How Olympia Chimney Products Fail - and How We Fix Them

• Olympia Stainless Multi-Flue caps: screen mesh separation at the weld points. The 304-grade mesh on their multi-flue units is solid, but the spot welds where mesh meets frame take a beating from New City’s freeze-thaw cycles. Water gets between the layers, expands, and pops the weld. We see this most on homes near Rockland Lake where wind-driven rain accelerates the cycle. We either re-weld with stainless rod or source a replacement cap with a continuous-seam design.
• Olympia Galvanized Single-Flue caps: premature rust-through at the lid seam. The galvanized coating holds up well for years, but the rolled seam where the flat lid meets the vertical skirt is a water trap. In New City’s climate, that seam stays wet through November and March. Once the zinc layer breaches at the crease, rust runs fast. We replace with stainless or apply a crown coat to shed water away from the seam if the cap body is still sound.
• Olympia Wind-Directional caps: bearing seizure after heavy creosote buildup. The rotating lid on these caps is clever until the bearing housing gums up with creosote and ash. The cap stops spinning, wind loads shift to one side, and the flue collar starts to loosen. We disassemble, clean the bearing race with a solvent bath, repack with high-temp grease, and check the flue collar seal. If the bearing is pitted, we source a replacement rotor assembly.
• Olympia Crown Coating failures: cracking at the flue tile interface. Olympia’s crown coat products bond well to sound concrete, but they can’t bridge active movement. In New City, we find the worst cracking right where the flue tile passes through the crown, thermal expansion works the joint every burn season. We chase the crack with a grinder, apply a flexible mesh tape at the flue interface, then topcoat with a vapor-permeable sealant that lets moisture escape without inviting new water in.
• Olympia Custom Width caps: improper overhang on older New City chimneys. Many homes near New City’s original village center have oversize flue clusters from coal-to-wood conversions. Olympia’s standard custom widths sometimes ship with a 1-inch overhang spec that’s too tight for these setups. Water runs down the flue wall instead of shedding clear. We measure on-site and either order a wider skirt or fabricate a drip edge extension from 24-gauge stainless.

Our Olympia Chimney Chimney Cap & Crown Process

1. 1
   Call and schedule. A live person answers, checks our route for New City, and books a window. We ask whether you know the Olympia model or can text a photo of the existing cap.
2. 2
   Level-2 camera inspection. Our tech arrives uniformed and background-checked. We photograph the cap or crown from the roof, run a camera down the flue to check for water damage below, and show you the images on-site.
3. 3
   Parts decision. If the cap is a current Olympia part number, we quote OEM. If it’s discontinued or the lead time stretches past burning season, we explain the aftermarket option, usually Gelco or Famco stainless, and how it compares on gauge and screen size. You decide. No pressure.
4. 4
   The repair. For crown work, we grind, patch, and coat in sequence, keeping the flue tile protected from debris. For cap replacement, we verify the flue collar fit, seal with high-temp silicone, and torque the clamp bands to spec. Most jobs finish in one visit.
5. 5
   Post-repair test and documentation. We run a smoke pellet to confirm draft behavior with the new cap in place, then email you the photos, the plain-English verdict, and the written 90-Day Done Right Promise.
6. 6
   Cleanup and follow-up. We haul off the old cap or crown debris. If it’s not right, we don’t leave until it is. Russell Haines reviews every job photo before the invoice goes out.
