How Olympia Chimney Products Fail - and How We Fix Them

• Olympia Chimney Gelco stainless caps corrode at the weld seams near Taunton’s coast. The salt air off Mount Hope Bay accelerates pitting where the cross-break meets the skirt, especially on caps installed before 2015. We remove the cap, assess whether the flue tile survived the moisture intrusion, and fit a replacement with marine-grade 304 stainless and a proper drip edge. In most cases the flue itself is sound; we document it with photos so you can see.
• Olympia Chimney’s older galvanized dampers seize in the closed position after humid summers. The 1000-Series throat dampers use a steel frame that rusts where the pivot pin meets the plate, common in Taunton’s older colonials with shallow fireboxes. We free the mechanism if possible, but when the plate is warped we replace with a lock-top or Lyemance damper that seals at the flue top and eliminates the throat altogether. This often improves draft and stops the heat loss you didn’t know you had.
• Olympia Chimney’s round flexible liners settle and create gaps at the thimble in offset chimneys. The 316Ti alloy liners are quality material, but in Taunton’s 1920s-era homes with multiple offsets, the liner can belly or pull from the appliance connector after a decade of expansion cycles. We run a camera to locate the separation, then reinstall with a proper support plate and insulation wrap to maintain the UL 1777 listing. Cutting corners here is how you get creosote buildup in a void you cannot see.
• Olympia Chimney’s cast-in-place crown formulations crack from freeze-thaw faster than poured concrete in unlined flues. The proprietary blend is sound when applied over a liner, but we’ve found it applied directly to brick in several Taunton homes where a previous owner skipped the liner. We remove the failed crown, assess the top course of brick for spalling, and rebuild with a proper concrete crown and drip edge, or recommend a full liner if the flue is unprotected. Photos you can see, a plain-English verdict.
• Olympia Chimney’s Gelco chimney pots and decorative shrouds trap moisture when flashings are omitted or improperly lapped. The ornamental tops look sharp, but without a saddle cricket or step flashing woven into the counterflashing, water runs behind the pot and rots the top three feet of masonry. We remove the pot, repair the brick and mortar, install proper copper or lead flashings, and reset the pot with weep holes and a bed of sealant that can breathe. Russell Haines has seen this exact failure on four homes near Taunton Green where the original installer treated the pot like a hat instead of a roof penetration.
