How Olympia Chimney Products Fail - and How We Fix Them

Olympia Chimney builds solid stainless steel and copper products, but Long Beach weather has a way of finding the weak spots. Here’s what we actually see on roofs from West End Avenue down to the canals:

• Olympia stainless caps rusting at the mounting collar. The cap itself holds up fine, but the galvanized mounting collar on some Olympia stainless caps is the first thing to go. Salt air from the ocean works on that collar for years until it starts flaking and loosening. We replace it with a stainless collar and re-secure the cap so it doesn’t become a wind projectile in a nor’easter.
• Crown cracking on older Olympia flue systems. Olympia flue tiles and crowns were never designed for the freeze-thaw cycles Long Beach gets every winter. Water seeps into hairline cracks, freezes, expands, and by spring you have chunks of crown missing. We grind out the damaged material and rebuild with a proper Portland-based mix, not a quick patch that fails by next January.
• Improperly sized caps causing draft problems. We’ve pulled more than a few Olympia caps off Long Beach chimneys that were never sized for the actual flue opening. The result is smoky rooms and carbon monoxide alarms going off for no apparent reason. We measure the flue, confirm the Olympia model’s clearance specs, and mount the right size, sometimes a multi-flue cap if you’re running two appliances through one chase.
• Olympia multi-flue caps with failed spark arrestor mesh. The mesh on these caps does a good job for a few years, then starts separating from the frame. Once that happens, you’ve got ember risk and birds getting in. We replace the mesh or the entire cap assembly when it’s too far gone, and we always show you the camera footage of what we found before we touch anything.
• Water intrusion at the cap-to-crown seam. This one’s common on Olympia installations where the original installer didn’t seal properly. Water works its way under the cap, sits on the crown, and slowly eats through. We pull the cap, reseal with high-temperature silicone rated for coastal conditions, and reset it square.

Our Olympia Chimney Chimney Cap & Crown Process

   Call and talk to a live person. Not a call center. Wendell or one of his crew answers, asks what you’re seeing, and gives you an honest idea of what you might be dealing with.
2. 2
   We come out and look. On the roof, off the roof, inside the flue if needed. We bring a camera and show you exactly what’s going on. No mystery diagnoses.
3. 3
   Parts decision. If it’s a simple collar or mesh repair, we use quality aftermarket parts that match Olympia specs. If it’s a structural cap issue, we order the correct Olympia Chimney part or recommend a custom cap if OEM doesn’t fit your roofline.
4. 4
   The repair or replacement. We do the work, clean up the debris, and test the draft before we leave. You’ll know it’s right because smoke goes up, not sideways.
5. 5
   The 90-Day Done Right Promise. Every Olympia Chimney cap and crown job gets it in writing. If something’s off, one call brings us back at no charge.

What Olympia Chimney Chimney Cap & Crown Costs in Long Beach

Here’s the straight answer. You’re not going to get a price from us sight unseen, because half the time the job is smaller than the homeowner thinks and we’re not going to charge you for work that isn’t needed.

What moves the price is chimney height, roof pitch, access, and whether we’re matching an existing Olympic Stainless finish or going custom. We give you the number before a single tool comes off the truck. Call (631) 378-3317 for a free estimate, and $40 off any repair over $200.
