How Olympia Chimney Products Fail - and How We Fix Them

• Olympia Chimney Gelco-style single-flue caps (Galvanized and Stainless lines): The mesh screen on these caps can separate at the weld points after 6-10 winters of Naperville’s freeze-thaw cycling, especially in neighborhoods like Cress Creek where wind exposure is higher. We see this most often on the 8″ and 10″ round models. Our fix: remove the cap, assess flue tile condition underneath, and install a replacement with stainless mesh and reinforced corner welds. We document the flue top with photos before and after.
• Olympia Chimney multi-flue caps (Black Powder Coat and Stainless series): The lid can sag or separate from the skirt when the original mounting hardware corrodes. This happens faster if the cap was installed without a proper saddle or cricket on wider chimney stacks common in 1990s Naperville builds near Ashbury. We replace the hardware with galvanized or stainless brackets sized to the flue spacing, and we check that the lid pitch sheds water toward the back, not the front.
• Olympia Chimney concrete crowns (poured and pre-formed): Hairline cracking is normal; vertical cracking or spalling at the edges is not. The pre-formed crowns on some Olympia Chimney builder-grade packages shrink faster than site-poured concrete because the mix is denser and less forgiving of substrate movement. In Naperville’s clay-heavy soils, that substrate moves. We grind out active cracks, apply a flexible crown coat rated for 300% elongation, or cut and pour a new crown if the structural integrity is gone. The camera doesn’t guess. Neither do we.
• Olympia Chimney chase covers (aluminum and copper): The aluminum models pit at the fastener holes where galvanic reaction occurs with steel screws, a problem accelerated by road salt aerosol in winter, particularly for homes near Route 59 or Ogden Avenue corridors. We replace with a slightly heavier gauge aluminum or upgrade to copper if the chase height justifies the investment, always using compatible fasteners and a bead of high-temp sealant at penetration points.
• Olympia Chimney draft-inducing caps (Vacu-Stack and similar rotating models): The bearing assembly seizes after 4-7 years of exposure, especially if the homeowner burns primarily softwoods that deposit acidic condensate. A seized Vacu-Stack becomes a blockage risk and can reverse draft in certain wind conditions. We disassemble, inspect the flue for creosote loading that contributed to the corrosion, and either rebuild the bearing or replace with a static cap if draft conditions allow.

Our Olympia Chimney Chimney Cap & Crown Process

1. 1
   Call and schedule. We answer live, day or night. You’ll get a 2-hour arrival window and a text when your tech is en route. Background-checked, uniformed, license number provided on request.
2. 2
   Camera-scan inspection. NFPA 211 Level 2 standard: camera down the flue, photos of the crown or cap from the roof, close-ups of deterioration patterns. We look for the specific failure signatures Olympia Chimney products develop. Clause 4 of the Haven Standard requires this photo record on every job.
3. 3
   Written price, written scope, written warranty. Before any work starts, you get a single-page document with line-item pricing, parts specification (OEM Olympia Chimney or equivalent aftermarket from our Haven network), and what the 365-Day Done Right Promise covers. No verbal estimates. No follow-up guesswork.
4. 4
   Repair or replacement. Cap jobs typically take 45-90 minutes. Crown coating needs dry conditions and 4-6 hours cure time before moisture exposure. Full crown rebuilds are scheduled for weather-stable days. We protect the roof and landscaping; we don’t leave mortar smears.
5. 5
   Post-work documentation. Photos of completed work, camera re-check if the flue was accessed, and a written summary of what was done and what to monitor. Your record is archived under Haven Standard Clause 4.
6. 6
   Follow-up. We call within 14 days on crown rebuilds to confirm no cracks developed during initial cure. The 365-Day Done Right Promise runs from completion date.
