How Olympia Chimney Products Fail - and How We Fix Them

• Olympia Chimney Gelco-style single-flue caps in the 8″-13″ range - the galvanized models sold through many Wakefield-area suppliers in the 2015-2020 window - develop seam separation at the lid-to-screen joint after 4-6 winters of freeze-thaw cycling off Lake Quannapowitt. The cap looks intact from the ground, but the gap pulls moisture down the flue tile. We replace with a stainless equivalent or fabricate a custom cap with a welded, not crimped, lid joint.
• Olympia Chimney multi-flue caps on colonial-era chimneys near Lake Quannapowitt - the 304 stainless units with the standard 10″ overhang - often undershoot the actual crown footprint by 2-4 inches because the original masonry was built before modern sizing standards. Water runs off the cap lip and soaks the crown edge. We measure the full crown, including any historical overbuild, and spec a cap with proper drip-edge extension or recommend crown extension as part of the same scope.
• Olympia Chimney wind-directional caps (the rotating models) - common in Wakefield’s 1980s split-levels near North Avenue - seize when the bronze bushing oxidizes after salt-air exposure from winter road treatment. The cap stops rotating, creating a downdraft path instead of blocking it. We pull the assembly, document the bushing condition with camera footage from the roof, and either rebuild with a marine-grade stainless bushing or swap to a stationary high-wind cap if the flue draft pattern supports it.
• Olympia Chimney crown coating failures on poured-concrete crowns - the factory-applied elastomeric coat, typically rated 10 years, degrades faster on south-facing exposures in Wakefield where summer UV hits hard and winter freeze follows. We see alligatoring at year 6-7, not year 10. Our fix is full mechanical removal, not top-coating over failure, then reapplication with a modified urethane system rated for New England thermal shock.
• Olympia Chimney chase cover replacements on prefab fireplaces - the stamped-steel covers with the factory cross-break - pond water at the low point when the cross-break flattens from snow load or foot traffic during gutter cleaning. The rust starts inside the chase, invisible until the framing is wet. We spec a heavier-gauge replacement with a welded dihedral ridge, not a stamped break, and include a photo of the chase interior before and after.

Our Olympia Chimney Chimney Cap & Crown Process

1. 1
   Call and schedule. A live person answers, 24/7. We book a Level 2 inspection with roof access, assign a named technician, and text you when they’re en route.
2. 2
   Camera inspection first. We run the camera down the flue before touching the cap or crown. Clause 4 of the Haven Standard requires a documented photo record on every job - we need to know if the flue liner damage caused the crown problem, or the crown problem caused the liner damage.
3. 3
   Measure and spec. We record exact flue dimensions, crown slope, and overhang. For Olympia Chimney products, we check whether OEM replacement is available or whether a quality aftermarket unit from our Haven buying network (DuraFlex, HeatShield, Gelco, Famco, Copperfield) offers better fit or longer warranty.
4. 4
   Written price, scope, and warranty delivered. You get the full document before anyone picks up a tool. No exceptions. This is Haven Standard Clause 1: “Have it in writing.”
5. 5
   Execution and documentation. The tech installs or repairs, pressure-tests where applicable, and photographs every critical joint and fastener. The photo record uploads to your job file before the truck leaves.
6. 6
   Cleanup and 365-Day Done Right Promise. We haul away the old cap or crown debris. If anything fails within a year, we make it right. Here’s what the camera found. Here’s what it costs to fix it. Everything else can wait.

Why Wakefield Homeowners Call Level Two Chimney Wakefield for Olympia Chimney Work

We’ve worked chimneys throughout Wakefield since 2009, including older colonials near Lake Quannapowitt where clay liner damage hides behind a clean exterior. Corrine Halstead and our crew know the difference between an Olympia Chimney cap that fits and one that actually protects - and we document the distinction with photos you can see. Our 365-Day Done Right Promise covers every cap and crown job. Our technicians are background-checked, uniformed, and licensed, with license information on every page. We also stock and service DuraFlex, HeatShield, and Gelco systems, so if your Olympia Chimney component is discontinued or a different brand offers a better solution for your flue, we can source it honestly through our Haven buying network.
