How Olympia Chimney Products Fail - and How We Fix Them

• Olympia Chimney Gelco-style single-flue caps in the 13×13 and 13×18 sizes - these are common on Kirkland homes built between 1995 and 2010, especially in the Norkirk and Highlands neighborhoods where masonry chimneys are standard. The 304 stainless mesh hoods eventually fatigue at the corner welds from freeze-thaw cycling; Kirkland’s 30+ annual freeze-thaw days accelerate this. We see the hood lift or separate while the base flange still looks fine. Our fix: assess whether the base is salvageable, source a matching Gelco replacement hood or a compatible aftermarket unit, and re-bed with new silicone sealant rated for 450°F continuous exposure.
• Olympia Chimney multi-flue caps in the Premier series - these cover two or three flues on a shared crown and rely on a continuous skirt and corner posts. The weak point is the galvanized steel post base, which pools condensation where it meets the crown. In Kirkland’s wet winters, we regularly find post-base rot while the stainless hood is still structurally sound. We replace the posts with solid stainless equivalents and re-seal the crown interface; if the crown itself is compromised, we quote crown repair or coating before re-installing the cap.
• Olympia Chimney standard concrete crowns on pre-fab chimney systems - these are poured thinner than site-built crowns, often 1.5 to 2 inches at the edge, and they lack the reinforcing mesh you’d find in a mason-built crown. The result is edge spalling and surface crazing that looks worse than it is - until water reaches the chase pan below. We use a bonded crown coating (HeatShield or equivalent) for crowns with intact structure but compromised surface, or we form and pour a new structural crown when the original has lost more than 25% of its mass.
• Olympia Chimney chase covers on factory-built chimneys - the galvanized chase covers shipped with many Olympia Chimney pre-fab systems carry a 20-year corrosion warranty, but we’ve found the factory cross-breaks and corner seams fail first in Kirkland’s marine climate, not the field. Water tracks along the seam and drips onto the chase framing. We replace with a stainless or copper chase cover, add a diverter strip at the high side, and verify the chase interior with a camera before closing up. The camera doesn’t lie, and neither does the invoice.
• Olympia Chimney custom copper caps on high-end installs - these develop a green patina that homeowners often mistake for failure. The real issue is the soldered seam at the peak, which can crack after 15-20 years of thermal cycling. We inspect with magnification, re-solder viable seams, or fabricate a replacement cap to match if the original is beyond repair. Copper caps are worth saving when possible; the patina is protective, not destructive.
