How Olympia Chimney Products Fail - and How We Fix Them

Olympia builds solid equipment, but cap and crown problems follow patterns. Here’s what we actually see on Alexandria roofs:

• Olympia stainless steel caps with rusting mounting brackets. The cap itself often holds up fine, but the galvanized brackets underneath corrode in Alexandria’s wet winters and salt-tinged air off the Potomac. We replace the brackets with stainless and reuse the cap when the mesh is still sound. Saves you $200 or more versus a full cap swap.
• Crown spalling on masonry chimneys paired with Olympia liners. When the crown wasn’t poured with a proper overhang originally, water creeps under the cap and freezes. We see this all over the Rosemont and Beverley Hills neighborhoods. The fix is a proper crown rebuild with a 2-inch drip edge, not a patch of caulk that lasts one season.
• Cracked crowns from Olympia’s factory-applied crown coat failing. Some Olympia units came with a thin cementitious crown coating that starts flaking after 8-10 years of Alexandria freeze-thaw cycles. Once it’s gone, the crown underneath absorbs water and cracks. We grind it down, repair the substrate, and apply a flexible crown coat rated for this climate.
• Damaged multi-flue caps on Olympia Air-Insulated chimney systems. These systems run hot, and over time the cap screen warps. Birds get in, and you’ll hear them before you see them. We fabricate or order a replacement multi-flue cap sized to the exact outside dimension, because a generic one leaves gaps that defeat the purpose.
• Wind-driven rain getting past worn cap screens on Olympia’s factory round caps. Alexandria gets nor’easters that push rain sideways. If the mesh is torn or the cap sits loose on the flue pipe, water ends up in the firebox. We check the screen gauge, the band tightness, and replace with a heavier mesh where it makes sense.

Our Olympia Chimney Chimney Cap & Crown Process

1. 1
   Call and talk to a live person. You’ll get a real conversation, not a voicemail box. We figure out what Olympia product you have and what you’re seeing.
2. 2
   Roof inspection with photos. We get eyes on the cap and crown, check the flue sizing, and take pictures so you see exactly what we see.
3. 3
   Upfront price, in writing. Before work starts, you know the number. Whether it’s an OEM Olympia part or a quality aftermarket equivalent, we lay out both options and the honest trade-off.
4. 4
   The repair or replacement. We pull the old cap, prep the crown or flue top, and install. Clean work, no mystery extras.
5. 5
   Function check and cleanup. We verify fit, drain path, and screen integrity before we come down. Tarps stay under the ladder, and the roof is left as we found it.
6. 6
   90-Day Done Right Promise. If anything we touched isn’t right, one call brings Wendell and the crew back at no cost. In writing, every time.
