How Olympia Chimney Products Fail - and How We Fix Them

• Stainless liner collar separation in Olympia Chimney 316Ti flex liners. The 316Ti series handles Bethlehem’s freeze-thaw cycles well overall, but we’ve found the upper collar joint can work loose after seven to ten years, especially on taller colonial stacks common up around the historic Hill-to-Hill district. We reseat with an OEM-compatible compression band and seal with high-temp silicone rated to 2000°F, not the hardware-store variety that cracks by February.
• Spalling and mortar degradation in Olympia Chimney’s masonry-compatible systems. Olympia Chimney’s masonry interface components are solid, but Bethlehem’s clay-rich soil and the wet springs we get along Monocacy Creek wick moisture into brick that was never sealed properly. We repoint with Type N mortar matched to the existing joint profile, then apply a vapor-permeable siloxane waterproofing that lets the wall breathe without trapping water inside.
• Corrugated flex liner fatigue in the Olympia Chimney 304 series. The 304-grade flex is cost-effective for gas inserts, but we’ve replaced enough of them in Bethlehem’s older homes to know the corrugations flatten at offset transitions after heavy use. We upgrade to 316Ti or 316L when the application calls for it, and we always measure the flue precisely rather than forcing an oversized flex that will crease.
• Chimney cap and crown failure on Olympia Chimney top-mount assemblies. The standard Olympia Chimney cap is galvanized and functional, but Bethlehem’s sun exposure in summer and ice load in winter will outlast the factory finish in about a decade. We install Gelco or Copperfield stainless caps with proper drip edges and crown overhangs, sized to the flue rather than the generic big-box dimensions that channel water inward.
• Flashing separation at the roofline on Olympia Chimney through-wall installations. This isn’t an Olympia Chimney defect per se, but their installation specs assume a standard roof pitch that many Bethlehem bungalows and Cape Cods don’t have. We fabricate custom step flashing from 26-gauge galvanized or copper, integrate it with the existing roof system, and seal with a polyurethane-modified sealant that stays flexible at zero degrees.

Our Olympia Chimney Chimney Repair Process

1. 1
   Call and schedule. A live person answers, 24 hours a day. We book a window that works for you, not a four-hour guessing game.
2. 2
   Level-2 camera inspection. Our technician runs a camera from top to bottom, captures photos you can see on the spot, and delivers a plain-English verdict. No jargon, no scare tactics.
3. 3
   Parts decision. If your repair needs a liner section, collar, or cap, we source OEM-compatible Olympia Chimney components or professional-grade equivalents from DuraFlex, HeatShield, or Gelco, depending on availability and what makes sense for your system. We explain the trade-off and let you choose.
4. 4
   The repair. Our background-checked, uniformed technician completes most jobs in a single visit. We protect your floors, work clean, and don’t leave until the flue draws properly and the structure is sound.
5. 5
   Testing and documentation. We run a final camera pass, verify draft and clearance, and give you the photo report and written 90-Day Done Right Promise before we pack up.
6. 6
   Follow-through. If something isn’t right, we come back. In writing, no arguing. That’s the Keystone Standard.
