How Olympia Chimney Products Fail - and How We Fix Them

• Stainless 304 single-flue caps with mesh fatigue. The Olympia Chimney 304-grade caps sold through many Ewing-area suppliers in the 2010s carry 5/8-inch mesh that clogs with cottonwood seed in late spring, then traps moisture against the flue collar. We see this on homes near the Delaware River floodplain where humidity stays high through October. We replace with 304L or 316L mesh on a heavier-gauge base plate, or step up to a Gelco cap if the flue tile is already spalling.
• Galvanized multi-flue cap rust-through at the skirt. Olympia Chimney’s galvanized multi-flue units, common on Ewing’s 1960s-1980s split-levels, rust from the inside out where the skirt meets the chimney crown. The galvanized coating holds up poorly against freeze-thaw cycling, and Ewing’s 25-30 annual freeze days accelerate it. We pull the cap, assess the crown substrate, and install a stainless or copper replacement with a drip edge that sheds water clear of the masonry.
• Crown wash separation on factory-built chase pans. Olympia Chimney’s chase pan systems, paired with their B-vent and direct-vent lines, use a factory crown wash that shrinks away from the flue opening after seven to ten years. The gap looks small but funnels water directly onto the chase framing. We remove the failed wash, inspect the pan for pinholes with a camera, and reflash with a proper crown coat or full pan replacement using Copperfield components.
• Flue collar gaps from thermal cycling. The collar on Olympia Chimney’s older galvanized caps loosens where it clamps to terra cotta flue tile, especially on fireplaces that see intermittent use. Ewing homeowners who burn only on weekends create more expansion-contraction stress than daily burners. We recollar with a stainless draw-band or upsize to a cap with an integral storm collar that moves independently of the flue.
• Chimney crown spalling beneath the cap. Even a good cap cannot save a crown that was poured without an overhang or proper mix. Olympia Chimney caps are well-built, but we’ve found them installed on Ewing crowns that were sloped toward the flue - a built-in swimming pool. We repair the crown with a proper pitch and overhang, then install the cap on a bed of sealant that won’t trap moisture.

Our Olympia Chimney Chimney Cap & Crown Process

1. 1
   Call and schedule. A live person answers, day or night. We ask about your Olympia Chimney product if you know it, the chimney’s age, and what you’re seeing - rust streaks, water in the firebox, or a cap that’s gone missing in a windstorm.
2. 2
   Level-2 camera inspection. Our technician arrives in uniform, photographs the cap and crown from the roof, and runs a camera down the flue. You see the footage. We note flue tile condition, creosote buildup, and whether the cap failure has already let water damage the smoke chamber.
3. 3
   Parts decision: OEM or quality aftermarket. We stock Olympia Chimney-compatible caps and crowns, but we’re independent - not authorized by Olympia Chimney. If their lead time is long or their spec doesn’t suit your flue, we source equivalent or upgraded parts from Gelco, Famco, or Copperfield. You get the part number, the warranty term, and the price before we order.
4. 4
   The repair. Most cap replacements and crown coatings finish in two to four hours. Crown rebuilds take longer. We protect your roof and landscaping, work with the cap off so we can inspect the flue mouth, and seal all fasteners with neoprene or silicone rated for 400°F.
5. 5
   Test and document. We run a final camera pass to confirm no debris fell during work, verify draft with a smoke pencil, and leave you with photos, a plain-English report, and your 90-Day Done Right Promise in writing.
6. 6
   Cleanup and follow-up. We haul off the old cap. If the crown coating needs cure time, we call to confirm performance after the first hard rain. No paperwork from you - we keep the record.
