How Olympia Chimney Products Fail - and How We Fix Them

• Olympia Chimney stainless single-flue caps (SC-series) - weld-seam fatigue at the corners. The SC-series uses a folded-corner construction that collects condensation where the Slate Belt’s freeze-thaw cycles hit hardest, especially on north-facing exposures above Bangor’s older stone homes. We see the welds crack at year 8-12, never at year 3. Our fix: remove the cap, assess the flue tile condition underneath, and install either an OEM replacement or a Gelco equivalent with reinforced corner gussets if the homeowner wants longer service life.
• Olympia Chimney multi-flue caps (MC-series) - screen-bottom rust-through from creosote drip. The MC-series screen is 304 stainless, but Bangor’s heavy oak and hickory burning loads produce acidic creosote that pools at the screen’s low points. We’ve replaced MC-1317 screens on homes near the Bangor Borough Historic District where the original screen failed at the weld in under six years. We fabricate a replacement screen from heavier mesh or source the OEM part depending on what the flue configuration demands.
• Olympia Chimney gel-coated crown assemblies - UV chalking and surface cracking. Olympia’s factory crown coating holds up well for the first decade, but Bangor’s summer UV exposure on south-facing chimneys bakes the gel coat to a chalky finish. Hairline cracks follow, and water gets in. We grind back to sound concrete, apply a HeatShield CrownCoat or equivalent elastomeric system, and match the flue-penetration flashing to Olympia’s original geometry so the repair doesn’t look like a patch job.
• Olympia Chimney chase covers (CC-series on factory-built chimneys) - pan sag at the center rib. The CC-series chase cover uses a single center rib for stiffness, but on longer runs common in the ranch-style homes off Route 512, snow load and thermal expansion cause the pan to belly. Water ponds, then freezes. We replace with a heavier-gauge Copperfield or Gelco chase cover with cross-bracing, or we add internal support struts if the homeowner prefers to keep the Olympia original.
• Olympia Chimney wind-band adapters - loosening at the flue tile interface. The band-clamp system Olympia uses for round flue liners works until it doesn’t: thermal cycling loosens the clamp, the cap tilts, and Bangor’s spring windstorms finish the job. We’ve found caps dangling by one bolt on homes near Five Points. We remove the adapter, inspect the flue tile for spalling, and reinstall with a fresh stainless clamp and anti-seize compound, or upgrade to a Gelco slip-fit base if the tile top is too damaged for band retention.

Our Olympia Chimney Chimney Cap & Crown Process

1. 1
   Call and schedule. A live person answers, day or night. We ask for the Olympia Chimney model if you know it, the flue count, and whether you’re seeing water, debris, or draft problems.
2. 2
   Level-2 camera inspection on arrival. Our technician documents the flue interior, the crown surface, and the cap attachment points with photos you can see on the spot. No guessing, no “trust me.”
3. 3
   Parts decision: OEM Olympia or quality equivalent. We stock common Olympia Chimney caps and crowns, but if the lead time stretches or the OEM design has a known weak point, we’ll show you the Gelco, Copperfield, or Famco alternative and explain the trade-off. You choose.
4. 4
   Repair or replacement with the 90-Day Done Right Promise. Most cap swaps take under two hours. Crown coating needs 24-hour cure time before exposure. We protect the roof and landscaping, and we haul away the old material.
5. 5
   Post-job test and documentation. We run a draft test, verify cap clearance to the flue tile, and email you the photos and a plain-English verdict. The invoice matches the estimate.
6. 6
   Cleanup and guarantee activation. Your 90-Day Done Right Promise is in writing before we leave. If something’s not right, we come back. No paperwork, no arguing.
