How Olympia Chimney Products Fail - and How We Fix Them

• Olympia Chimney stainless steel liner sleeves (3003 and 304 alloy series) develop creosote pinholing near the smoke chamber in Plainview’s salt-air environment, especially within a mile of the South Oyster Bay shoreline. The alloy holds up well inland, but coastal chlorides accelerate localized corrosion at welded seams. We cut back to sound metal and splice in a DuraFlex 316Ti titanium-stabilized section - better salt resistance than the original 304, and it keeps the system warranty-intact because we’re repairing, not replacing, the run.
• Olympia Chimney Gelco-compatible caps (GCC and GCC-R series) sag at the mesh weld points after seven to ten winters of Nassau County freeze-thaw. The 18-gauge lid itself is fine; it’s the 24-gauge skirt attachment that goes first. We preserve the cap body, fabricate a heavier skirt from Copperfield 20-gauge stock, and reattach with stainless rivets instead of the original spot welds. Done right, the cap outlasts the second one.
• Olympia Chimney HeatShield-compatible cerfractory flue coatings delaminate when applied over active moisture intrusion - a common issue in Plainview split-levels with cathedral ceilings where roof-chimney flashing failed first. The coating looks cracked and “alligatored.” We stop the water first with proper flashing repair, then reapply HeatShield using the manufacturer’s modified mix ratio for damp-prone installations. Russell Haines learned this ratio adjustment the hard way on a job near Old Country Road in 2011, and we haven’t had a callback since.
• Olympia Chimney DuraFlex relining termination collars separate from the top plate when original installers used standard silicone instead of high-temp sealant. The collar lifts, rainwater runs between liner and flue tile, and the homeowner sees stains on the breast wall. We reseat with Gelco HT-2000 sealant, add a storm collar where the original spec omitted one, and document the repair with photos for the file.
• Olympia Chimney masonry-facing components in pre-fab chimney systems suffer spalling from interior freeze-thaw when the manufactured crown (often a thin concrete pour) cracks at year twelve. Water gets behind the Olympia veneer, pops the face brick, and the chimney looks like it needs total rebuild. Usually it doesn’t. We remove the damaged courses, install a proper Gelco poured crown with drip edge and expansion joint, and rebuild only what failed. The rest of the stack stays put.

Our Olympia Chimney Chimney Repair Process

1. 1
   Call and schedule. A live person answers, day or night. We ask about the Olympia Chimney component if you know it - model number, approximate install year, what you’re seeing. We book a two-hour arrival window, not “sometime Tuesday.”
2. 2
   Level-2 camera inspection. Our technician runs a camera the full flue length, photographs every joint, every seam, every crack. You see the images on a tablet before we write the estimate. No hidden damage, no surprises.
3. 3
   Parts decision - OEM or quality aftermarket. We stock DuraFlex, HeatShield, Gelco, and Copperfield repair components that interface correctly with Olympia Chimney systems. If an OEM Olympia part is genuinely superior for your specific repair, we’ll say so and source it. If the aftermarket equivalent is better engineered - the 316Ti liner splice, the heavier cap skirt - we’ll say that too. The choice is yours, and we document why.
4. 4
   Repair with upfront pricing locked. The number on the estimate is the number on the invoice. Our background-checked, uniformed technician completes most Olympia Chimney repairs in a single visit. We tarp the work area, run a post-repair camera verification, and test draft and spillage before we pack up.
5. 5
   Written guarantee and photo report. You get the 90-Day Done Right Promise - Krafted right, Every time, Your home first, Standing behind it - plus all inspection photos on request. If something’s not right, we make it right. No paperwork to find, no arguing.
6. 6
   Cleanup and follow-up. We haul away debris, run a magnet sweep for fasteners, and call within ten days to confirm the repair is holding. If the chimney is doing its job, you won’t think about it once all winter - that’s exactly the point.
