How Olympia Chimney Products Fail - and How We Fix Them

• Olympia Chimney Gelco-style single-flue caps in the 13×13 and 13×18 sizes - these are the caps we see most often on Bedford’s 1970s and 1980s colonials near Bedford Village. The stainless mesh eventually separates at the weld points where it meets the lid, letting squirrels and raccoons pull it loose. We replace with a matching Gelco cap or fabricate a custom fit if the flue tile has shifted, and we always check the flue tile itself for cracks while we’re up there.
• Olympia Chimney multi-flue caps on larger homes off Guard Hill Road and the back roads toward Pound Ridge - the galvanized steel frames on older installations rust through at the corners where snow and leaf debris collect. Bedford’s heavy oak leaf fall and freeze-thaw cycles accelerate this. We pull the old cap, assess whether the crown beneath is still sound, and install a replacement in stainless or copper depending on what the homeowner wants to spend.
• Olympia Chimney crown coating failures on poured concrete crowns - the factory-applied cementitious coating on some Olympia Chimney systems from the 1990s and early 2000s shrinks and alligators after fifteen to twenty years, especially on south-facing chimneys that take full sun. Water gets underneath, freezes, and pops off chunks of the actual crown. We grind back to sound concrete, apply a proper crown coat with expansion-friendly formulation, and slope it correctly so water runs off.
• Olympia Chimney flue stretcher caps on older masonry chimneys - these caps extend the flue height but create a ledge where creosote and debris build up, and the band clamp corrodes from the inside out because it is never seen. We have found these completely detached during inspections in Bedford, just sitting crooked on the flue top. We replace with a proper outside-mount cap or a top-sealing damper cap depending on the chimney configuration.
• Olympia Chimney chase covers on prefab chimneys in the newer construction near Bedford Hills - the original galvanized chase covers rust at the field-welded corners and the pipe collar within ten to twelve years. We measure on site and fabricate a replacement in stainless steel or copper, with a proper storm collar and counterflashing, so the leak stops for good.

Our Olympia Chimney Chimney Cap & Crown Process

1. 1
   Call and schedule. A live person answers, asks what you are seeing, and books a time. We do not give a price over the phone without looking, because guessing from a description is how surprises happen.
2. 2
   Level-2 camera inspection and documentation. Our technician arrives in uniform, sets up the camera, and inspects the flue, crown, and cap from top to bottom. You get photos you can see and a plain-English verdict. If it needs doing, we will tell you. If it does not, we will tell you that too.
3. 3
   Parts decision. For Olympia Chimney systems, we stock common cap sizes and crown repair materials from Olympia Chimney, Gelco, and Copperfield. If your cap is still under warranty and the failure is a defect, we note that for your records. We are an independent Olympia Chimney service provider, not authorized by the manufacturer, so we source quality OEM or equivalent parts depending on availability and what makes sense for the repair.
4. 4
   The repair. Most cap replacements and crown coatings we complete in two to four hours. Multi-flue caps or crown rebuilds may take longer. The technician works cleanly and explains what they are doing if you want to watch.
5. 5
   Test and photo record. We run a final camera pass to confirm the flue is clear and the new cap or crown is functioning, then save the images to your file.
6. 6
   Cleanup, payment, and guarantee. No surprises on the bill - the number on the estimate is the number on the invoice. Every job is covered by our 90-Day Done Right Promise in writing, no arguing.
