox, flue, gas line (if applicable), and venting.
- 3
We show you the evidence. If there’s a crack, a clog, or a failed component, you see it on camera or in plain sight. We explain it in words you’d use at the hardware store, not a spec sheet.
- 4
We quote the fix upfront. OEM part or quality aftermarket - we tell you the tradeoff and let you choose. The number we quote is the number on the invoice. Every single time.
- 5
We do the work and test it. Repairs completed, gas pressure checked, draft verified, firebox cleaned. We don’t leave until the unit runs the way it should.
- 6
You get the 90-Day Done Right Promise. In writing. If it’s not right, one call brings us back at no additional cost.

Why Deer Park Homeowners Call Top Hat Chimney for Olympia Chimney Work
Wendell Pike started Top Hat Chimney in 1999, and he’s been on Deer Park rooftops and in Deer Park fireboxes ever since. He’s done inspections on homes right off Commack Road more times than he can count. When an Olympia Chimney unit fails, Wendell knows whether it’s a $40 part or a replacement situation - and he’ll tell you straight-faced when the answer is neither.
We service Olympia Chimney alongside DuraFlex, HeatShield, Gelco, Famco, and Copperfield products. That matters because deer park homes often have mixed-brand setups - Olympia fireplace, DuraFlex liner, HeatShield on the smoke chamber. A sweep who only knows one brand misses what the other components need.
Every completed job carries the 90-Day Done Right Promise in writing. One call brings us back. No argument, no runaround. That’s the whole point of hiring a local owner-operator instead of a franchise that rotated in last spring.
And if it doesn’t need doing, we’ll tell you that too.
FAQs
Yes, in most cases. Olympia Chimney parts are still available through distributors, though some older series-specific components have been discontinued. For discontinued parts, we source quality aftermarket replacements that match the original specs - and we tell you upfront which is which before you pay for anything. Call (631) 214-2108 and we’ll check parts availability for your specific Olympia model.
We’re an independent Olympia Chimney service provider, not a manufacturer-authorized warranty shop. If your fireplace is under an Olympia Chimney warranty, we’ll help you understand what the warranty covers and document everything properly so you can file a claim. Most warranties cover parts only, not labor or diagnostics - that’s the part nobody tells you until you’re standing there holding a cracked firebox panel.
If the firebox shell itself is cracked or warped, replacement is the honest answer. Refractory panels, blowers, dampers, gas valves, pilots - all repairable at a fraction of replacement cost. We’ll show you the condition on camera and give you a plain-English verdict, every time, no exceptions. If repair buys you five more years for $400, we’ll tell you that. If it’s a $3,000 bandaid on a dead unit, we’ll tell you that too.
Most Olympia fireplace service calls in Deer Park are scheduled within a few days. We keep common Olympia parts on the truck - thermocouples, pilot assemblies, gas valves, damper hardware - which means a lot of jobs are done same visit. If we need to order a specific part, we tell you the ETA before we leave. Call (631) 214-2108 and we’ll give you a real arrival window.
First-degree creosote is a brush job. Third-degree is a glaze - catch it early. Skip maintenance long enough and you’re looking at clogged burner ports on gas units, cracked refractory on wood burners, rusted dampers on both, and occasionally a chimney fire that could have been prevented with a $200 cleaning. Once a year, burn or no burn. Chimneys break in the off-season too.
