How Olympia Chimney Products Fail - and How We Fix Them

• Olympia Chimney stainless steel liner collars separating at the seam. The 316Ti flexible liner series, common in White Plains split-levels from the 1970s, develops separation where the collar meets the liner body after fifteen to twenty winters of thermal cycling. We see this most often in homes near the Gedney Farm neighborhood where the clay soil shifts slightly with freeze-thaw. Our fix: remove the damaged section, inspect the full liner run with our camera, and install a new Olympia-compatible collar with a mechanical-lock seal rather than relying on factory crimp alone.
• Olympia Chimney cap mesh corroding at the welds. The Gelco-built caps sold under the Olympia Chimney label use 18-8 stainless mesh that holds up well until the salt air from Long Island Sound gets involved - White Plains sits just far enough east that we see accelerated weld corrosion after eight to ten years. We replace with a heavier-gauge Famco or Copperfield cap, or source direct Olympia replacement if the homeowner prefers exact OEM.
• Olympia Chimney terra cotta flue tiles spalling from the inside. In the Olympia Pre-Engineered Masonry line, the flue tiles are high-grade terra cotta but still vulnerable to creosote-acid attack when homeowners burn unseasoned oak, which is what half of White Plains seems to stack against the garage. The tiles flake from the inside out, narrowing the flue and creating a fire hazard. We remove the damaged tiles and install a DuraFlex stainless liner, or rebuild with new terra cotta if the homeowner wants to maintain the original system.
• Olympia Chimney crown cracking at the drip edge. The pre-formed concrete crowns on Olympia’s factory-built chimney systems develop hairline cracks that widen every February when water gets in and freezes. We’ve found that Olympia’s specified crown mix is slightly more porous than comparable HeatShield formulations, which matters in White Plains where we average twenty-two freeze-thaw cycles per winter. We repair with HeatShield CrownCoat or pour a new reinforced crown, depending on crack depth and whether the steel reinforcement has rusted.
• Olympia Chimney flashing pulling away at the step. The step flashing on Olympia’s chimney-to-roof transitions uses a standard L-profile that works fine until the cedar shakes or asphalt shingles around it need replacement. Roofers in White Plains often reuse the old flashing to save time, and two seasons later water’s running down the rafters. We install new copper or lead step flashing, integrated properly with the roofing, and seal with a high-temp silicone that outlasts the asphalt-based sealants most crews default to.

Our Olympia Chimney Chimney Repair Process

1. 1
   Call and schedule. A live person answers, asks what you’re seeing, and books a Level-2 camera inspection. We don’t diagnose over the phone - chimneys lie, and we’ve learned not to trust them.
2. 2
   Inspection and documentation. Our technician arrives in uniform, runs a camera the full length of the flue, and photographs the exterior from roof level. You get the photos and a plain-English verdict: what’s wrong, what we recommend, what can wait, and what you don’t need.
3. 3
   Parts decision. For Olympia Chimney systems, we check availability on OEM parts versus quality aftermarket from DuraFlex, HeatShield, or Gelco. We’ll tell you which we’re proposing and why, including any warranty considerations. As an independent Olympia Chimney service provider, we have no obligation to push OEM, and no incentive to - we use what holds up.
4. 4
   Repair with upfront pricing. The number on the estimate is the number on the invoice. No surprises. Most repairs finish in a single visit; larger rebuilds may need a second day.
5. 5
   Post-repair test and documentation. We run the camera again, verify draft and clearances, and leave you with photos of the completed work and a written receipt noting the 90-Day Done Right Promise.
6. 6
   Cleanup and follow-up. We tarp the work area, haul debris, and check in within two weeks to confirm everything’s performing as expected. If it’s not, we come back. In writing, no arguing.

We’ve been answering the phone with a live person for over 42 years, and we plan to be here when your next repair comes due. The 90-Day Done Right Promise isn’t a slogan - it’s in writing, and we’ve honored it on jobs where we missed something the first time. It happens. We come back.

Our technicians are background-checked, uniformed, and trained on Olympia Chimney’s specific construction details, from the 316Ti liner series to the Pre-Engineered Masonry line. When Olympia parts are back-ordered or discontinued, we draw on our relationships with DuraFlex, HeatShield, Gelco, Famco, and Copperfield to keep your system safe and functional.
