How Olympia Chimney Products Fail – and How We Fix Them

• Olympia solid-pack chimney pipe and creosote-driven seam failure. In Santa Clarita’s dry, hot summers and cold canyon nights, the temperature swings cause the outer casing on Olympia’s solid-pack pipe to expand and contract more than the inner liner. We regularly find hairline splits at the seam welds on units that vent wood stoves in Stevenson Ranch and Castaic. The fix is section replacement with OEM Olympia pipe where the dimensions are odd, or a matched DuraFlex liner when the chase allows it. We’ll show you the crack on camera before we quote it.
• Rain cap and spark arrestor corrosion on Olympia chimney caps. Santa Clarita is not a coastal market, but wind-driven grit from the hills and the odd wet winter eats through Olympia’s stamped steel caps faster than the stainless upgrades most manufacturers offer. We see this on older homes in Valencia and Newhall where the cap has been on for a decade. We replace with an OEM Olympia cap when the flue size is standard, or a Copperfield stainless cap when the original was undersized to begin with.
• Mortar crown cracking above Olympia clay flue tile. The crown, not the tile, is the usual culprit when an Olympia chimney leaks. The mortar crown sits exposed to direct sun and rain, and in Santa Clarita it cracks within a few seasons if it was poured thin. Water gets in, then freeze-thaw in the higher canyons widens the crack further. We repoint or pour a new crown, depending on how far the damage has gone, and we waterproof the crown surface with Gelco sealer so it doesn’t come back next year.
• Flashing failure at the roofline on hillside homes. The older hillside houses in Stevenson Ranch were built fast, and the step flashing where the Olympia chimney meets the roof is often the first thing to go. We find lifted flashing, dried-out sealant, and in some cases flashing that was never step-cut properly. Our repair is to cut out the old flashing, install new aluminum or copper flashing with proper counterflashing, and seal with a commercial-grade chimney sealant.
• Spalling brick on older Olympia masonry fireplaces. When water works its way into the brick face over a decade or two, the brick starts to shed its surface – spalling, in the trade. We see this on Olympia masonry units in Canyon Country and Saugus. Left alone, the brick loses structural integrity. We cut out and replace the damaged brick, repoint the mortar joints around it, and then waterproof the whole exterior so the repair outlasts the original face.

Our Olympia Chimney Chimney Repair Process

Every Olympia Chimney job in Santa Clarita follows the same sequence, start to finish:

1. 1
   Call and scheduled window. You call (661) 430-6125. A person answers. We book a day and a two-hour arrival window. No callbacks, no forms.
2. 2
   Inspection and camera work. Our tech arrives in uniform, visually inspects the Olympia Chimney components, and runs a camera up the flue if the repair involves the liner or interior. You see the photos before you’re asked to agree to anything.
3. 3
   Written price. We put the scope and the dollar figure on paper before any work starts. The price we write is the price you pay. Nothing moves at the door.
4. 4
   Parts decision: OEM or matched aftermarket. If the repair calls for Olympia-specific parts that are still in production, we use OEM Olympia. If the part is discontinued or the original design was the problem, we’ll spec a professional-grade alternative like DuraFlex, HeatShield, Gelco, Famco, or Copperfield and explain why in plain terms.
5. 5
   The repair and the test. We do the work, clean up the site, and then test what we repaired – we’re not leaving until we can show you the result. For a liner repair, that means a smoke or draft test. For a crown or flashing repair, it means a water test.
6. 6
   Written guarantee. Every Olympia Chimney repair comes with our 365-Day Done Right Promise in writing. If a covered repair fails within a full year, we return and fix it at no charge.
