How Olympia Chimney Products Fail - and How We Fix Them

• Olympia Chimney stainless multi-flue caps: hood separation at the weld seams. The 304-grade stainless hoods on Olympia’s multi-flue units can separate at the corner welds after seven to ten years in Leesburg’s climate, especially on south-facing exposures where thermal cycling is most aggressive. We see this regularly on homes near the Potomac River where humidity stays elevated. Our fix: remove the failed cap, assess flue wall condition, and install a replacement with reinforced seam welding or upgrade to a Gelco cap with a lifetime warranty on the hood.
• Olympia Chimney galvanized single-flue caps: rust-through at the base flange. The galvanized line is budget-friendly when new, but the base flange sits in the wettest zone and rusts from the inside out. By the time you see staining on the exterior, the metal is paper-thin. We replace with a stainless or copper equivalent, never another galvanized unit, and we reflash the flue tile edge to prevent recurrence.
• Olympia Chimney wind-directional caps: seized rotation bearings. The wind-directional series relies on a bearing assembly that gums up with creosote and atmospheric grit. In Leesburg, pollen season adds a layer of sticky residue that accelerates the problem. A seized bearing turns a functional cap into a sail that strains the flue. We disassemble, clean the bearing race, lubricate with high-temp graphite, or replace the bearing cartridge if galling has occurred.
• Olympia Chimney crown wash: cracking parallel to the flue tiles. Olympia’s poured crowns are adequate when new, but the proprietary mix shrinks more than traditional concrete in its first two winters. The cracks run straight across the crown, not random spider-webbing, which is the tell. We rout the crack, inject flexible masonry sealant, and apply a breathable crown coating from HeatShield or Copperfield rather than slapping on more rigid cement that will crack again.
• Olympia Chimney chase cover conversions: sagging center panel on wide chases. When an Olympia chase cover spans more than 36 inches, the flat center panel deflects over time and ponds water. In Leesburg, a good freeze-thaw winter adds ice load. We replace with a cross-broken design or add structural ribs, fabricated to measurement, and we always verify the chimney structure beneath is sound before loading a new cover.

Our Olympia Chimney Chimney Cap & Crown Process

1. 1
   Call and schedule. A live person answers, 24 hours a day. We book a window that works for you. No app, no callback queue.
2. 2
   Level-2 camera inspection on arrival. Our technician photographs the flue interior, the crown surface, and the cap condition from the roof. You see what we see. Russell Haines or one of our background-checked, uniformed techs delivers a plain-English verdict: what is wrong, what it means, and what it will take to fix it.
3. 3
   Parts decision: OEM Olympia Chimney or quality aftermarket. We stock common Olympia Chimney cap sizes and crown repair materials. If your model is discontinued or the OEM part has a known weakness, we explain the aftermarket alternative, warranty implications, and price difference. You decide. No pressure.
4. 4
   The repair. Most cap replacements and crown coatings are completed in one visit. We use professional-grade materials from Olympia Chimney, Gelco, Copperfield, or HeatShield, never builder-grade substitutes. The work area is protected, and we run a post-repair camera check to confirm clear flue passage and proper cap clearances.
5. 5
   Documentation and guarantee. You receive photos, a written summary, and the 90-Day Done Right Promise in writing. If it is not right, we come back. No paperwork to find, no arguing.
6. 6
   Cleanup and final walkthrough. We leave the roof, yard, and hearth area as we found them. You pay the price we quoted. The number on the estimate is the number on the invoice.
