How Olympia Chimney Products Fail - and How We Fix Them

• Galvanized steel cap rust-through on older Olympia Chimney Builder Series units. The Builder Series caps installed in Freeport homes during the 1990s and early 2000s used a thinner galvanized coating that doesn’t hold up against Long Island’s salt-laden coastal air. We’ve replaced dozens near the Nautical Mile where the rust starts at the mesh corners and spreads inward. We swap these for stainless steel or copper alternatives that won’t rot out in five years.
• Multi-flue cap seal failure on Olympia Chimney Elite Series installations. The Elite Series multi-flue caps use a silicone bead between the base pan and the flue risers; in Freeport’s freeze-thaw cycles, that bead hardens and cracks by year six or seven. Water runs down the flue tile and pools behind the fireplace damper. We remove the old cap, reseat with high-temp silicone rated to 500°F, and add a drip edge that directs water clear of the masonry.
• Crown wash cracking on Olympia Chimney pre-fabricated chase covers. The factory crown wash on Olympia Chimney chase systems is poured thin, sometimes under an inch at the edges. In Freeport’s older split-levels near the recreation center, we’ve found these washing out and exposing the wood chase frame to rot. We grind back to sound concrete, build up with a proper 2-inch minimum slope, and top with a breathable crown sealant.
• Mesh screen collapse on Olympia Chimney wind-directional caps. The wind-directional caps work well until the mesh gets clogged with creosote or coastal debris; then the spring-loaded hood jams open or shut. A stuck-open hood lets rain straight down the flue. A stuck-shut hood traps smoke. We clean or replace the mesh, lubricate the pivot, and test the action before we leave.
• Flue tile overhang interfering with cap fit on Olympia Chimney relined systems. When an Olympia Chimney stainless liner terminates with a slight overhang past the flue tile, standard caps don’t seat flush. The gap pulls wind-driven rain. We measure the overhang on site and either trim the tile back or spec an extended-base cap from Copperfield that bridges the difference without stressing the liner.

Our Olympia Chimney Chimney Cap & Crown Process

1. 1
   Call and schedule. A live person answers, asks about your Olympia Chimney model if you know it, and books a window that works. No app, no callback queue.
2. 2
   Level-2 camera inspection. Our tech arrives uniformed and background-checked, sets up the camera, and runs it the full flue length. You see the footage on a tablet. We note cap crown condition, flue tile edges, liner termination, and any water damage pattern.
3. 3
   Parts decision: OEM or quality aftermarket. For Olympia Chimney systems, we stock Gelco and Copperfield caps that match or exceed OEM specs. If your warranty is still active and requires genuine parts, we’ll source Olympia Chimney direct. Otherwise, we recommend the better-built aftermarket option and explain why.
4. 4
   The repair. Crown work gets ground, formed, and cured with proper slope and overhang. Cap installs get stainless fasteners, not galvanized, with a bead of high-temp sealant at the penetration. We check damper operation and draft before we pack up.
5. 5
   Photo report and written guarantee. You get before-and-after photos, a plain-English summary, and the 90-Day Done Right Promise in writing. If it’s not right, we make it right. No paperwork to dig up, no arguing.
6. 6
   Cleanup and final walk. We haul the old material, rake the yard if we used the roof access, and walk you through what we did. The number on the estimate is the number on the invoice.
