How Olympia Chimney Products Fail - and How We Fix Them

• Olympia Chimney Gelco series caps: The mesh screening on Gelco units in Huntington tends to clog with fine creosote dust faster than heavier-gauge competitors, especially in homes burning seasoned hardwood less frequently. We see this every March after a heavy burning season. Our fix: pull the cap, assess whether the mesh is salvageable with professional cleaning or if replacement with a Gelco-compatible unit with wider stainless weave makes more sense for your burn pattern.
• Olympia Chimney standard galvanized caps: The factory finish holds up poorly within three miles of Huntington’s northern shoreline where salt air accelerates corrosion at the seams. We’ve replaced dozens where the galvanized shell is intact but the corner welds have rusted through. We upgrade these to 304 stainless or copper where budget allows, and we never reinstall a cap without checking the crown beneath it for spalling.
• Olympia Chimney multi-flue caps: The cross-bracing on older Olympia multi-flue models can sag when snow load exceeds 25 pounds per square foot, which happens most winters in Huntington. A sagging cap traps moisture against the crown and accelerates freeze-thaw damage. We reinforce or replace the bracing with heavier-gauge stock, and we always verify the crown pitch drains water away from the flue openings.
• Olympia Chimney crown wash systems: The factory crown coating on some Olympia Chimney pre-fab packages is a thin Portland-based slurry that cracks within 8-12 years in our freeze-thaw climate. We’ve peeled these off in Dix Hills and Cold Spring Harbor to find the structural crown underneath intact but unprotected. Our repair: remove the failed wash, apply a proper elastomeric crown coating rated for 300% elongation, or pour a new structural crown if the substrate is too far gone.
• Olympia Chimney chase cover retrofits: When homeowners replace a rusted Olympia Chimney chase cover with a standard cap, the transition flashing is often omitted or undersized. We’ve found this on four jobs in Huntington Station where water was running behind the new cap and rotting the chase top. We fabricate custom transition flashing from 26-gauge stainless or order Olympia-compatible chase cover assemblies when the chase structure warrants it.
