How Olympia Chimney Products Fail - and How We Fix Them

• Olympia Chimney stainless steel liner collars separating at the joint. We see this most in the 316Ti flexible liner series after five to eight winters in Lynchburg’s freeze-thaw cycle. Water gets behind the collar, freezes, and works the seam open. Our fix: remove the compromised collar, inspect the liner body for pitting, and install a new OEM-spec collar with high-temp sealant rated to 1,200°F. If the liner itself is sound, this is a same-day repair.
• Olympia Chimney Gelco-compatible chase covers pooling water at the center seam. The Gelco line’s stamped center point can flatten slightly over time, especially on taller chase structures common in the Boonsboro and Wyndhurst areas. Standing water accelerates rust at the weld. We replace with a properly peaked Gelco cover or, if the chase framing allows, upgrade to a custom-fabricated Copperfield cap with better slope.
• Mortar failure in Olympia Chimney system-built masonry surrounds. Olympia’s modular masonry components rely on a specific mortar mix that some Lynchburg masons substitute with standard Type N. The mismatch cracks inside three to five years. We grind out the bad joints to proper depth and repoint with Olympia-spec refractory mortar, color-matched where visible.
• Spalling brick on Olympia Chimney exterior chimney faces above the roofline. The Olympia 8-inch round and 6-inch oval lines vent into exterior chimneys that take the full brunt of Lynchburg’s driving rains off the Blue Ridge. When the original waterproofing wears thin, brick faces pop off in sheets. We repair individual spalls with matching brick, then apply a siloxane-based breathable sealer - never a film-forming coating that traps moisture.
• Flashing separation at Olympia Chimney thimble penetrations. Olympia’s thimble design requires precise counterflashing integration that gets butchered in retrofit jobs. We remove the old flashing, inspect the thimble for heat distortion, and install new step flashing with a reglet cut into sound mortar, sealed with copper tabs. This is the only repair we warranty against future leaks.

Our Olympia Chimney Chimney Repair Process

   Call and schedule. A live person answers, day or night. We ask what you’re seeing - water stains, draft problems, visible damage - and book a Level-2 camera inspection at your Lynchburg home.
2. 2
   Inspection and documentation. Our technician arrives in uniform, runs a camera from firebox to cap, and photographs every defect. You see the images on a tablet while we explain what needs repair, what can wait, and what is merely aging.
3. 3
   Parts decision. For Olympia Chimney components, we source OEM when available and warranty-safe. When Olympia lead times stretch past two weeks, we specify equivalent professional-grade parts from DuraFlex, HeatShield, or Gelco - never builder-grade substitutes - and explain the trade-off before you decide.
4. 4
   Repair and test. Most Olympia Chimney repairs finish in one visit. We pressure-test liners, water-test flashings, and verify draft performance before we pack up.
