How Olympia Chimney Products Fail - and How We Fix Them

• Olympia Chimney stainless multi-flue caps: The 304-grade mesh on earlier Olympia multi-flue caps can sag between support bars after 6-10 years in San Mateo’s salt air, especially in Baywood and hills homes within a mile of the bay. The gap that opens lets swallows and roof rats enter the flue. We measure the flue array on site, source a replacement cap with 18-gauge lid and reinforced mesh through Haven’s network, and stamp the installation under Clause 1 of the Haven Standard with a written warranty.
• Olympia Chimney galvanized economy caps: The galvanized line sold through big-box channels in the late 2010s develops red rust at the lid seam in 3-5 years here. San Mateo’s winter marine layer keeps the metal damp for weeks at a stretch. We do not reinstall galvanized caps on any chimney we service. We replace them with stainless or copper equivalents, show the customer the old cap and the camera footage of any flue damage, then quote the upgrade in writing.
• Olympia Chimney pour-in-place crowns: The factory-mixed crown compound Olympia shipped for contractor application in 2015-2019 was prone to shrinkage cracking in our freeze-thaw-light cycles. Not a full freeze, but enough 40-degree swings to stress thin crowns. We find hairline cracks that have widened to water paths. Our fix is crown coating with a flexible elastomeric product or full crown rebuild if the steel mesh is exposed. The camera goes down first to confirm no flue damage from the leak.
• Olympia Chimney chase covers on prefab units: The stamped steel chase covers on Olympia prefab fireplace systems rust at the corner seams where the chimney meets the roof cricket. In San Mateo’s older subdivisions near Central Park, we’ve seen chase covers fail in under 8 years. We fabricate a replacement chase cover in stainless or copper to the exact roof pitch, or source a Gelco equivalent if the customer prefers. Every chase cover job includes a photo of the flue termination before and after.
• Olympia Chimney wind-directional caps: The rotating collar on Olympia’s wind-directional line seizes in our coastal corrosion environment. The cap sits stuck facing one direction, creating downdraft smoke spillage into the room. We disassemble the collar, assess whether the flue can accept a standard static cap with proper draft, and replace with a Gelco or Famco static model if the rotation mechanism is unsalvageable. The camera confirms draft performance after installation.

Our Olympia Chimney Chimney Cap & Crown Process

1. 1
   Call and schedule. A live person answers, notes the Olympia Chimney product if known, and books a Level 2 camera inspection. You receive a text when your technician is en route.
2. 2
   Camera inspection. We run the camera down the flue before touching the cap or crown. Corrine Halstead started this practice in 2009, and it became Clause 4 of the Haven Standard. The camera doesn’t guess. Neither do we. You see what we see.
3. 3
   Written price and scope. We deliver a written price, written scope, and written warranty before any work begins. Haven Standard Clause 1. No exceptions. If you have a competitor’s written estimate, we provide a free second opinion.
4. 4
   Parts decision. For Olympia Chimney systems, we source OEM caps and crowns when available and cost-justified. When OEM lead times stretch past two weeks or pricing is inflated, we substitute quality aftermarket from DuraFlex, HeatShield, Gelco, or Famco through Haven’s buying network. You see both options in writing.
5. 5
   Installation and test. We install to manufacturer clearance specs, seal all fasteners with appropriate sealant for the material, and run a post-repair camera pass to confirm flue integrity. The technician photographs the completed work.
6. 6
   Documentation and guarantee. You receive a documented photo record of the inspection and repair, plus the 365-Day Done Right Promise. If it’s not done right, we make it right.
