How Olympia Chimney Products Fail - and How We Fix Them

Olympia Chimney builds solid stainless and galvanized systems, but after years of Annapolis humidity, salt air, and freeze-thaw cycles, certain parts fail in predictable ways. Here’s what we see on homes from Eastport to Hillsmere:

• Olympia Deluxe Series caps lose their screen first. The mesh spark arrestor is spot-welded to the lid, and after 6-9 years of coastal moisture, those welds corrode. The screen sags or detaches entirely, which is why we get calls in late summer about birds nesting in the flue. Fix: replace with a new Olympia cap or a quality stainless aftermarket unit with a heavier gauge mesh.
• Galvanized Olympia caps rust at the rivets. The base ring on older Olympia galvanized caps traps salt-laden moisture at the rivet points. Annapolis homes within a mile of the water see this at year 5 or 6. The rust doesn’t stay on the cap; it drips down and stains the crown. Fix: replace the cap with stainless and reseal the crown.
• Crowns crack from rust-jacking on Olympia multi-flue installations. When two flues share one crown and one cap, the expansion of a rusting cap base against the crown edge starts hairline cracks at the corners. We see this on Olympia multi-flue caps in older Annapolis colonials. Fix: remove, inspect, repair the crown with a flexible crown coat, and reinstall with isolation flashing.
• Olympia chase covers rot at the seams. Homes with prefab fireplaces use Olympia chase pans, and the factory seams are the first point of failure. Water sits in the seam, rust starts, and before long the pan leaks into the chase. We see it in Annapolis neighborhoods where chimneys catch full afternoon sun and then cool quickly at night. Fix: replace the chase pan with a one-piece stainless unit or coat the existing pan if it’s caught early.
• Improper aftermarket caps on Olympia flues create draft issues. If a prior contractor sized a universal cap wrong, you’ll get smoke rollout on startup or a lazy draft. Olympia flues have specific termination dimensions. We measure and match, not guess.

Our Olympia Chimney Chimney Cap & Crown Process

Every Olympia Chimney cap and crown job in Annapolis follows the same sequence. No shortcuts, no surprises.

1. 1
   Call and schedule. A live person answers, 24/7. You tell us what you’re seeing. We book the visit.
2. 2
   On-site inspection. We camera-scan the flue interior (NFPA 211 Level 2 standard) and check the cap, crown, chase, and flashing from the roof. Photos are taken and saved to your job file.
3. 3
   Written diagnosis. You see the photos. We explain what’s failed, what’s still sound, and what can wait. If an Olympia part is repairable, we tell you. If replacement is the honest call, we tell you that too.
4. 4
   Parts decision. We quote OEM Olympia parts and quality aftermarket options where they make sense. You pick based on price, warranty, and lead time. We never install a part that doesn’t match the flue dimensions.
5. 5
   Repair or replacement. The work happens same day in most cases. Crown coating gets two passes where needed. Caps get sealed with high-temp silicone at the flue joint.
6. 6
   Photo record and written warranty. You leave with before-and-after photos and a written scope in hand. Clause 4 of the Haven Standard requires it, and we’ve done it on every job since 2009.
