How Olympia Chimney Products Fail - and How We Fix Them

• Olympia Chimney Gelco-style multi-flue caps: The 304-grade stainless mesh on earlier Gelco-compatible Olympia caps can fatigue at the welded corners after seven to ten Queens winters, especially in salt-air zones like Broad Channel and the Rockaways. The mesh separates from the frame, letting squirrels and rain straight into the flue. We replace with a heavier-gauge Olympia-compatible cap or a true Gelco unit, matched to your flue count and chimney profile.
• Olympia Chimney single-flue caps with internal leg sets: The tension-fit legs on the SC-series caps loosen as the clay flue tile expands and contracts through freeze-thaw cycles common in Queens’ older two-families. The cap tilts, collects water, and eventually blows off in a March nor’easter. We diagnose the flue tile condition first. If the tile is sound, we install a new cap with external mounting brackets; if the tile is spalled, we rebuild the top course before capping.
• Olympia Chimney crown wash failures on masonry chimneys: Olympia’s poured-concrete crown specifications assume a proper overhang and drip edge, which many Queens contractors skipped in the 1960s through 1980s. Water runs behind the crown, freezes, and pops the concrete from the brick below. We strip the failed crown, form and pour a new sloped crown with a 2-inch overhang minimum, or apply a troweled crown coat when the substrate is still structurally sound.
• Olympia Chimney flue collar separation: On the older OC-series round flue adapters, the galvanized collar can rust through where it meets the cap base, especially if the previous installer used non-stainless fasteners. We see this regularly in Forest Hills gardens where mature tree cover keeps the chimney damp year-round. We replace the collar assembly with stainless hardware and a proper storm collar seal.
• Olympia Chimney chase cover corrosion on prefab chimneys: The factory chase covers on Olympia-compatible prefab units were often 26-gauge galvanized steel, which rusts through at the corners in fifteen to twenty years. We fabricate and install a new stainless steel or copper chase cover with cross-breaks to prevent ponding, properly counter-flashed to the siding.

Our Olympia Chimney Chimney Cap & Crown Process

1. 1
   Call and schedule. A live person answers, confirms your Olympia Chimney model if you know it, and books a Level-2 camera inspection. We don’t guess from the driveway.
2. 2
   Inspection and documentation. Our technician arrives in uniform, runs a camera up the flue, and photographs the cap, crown, and flue top from the roof. You see the footage. We explain what’s failed, what’s sound, and what’s borderline.
3. 3
   Parts decision. If your cap is a current Olympia Chimney SKU, we quote OEM. If the line is discontinued, we source a quality aftermarket equivalent from Gelco, Famco, or Copperfield that matches the spec without voiding any remaining liner warranty. You choose.
4. 4
   Repair or replacement. Most cap swaps and crown coats are done that visit. Crown rebuilds may need a return trip if weather turns, but we tell you that upfront.
5. 5
   Post-work test and photo record. We run the camera again to confirm clear flue passage, verify cap clearance and draft, and leave you with dated photos and a written invoice.
6. 6
   The 90-Day Done Right Promise. If it’s wrong, we’ll say so. If we fix it, it stays fixed. In writing, no arguing.
