How Olympia Chimney Products Fail - and How We Fix Them

• Olympia Chimney 316Ti stainless caps on Beechmont colonials: The 316Ti series holds up well against salt air from Long Island Sound, but the mesh spark arrestor on older installs (roughly 2008-2015) corrodes from the inside out where creosote collects. Homeowners smell a metallic draft or see rust streaks on the brick. We pull the cap, inspect the mesh with a borescope, and either weld-patch the arrestor or source a direct-fit replacement - never forcing a generic cap onto an Olympia Chimney flue collar that was machined to tight tolerances.
• Olympia Chimney multi-flue caps in Wykagyl split-levels: The multi-flue cap line with integrated damper handles sees handle-seizure after fifteen to twenty years of freeze-thaw cycling. New Rochelle’s coastal winter swings - twenty degrees one day, fifty the next - let moisture into the handle housing, where it expands and jams the linkage. We disassemble the damper mechanism, replace the handle and pivot hardware with Olympia Chimney-compatible stainless components, and reseal the housing with high-temp silicone rated to 600°F.
• Olympia Chimney poured-concrete crowns on 1920s Tudors: The original crown was never meant to carry a modern stainless liner, and the thermal expansion differential cracks the crown radially. Olympia Chimney’s flexible liner systems accommodate this movement, but the crown itself needs either a bonded elastomeric coating (HeatShield CrownCoat or equivalent) or a formed pour with expansion joints. We camera the flue first to confirm the liner is still floating freely before we touch the crown.
• Olympia Chimney Gelco-style chase covers in condo conversions: Some New Rochelle condo developers used Olympia Chimney chase covers with factory-sealed corners that fail at the drip edge after a decade. Water runs behind the siding and rots the chase framing. We remove the cover, assess the framing damage honestly, and install a replacement with cross-breaks and drip edges that extend a full two inches past the chase wall - a detail Olympia Chimney’s standard cover lacks.
• Olympia Chimney wind-driven rain intrusion on waterfront homes: The standard Olympia Chimney cap with a four-inch overhang sheds normal rain, but nor’easters coming off Long Island Sound drive water sideways into the flue. We see this on Shore Road and Neptune Drive properties. Our fix is a custom-fabricated cap with a six-inch skirt and internal baffle, or a multi-flue cap with a taller lid profile - both fabricated from the same 316Ti stock Olympia Chimney specifies, so the galvanic match stays correct.

Our Olympia Chimney Chimney Cap & Crown Process

1. 1
   Call and schedule. A live person answers at (516) 927-2678. We book a window that works for you - no app, no callback queue.
2. 2
   Level-2 camera inspection. Our technician arrives in uniform, runs a camera the full length of the flue, and photographs the cap, crown, and top tile condition. You see the images on a tablet before we write the estimate.
3. 3
   Parts decision - OEM or quality aftermarket. For current Olympia Chimney models, we source factory-spec caps and hardware. For discontinued lines, we fabricate from 316Ti stainless or match with Gelco or Famco components that maintain the same thermal and galvanic properties. We explain the trade-off and let you choose.
4. 4
   The repair, documented. We complete most cap and crown work in one visit. Crown repairs get a bonded elastomeric coat or a formed pour with expansion joints. Cap installs get a smoke-pencil draft test and a water-mist test to confirm no leaks at the collar.
5. 5
   Written guarantee, no arguing. Every job carries our 90-Day Done Right Promise. If the cap leaks or the crown cracks through, we return. The paperwork fits on one page.
6. 6
   Cleanup and final walkthrough. We haul away the old material, run the camera one more time if the flue was opened, and leave you with photos, the estimate copy, and the guarantee.

What Olympia Chimney Chimney Cap & Crown Costs in New Rochelle

Height matters in New Rochelle - a three-story Colonial on North Avenue costs more than a ranch in Bonnie Crest because we bring scaffolding, not just a ladder. We tell you this before we start. Every estimate is free, and the number we give is the number on the invoice. Call (516) 927-2678 for yours.
