How Olympia Chimney Products Fail - and How We Fix Them

• Galvanized steel caps in the 3000 Series rust through at the seams. Severna Park’s combination of Chesapeake Bay humidity and freeze-thaw cycles accelerates corrosion at the factory-welded corners, typically within 8-12 years. We replace with a stainless Olympia Chimney equivalent or a Gelco cap with a lifetime warranty, matched to your flue count.
• Multi-flue caps on the 5000 Series pull away from the crown when the original anchor bolts are undersized. The 5000 Series ships with 1/4-inch lag bolts into old, brittle crown concrete; we see this failure pattern especially in 1980s-era homes off Benfield Boulevard. We drill and epoxy 3/8-inch stainless anchors into sound substrate, or rebuild the crown section if the concrete is too far gone.
• Crown wash on the 2000 Series cracks from thermal shock. Olympia Chimney’s thin polymer-modified crown coating works until it doesn’t, usually after a decade of Maryland temperature swings from 20°F to 90°F in the same week. We grind back to sound concrete and apply a HeatShield CrownCoat or pour a new 4-inch reinforced crown with proper slope and overhang.
• Chimney cap mesh on the 1000 Series clogs with creosote in heavy-use fireplaces. The 5/8-inch mesh is correct for spark arresting but traps glazed creosote in homes along the B&A Trail corridor where owners burn oak and hickory all winter. We clean the flue first, then install a cap with 3/4-inch mesh or a hinged top for annual access, depending on burn habits.
• Custom copper caps oxidize unevenly and develop pinhole leaks at the solder joints. Olympia Chimney’s copper line is beautiful but the lead-free solder can cold-flow in our coastal climate. We repair with silver-bearing solder or source a replacement from Copperfield with marine-grade construction.

Our Olympia Chimney Chimney Cap & Crown Process

1. 1
   Call and schedule. A live person answers at (443) 464-2560, any hour. We book your Level-2 inspection, usually within a week in shoulder season, sooner if water is actively entering.
2. 2
   Camera inspection and documentation. Our technician runs a camera up the flue and photographs the crown, cap, and flue interior. You see the images on a tablet and get a plain-English verdict: what’s wrong, what it risks, and what it costs.
3. 3
   Parts decision. If your Olympia Chimney cap is under warranty, we note that and explain your options. Often an aftermarket Gelco or Famco cap outperforms the OEM at similar cost. We order what fits, not what pads our margin.
4. 4
   The repair. Background-checked, uniformed techs complete most cap replacements and crown coatings in one visit. Crown rebuilds may need a return trip for proper cure time.
5. 5
   Testing and photos. We water-test crown repairs with a controlled spray, verify cap fit and draft, and leave you with after photos plus the written inspection report.
6. 6
   The guarantee. Every job is covered by our 90-Day Done Right Promise - in writing, no arguing. If it’s not right, we come back.

Our techs know Olympia Chimney products specifically, but we’re not locked to one brand. When a DuraFlex liner or HeatShield resurfacing makes more sense than an Olympia part, we say so. Russell Haines has walked roofs in Severna Park for two decades, from the older wood-burners near the B&A Trail to the waterfront homes on the Severn River. He’ll tell you straight: “If the chimney is not safe to use, I will say so. If it is, I will say that too.”

Photos you can see. A plain-English verdict. A square deal. That’s the job.
