How Olympia Chimney Products Fail - and How We Fix Them

• Olympia Chimney 304 stainless single-flue caps: The mesh screen on these caps is spot-welded at stress points that fatigue after 8-12 winters in Woburn’s freeze-thaw cycle. We’ve pulled dozens off Montvale Avenue homes where the mesh has separated from the frame, letting squirrels nest directly in the flue. We replace with either an OEM Olympia cap or a Gelco equivalent with a continuous seam weld - whichever gives you better longevity for your specific exposure.
• Olympia Chimney multi-flue caps (galvanized and stainless): The galvanized models begin rusting at the corners where standing water collects, usually year six or seven. In Woburn, where roof pitches shed heavy snow loads onto the chimney shoulder, this accelerates. We upgrade to 304 or 316 stainless Olympia multi-flue caps, or source a Copperfield custom fit when the flue spacing is non-standard.
• Olympia Chimney wind-directional caps: The rotating collar seizes after prolonged exposure to coastal moisture that reaches inland during northeast storms. Once frozen, the cap either spins constantly (no draft control) or not at all (backdraft into the house). We disassemble, clean the bearing race, and if the collar is scored, replace with a new Olympia directional cap or a Famco stationary cap with built-in draft induction if the homeowner prefers less moving parts.
• Olympia Chimney crown wash on masonry chimneys: The factory crown coating is a Portland-based mix that shrinks away from the flue tile after repeated thermal cycling. We’ve seen this on colonial-era homes near Woburn Center where the original Olympia liner was retrofitted - the crown develops hairline cracks that channel water straight to the smoke chamber. We grind back to sound concrete, apply a HeatShield crown seal, and reset the flue tile gap with proper expansion joint material.
• Olympia Chimney chase covers on factory-built chimneys: The stamped steel covers on older Olympia factory-built systems sag in the center, creating a pond that rusts through from the inside out. Homeowners often don’t notice until water stains the ceiling below. We measure on-site and fabricate a replacement from 24-gauge stainless or copper, with cross-breaks welded in to shed water, not collect it.
