How Olympia Chimney Products Fail - and How We Fix Them

• Olympia Chimney 304 stainless single-flue caps: The mesh on these caps is welded at tighter spacing than most brands, which traps Bethlehem’s cottonwood seed fluff and maple helicopter samaras every May and June. We see three or four of these clogged solid each spring in the West Bethlehem neighborhoods near Monocacy Creek. The fix isn’t a bigger cap; it’s cleaning the mesh properly and, if the homeowner wants, swapping to a slightly coarser aftermarket mesh that still keeps animals out but sheds debris.
• Olympia Chimney multi-flue caps with hip-lid design: The lid overhang on the multi-flue line is shallower than Gelco’s comparable model, so driving rain from the northeast - common during Bethlehem’s March and November storms - can sheet under the lid and wet the flue tops. We fix this by either adding a drip-edge extension or, when the cap is already aged, replacing with a deeper-lid aftermarket multi-flue cap that fits the Olympia Chimney base rails.
• Olympia Chimney galvanized caps in historic Hill-to-Hill homes: These were common on 1980s and 1990s installs and they’re now well past their service life. The galvanized coating fails from the inside out where Bethlehem’s freeze-thaw cycles let moisture sit in the seams. We replace these with 304 or 316 stainless, never another galvanized unit, and we document the flue condition underneath because these caps usually leaked long before the owner noticed.
• Olympia Chimney crown wash on pre-2000 installs: Olympia Chimney’s older crown coating was a cement-based slurry that shrinks in Bethlehem’s dry winter air and cracks by February. We’ve peeled off crowns that looked intact from the ground but were channeling water straight to the flue liner. Our repair is a proper crown pour or, when the substrate is sound, a HeatShield CrownCoat application that flexes with temperature swings.
• Olympia Chimney chase covers on manufactured home and condo setups: The factory corner folds on these chase covers fatigue at exactly the spot where Bethlehem’s wind loads concentrate stress. We’ve replaced dozens where the corner had rusted through but the center looked fine. We fabricate replacement corners in heavier-gauge stainless or source a one-piece welded chase cover from Copperfield when the dimensions allow.

Our Olympia Chimney Chimney Cap & Crown Process

1. 1
   Call and schedule. A live person answers, 24 hours a day. We ask about the chimney age, the Olympia Chimney product if you know it, and what you’re seeing - water, rust, pieces on the ground, animal noise.
2. 2
   Level-2 camera inspection. Our tech arrives in uniform, background-checked, and runs a camera from the firebox to the flue top. You get photos and a plain-English verdict: cap, crown, both, or neither.
3. 3
   Parts decision. If your Olympia Chimney cap is under ten years old and the failure is isolated, we may source an OEM replacement. More often, we recommend a quality aftermarket cap from Gelco or Famco that fits the Olympia Chimney flue profile and outperforms the original in Bethlehem’s climate. We explain the trade-off and the price difference; you decide.
4. 4
   The repair. Most cap replacements and crown coatings take two to four hours. Crown rebuilds take longer. We protect your roof and landscaping, work clean, and run a final camera pass to confirm the flue is unobstructed.
5. 5
   Documentation and guarantee. You get photos of the finished work, an invoice matching the upfront estimate exactly, and our 90-Day Done Right Promise in writing. If it’s not right, we make it right. No paperwork, no arguing.
6. 6
   Cleanup and close. We haul away the old cap or crown debris. You pay the number we quoted. We’ll be there when we say.

Why Bethlehem Homeowners Call Hearthstone Chimney Co. for Olympia Chimney Work

We’ve been answering the phone with a live person for over 42 years, and we’ve learned that Bethlehem homeowners - especially the ones who’ve owned their house long enough to replace a roof and a furnace - don’t want a sales pitch. They want someone who knows the difference between an Olympia Chimney 304 mesh cap and a Gelco equivalent, who won’t install a galvanized cap on a stainless flue just because it’s in the truck, and who documents every claim with a photo they can see.

Our techs carry DuraFlex, HeatShield, Gelco, Famco, and Copperfield materials alongside Olympia Chimney-compatible parts, so we’re not forcing a brand match when a better solution exists. The 90-Day Done Right Promise is in writing. Background-checked, uniformed technicians. Most jobs done in one visit. A square deal: no surprises on the bill.
