How Olympia Chimney Products Fail - and How We Fix Them

• Olympia Chimney 316Ti flexible liner series: The titanium-stabilized wall resists acid well, but we’ve found the collar connection at the thimble point loosens after seven to ten years of Roanoke’s freeze-thaw cycling - especially in homes south of the river where clay soil shifts. We reseat with OEM collar hardware and add a stainless storm collar when the original seal has hardened past recovery.
• Olympia Chimney Gelco-compatible caps: These mate well with Gelco bases, but the mesh on earlier production runs can sag from the weight of accumulated ice in Roanoke’s heavier mountain snows. We don’t just knock the dent out - we assess whether the mesh gauge is the original 18-ounce or the updated 24-ounce, then source the correct replacement or reinforce the frame.
• Olympia Chimney square clay flue systems: The shoulder joint where the flue meets the smoke chamber is a known stress concentrator. In Roanoke’s older Grandin and Wasena neighborhoods, we’ve seen this joint open from decades of thermal shock combined with lime mortar that was never meant to flex. We repoint with HeatShield-compatible refractory mortar, not Portland, because the expansion coefficients need to match.
• Olympia Chimney DuraFlex crossover installations: When a previous installer used DuraFlex liner with Olympia Chimney termination components, the diameter tolerances can leave a gap at the slip joint. Moisture wicks in, freezes, and spalls the surrounding brick. We measure with a bore gauge, then either sleeve with the correct Olympia adapter or fabricate a transition - whichever preserves the existing liner warranty.
• Olympia Chimney waterproofing failures: The factory silicone treatment on some pre-2015 chimney crowns degrades faster in southwest Virginia’s UV exposure and acid rain. We see this on south-facing stacks in Roanoke County especially. We strip the failed coating, repair crown cracks with CrownSeal or similar professional-grade compound, and reseal with a vapor-permeable treatment that lets the masonry breathe.

Our Olympia Chimney Chimney Repair Process

1. 1
   Call and schedule. A live person answers, day or night. We ask what you’re seeing - water stains, draft problems, visible mortar loss - and book a Level-2 camera inspection.
2. 2
   Inspection with documentation. Our tech runs a camera up the flue and photographs the exterior from the roof. You get the photos and a plain-English verdict: what’s wrong, what caused it, and what happens if you wait.
3. 3
   Parts decision. If your repair needs Olympia Chimney components, we source OEM when the warranty requires it. When OEM isn’t critical, we may recommend compatible professional-grade alternatives from our regular stock - DuraFlex, HeatShield, or Gelco - and we explain the trade-off before you decide.
4. 4
   Repair and test. We complete most jobs in one visit. Mortar cures, flashing seals, liners seat - then we run a combustion spillage test or draft check to confirm the system performs as designed.
5. 5
   Written guarantee. Before we leave, you get the 90-Day Done Right Promise in writing. If it’s not right, we come back. No paperwork to dig up, no argument.
6. 6
   Cleanup and follow-up. We haul away debris and leave the work area as we found it. Russell Haines reviews every Olympia Chimney job personally before the invoice goes out.
