How Olympia Chimney Products Fail - and How We Fix Them

• Olympia Chimney stainless single-flue caps - weld-seam corrosion at the skirt. The 304-grade stainless models sold through many Milford-area suppliers in the 2010s develop pinhole leaks where the skirt meets the mesh screen, especially on north-facing exposures above the Delaware River valley where fog sits heavy. We spot this with a camera inspection, then fit a replacement cap with a heavier-gauge skirt or switch to a Gelco cap with a rolled edge if the flue configuration allows.
• Olympia Chimney multi-flue enclosures - lid sag and water pooling. The bolted-lid design on older Olympia multi-flue units (pre-2018) lets the lid settle after a decade of Pike County freeze-thaw cycles. Water ponds, freezes, and cracks the crown beneath. We measure the sag, replace the lid with a reinforced Olympia-compatible unit or a custom-fabricated alternative, and reseal the crown with HeatShield CrownCoat.
• Olympia Chimney galvanized economy caps - rust-through at the base ring. These were common on spec homes built during Milford’s 2005-2012 building boom. The galvanized coating fails first at the base ring where creosote condensation collects. We do not reinstall galvanized; we upgrade to stainless or copper and document the flue condition because rust staining often signals deeper crown damage.
• Olympia Chimney wind-directional caps - seized pivot joints. The rotating collar on Olympia’s wind-directional line gums up with creosote and river-valley pollen, freezing the cap in one position and creating a downdraft path. We disassemble, clean the pivot, and if the bushing is worn, source a compatible replacement or recommend a fixed-direction Gelco cap for flues that draw adequately without rotation.
• Olympia Chimney crown-mounted caps - anchor bolt pullout from deteriorated concrete. When an Olympia cap is bolted to a crown that has already begun spalling, the torque of seasonal expansion pops the anchors. We remove the cap, assess whether the crown can be resurfaced with HeatShield or needs rebuild, then reinstall with epoxy-set anchors that bite into sound substrate.

Our Olympia Chimney Chimney Cap & Crown Process

1. 1
   Call and schedule. A live person answers, notes your Olympia Chimney model if you know it, and books a window. We do not give a repair quote over the phone; we need eyes on the system.
2. 2
   Level-2 camera inspection. Our technician photographs the cap, crown, and flue interior from the roof and from inside the firebox. You see the images on a tablet before we discuss anything.
3. 3
   Parts decision. If your Olympia Chimney cap is still in production, we quote OEM. If it is discontinued or the OEM lead time exceeds two weeks, we propose a quality aftermarket equivalent from Gelco or Famco and explain the trade-off. No parts change happens without your approval.
4. 4
   The repair. For cap replacement, we remove the old unit, inspect the flue tile and crown edge, install the new cap with proper clearances, and seal anchor points. For crown work, we grind loose material, apply bonding agent, and trowel HeatShield CrownCoat or pour new concrete depending on depth of damage.
5. 5
   Post-repair verification. We run the camera again to confirm no debris fell into the flue, check cap draw with a smoke pencil, and photograph the finished work.
6. 6
   Written guarantee and cleanup. You receive a printed report with photos, our 90-Day Done Right Promise, and an invoice that matches the upfront number. We haul away the old cap.
