How Olympia Chimney Products Fail – and How We Fix Them

Olympia Chimney builds solid products, but every chimney system has weak points. Here’s what we see most often on Marietta homes, and how we address each one.

• Chimney cap deterioration on Olympia’s stainless steel liners. Olympia’s rigid and flexible stainless steel liner systems hold up well, but the caps and termination components take direct weather exposure year-round. In Marietta’s hot, humid summers and freeze-thaw winters, the cap’s mesh screening corrodes first. You’ll notice rust streaks down the chase or water stains on the ceiling near the fireplace. We replace the cap with a properly sized stainless steel unit, not a universal one that leaves gaps.
• Mortar joint erosion on brick chimneys built with Olympia flue tile. Olympia flue tiles are durable, but the exterior masonry weathers independently of the flue. When the mortar joints start eroding – a process that accelerates on the west-facing sides of homes near Kennesaw Mountain where afternoon sun beats hardest – moisture seeps in and worsens the damage every winter freeze. We repoint with mortar matched to your brick’s original compressive strength, so the repair doesn’t crack away from the old mortar.
• Spalling brick face on older Olympia installations. Spalling is the technical term for brick faces flaking or popping off. We see this on Marietta homes built in the 1980s and 1990s where Olympia flue systems were paired with softer local brick. Water gets behind the brick face, freezes, and pushes chunks off. Left alone, the chimney loses structural integrity. We match the brick and rebuild the affected section – and we’ll show you photos of the spalled brick before any demo starts.
• Flashing failure at the roofline where the Olympia chimney penetrates. Flashing (the metal seal where chimney meets roof) fails on Olympia chimneys at the same rate as any other brand, but the damage shows up differently because Olympia’s flue systems sit inside a traditional masonry chase. When flashing fails, water runs down the outside of the flue inside the chase – you won’t see it until water stains appear on the ceiling below or the firebox smells musty. We replace flashing with proper step and counter flashing, not caulk over a failing seal.
• Cracked flue tile joints that let heat and gases escape. Olympia clay flue tiles can crack at the mortar joints between sections. This happens when the chimney runs hot, then cools quickly – a cycle we see in Marietta homes that burn regularly from November through February. The crack lets creosote (the flammable tar buildup that makes chimneys a fire risk) escape into the chimney cavity. Our camera inspection catches this before it becomes a fire hazard, and we often repair it with HeatShield’s ceramic joint compound rather than a full liner replacement.

Our Olympia Chimney Chimney Repair Process

Here’s what happens when you book an Olympia Chimney repair with us, step by step.

1. 1
   Call and book. A live person answers at (762) 249-4619, day or night. We ask what you’re seeing – water stains, draft problems, crumbling mortar, an animal in the chimney – and schedule a visit within a tracked arrival window.
2. 2
   Camera inspection and photo documentation. Our tech arrives in a tracked, branded vehicle. We run a camera up the flue and take photos of the exterior, the flashing, and any visible damage. You’ll see what we see.
3. 3
   Diagnosis with recommendations. We walk you through each photo. If an Olympia part is damaged, we discuss whether OEM replacement makes sense or whether an aftermarket part from DuraFlex or Copperfield matches the spec at a better price. Nothing is recommended without visual evidence you can verify.
4. 4
   Written price before work starts. We give you a flat, written price for the full repair. No estimates that balloon once we’re on the roof. If a liner section needs replacement, you’ll know that number before we order anything.
5. 5
   The repair. We complete the work – repointing, flashing, cap replacement, tuckpointing, waterproofing, or a partial rebuild – using materials matched to your system and your home’s masonry.
6. 6
   Test, photos, guarantee. We verify the repair, send you before-and-after photos, and hand you a written 365-Day Done Right Promise. If the repair fails within 365 days, we come back free and make it right.
