How Olympia Chimney Products Fail - and How We Fix Them

• Olympia Chimney Gelco-style single-flue caps in the 13×13 and 8×12 series develop corner weld fatigue after eight to twelve winters in Nassau County’s freeze-thaw cycle. The galvanized shell separates at the seams, and water runs straight onto the flue tile. We replace with a matching Olympia-compatible cap or step up to a Gelco stainless unit with a lifetime warranty on the metal.
• Olympia Chimney multi-flue caps on colonial-style Plainview homes often sag in the center because the original mounting brackets were set too far apart for the span. The cap tilts, pools water, and dumps it behind the crown. We pull the old brackets, install reinforced corner posts with stainless tapcons, and reset the cap level so it sheds water toward the drip edges.
• Olympia Chimney crown wash on pre-1990 chimneys was poured too thin, sometimes under an inch at the outer edge. After decades of Long Island’s marine air and salt-laden nor’easters, the concrete spalls and exposes the brick beneath. We grind back to sound material, apply a bonding agent, and pour a new crown with proper slope and overhang, or coat with HeatShield CrownCoat where the structure is sound but the surface is porous.
• Olympia Chimney caps with integrated spark arrestors clog with creosote flakes when the underlying flue has been neglected. The mesh restricts draft, smoke backs up into the house, and the homeowner blames the cap. We clean the arrestor, inspect the flue with a camera to find the source, and only then recommend cap replacement if the housing itself is compromised.
• Olympia Chimney custom wind-directional caps on homes north of Old Country Road seize in the pivot joint from pollen and fine grit that blows off the LIRR corridor. They freeze facing the wrong direction and create downdraft. We disassemble, clean and lubricate the pivot, or replace with a fixed-draft design if the homeowner prefers less maintenance.

Our Olympia Chimney Chimney Cap & Crown Process

1. 1
   Call and schedule. A live person answers, day or night. We book a window that works for you, not a four-hour guessing game.
2. 2
   Level-2 camera inspection. Our tech arrives in uniform, runs a camera down the flue, and photographs the crown, cap, and top course of brick. You see the images on the screen while we explain what we’re looking at.
3. 3
   Parts decision. If your Olympia Chimney cap is a standard size, we often have it on the truck. For discontinued series or custom builds, we source OEM-compatible parts from our suppliers or fabricate from Copperfield stainless stock. We tell you exactly what you’re getting and why.
4. 4
   The repair. Crown work gets formed, poured, and cured with a bonding accelerator so you can burn that same week if needed. Cap replacements are mounted with stainless hardware, never galvanized, because Plainview’s coastal air eats cheap metal in three years.
5. 5
   Post-repair test and documentation. We run the camera again, verify draft with a smoke pencil, and email you the before-and-after photos with a plain-English summary.
6. 6
   The 90-Day Done Right Promise. If anything isn’t right, we come back. In writing, no arguing.
