How Olympia Chimney Products Fail - and How We Fix Them

• Olympia stainless steel liners: seam separation at the elbow. Olympia’s flue liners are common in New York townhouses and prewar apartment conversions, and the failure we see most is a seam pulling open at the first offset above the firebox. The cause is usually differential expansion - New York winters cycle a flue from 20°F at the crown to 600°F mid-burn, and welded seams work-harden over a decade. Our fix: a sectioned elbow replacement with a welded, not riveted, joint. We prefer DuraFlex and Olympia OEM parts here depending on what the liner diameter is.
• Olympia chimney caps: mesh corrosion and bird entry at the rain band. The mesh on Olympia’s cap screens is galvanized, and after seven or eight New York winters the zinc layer is gone and the steel starts to pit. We find nests inside because the frame is still sound, so the cap looks fine from the ground. Our fix varies: we’ll replace the mesh and re-tack the rain band where the frame measures true, or we’ll swap the cap to a Copperfield or Famco unit when the frame is warped past a flat seat.
• Olympia terra cotta flue tiles: spalling at the top two courses. Olympia’s terra cotta liners are clay, and the top courses near the crown are the ones that spall - freeze-thaw cycling lifts the surface right off. The symptom is small terra cotta chips in the fireplace after a windy rain, and it reads like a masonry problem when the real cause is a bad crown letting water in. Our fix: remove the spalled courses, reset with a refractory mortar, and waterproof the crown. If the damage runs deeper than two courses, we’ll talk about a liner instead of a patch.
• Olympia chase covers: rust-through at the screw points. On prefab and sided chases in Staten Island split-levels and outer-borough builds from the 1990s and 2000s, Olympia’s metal chase covers rust at the screw points and the corners first. The tell is water stains on the ceiling joists around the chase, or rust streaks down the siding. Our fix: remove the old cover, fabricate a new one in stainless with a hemmed edge, and replace the screws with sealed washers. This is a few hundred dollars and we can usually do it same-day.
• Olympia dampers: cable failure and rust at the pivot. The pivot hardware on Olympia throat dampers rusts in humid New York basements, and the cable snaps when the homeowner forces the handle. This is a common summer finding after a humid season. Our fix: replace the damper plate and cable assembly, then set the travel so the hinge isn’t working against itself. We’ll re-bed the frame in the smoke chamber if it’s loose, which it often is after two decades of heat cycling.

Our Olympia Chimney Chimney Repair Process

1. 1
   You call, we answer. A live person takes the call, asks what you’re seeing, and schedules a visit. Corrine Halstead or a named tech is assigned to the job, and you get a text when they’re on the way.
2. 2
   Camera scan first. We run a camera down the flue and document everything, NFPA 211 Level 2. This is Clause 4 of the Haven Standard, the same documentation practice we’ve run since 2009. You’ll see the photos we see.
3. 3
   Written price and scope. Before any tools come out, you get a written price, a written scope, and a written warranty. No verbal estimate, no “we’ll figure it out while we work.” If the camera shows the repair can wait, we say so and hand you the photo record.
4. 4
   The repair. We use Olympia OEM parts where the warranty or fit requires it, and quality aftermarket - DuraFlex liners, HeatShield resurfacing, Gelco caps - where it’s the better call. You’ll know which and why before we start.
5. 5
   Test and document. After the repair, we run the camera again, run a draft test if the liner was involved, and photograph the finished work. You get a photo record of before and after. Every job.
6. 6
   Done right, for a year. Every job carries the 365-Day Done Right Promise. If it’s not done right, we make it right. That’s stamped on every job under the Haven Standard.
