How Olympia Chimney Products Fail - and How We Fix Them

Olympia makes a solid product line, but after twenty-plus years looking down Rockland County flues, we know exactly where they wear. Here’s what we actually see:

• Olympia stainless caps on the V Series flue: The cap screening gets packed with creosote glaze after two or three heavy burning seasons, especially in older Nyack colonials with oversized flues. We don’t just scrape it; we remove the cap, run the brush, and make sure the screen spacing matches what your appliance actually drafts. Wrong screen gauge chokes the flue faster than a closed damper.
• Cast crowns from the Olympia masonry line: Rockland County freeze-thaw cycles split these within five to eight years. Hairline cracks let water into the brickwork below, and by the time you see a stain on the ceiling the crown has been failing for a while. We rebuild the crown with a proper drip edge and expansion joint, not just a smear of sealant.
• Multi-flue cap fitment on older Olympia installations: A lot of Rockland County homes built in the 1980s have Olympia terra cotta flues that were slightly oversize from the factory. Stock multi-flue caps sit loose, rattle in wind, and let sideways rain straight into the flue. We measure each flue opening and order the cap that actually fits, not the one that’s cheapest to stock.
• Rusted cap bases on Olympia single-flue caps: The cap itself holds up fine, but the base ring corrodes at the weld points after years of acid condensation. We replace the base as a separate part when the cap is still serviceable, which saves you about $150 over a full cap replacement.
• Lost or damaged spark arrestor screens: In Stony Point and Haverstraw, we get calls every spring from homeowners whose Olympia screens warped from repeated wet-downs and heat cycles. A missing screen lets embers reach the roof. We replace screens and reinforce the frame so it doesn’t sag into the flue opening.

Our Olympia Chimney Chimney Cap & Crown Process

Here’s how a job goes from your first call to the final check, and nothing on this list changes because the customer is new or because we’re busy.

1. 1
   You call (845) 599-0832. A live person answers, writes down what you’re seeing, and gives you a real arrival window. No call center, no “we’ll be there sometime Tuesday.”
2. 2
   We inspect the cap and crown in place. Wendell or one of his crew goes up, checks the seal, the flashing, the crown joints, and the screen. We take photos. You see them, not just hear about them.
3. 3
   We tell you what’s actually needed. If the cap just needs a new screen, that’s the quote. If the crown needs a rebuild, you’ll see the crack in the photo and understand why. If it doesn’t need doing, we’ll tell you that too.
4. 4
   Parts decision: OEM Olympia vs quality aftermarket. For caps, we use genuine Olympia parts when they’re available and priced fairly. For base rings and screens, we sometimes use Copperfield or Famco equivalents that fit the same dimensions and cost less. We’ll tell you the trade-off before ordering anything.
5. 5
   The repair or install. Crowns get a proper concrete mix with expansion joints. Caps get sealed, leveled, and secured. Every fastener is stainless.
6. 6
   Test and guarantee. We run the flue to check draft, then walk you through the photos and the invoice. Every Olympia job carries the 90-Day Done Right Promise in writing: if something’s not right, one call brings us back.
