Level 1 sweep and inspection to the NFPA 211 annual standard - flue, crown, cap, and flashing checked and photographed
Chimney sweep logs do not sweep chimneys. They loosen some creosote - which then falls where a brush and vacuum still have to collect it.
Olympia Chimney Chimney Cap & Crown in Atlanta: What to Know First
We provide independent Olympia Chimney chimney cap and crown service across Atlanta, from cap installation and replacement to crown repair and coating. Most Olympia Chimney jobs are completed in a single visit after our NFPA 211 Level 2 inspection, with a written price delivered before any work starts. We’re not affiliated with Olympia Chimney - we’re an independent service provider who sources their caps and components through Haven’s buying network alongside DuraFlex, HeatShield, and Gelco, which keeps pricing honest and parts available without markup theatre.
This page is for Atlanta homeowners who already have an Olympia Chimney cap or crown and need to know whether it can be repaired, what replacement actually costs, and whether the work will void whatever warranty remains. If that’s you, call (470) 435-7984. A live person answers, 24/7.
How Olympia Chimney Products Fail - and How We Fix Them
- Olympia Chimney Gelco-style multi-flue caps - corner weld separation. The Gelco line we see in Atlanta’s 1990s-2010s builds uses spot-welded corners that fatigue faster than continuous-seam designs, especially where pine pollen and Georgia humidity accelerate galvanic corrosion between the stainless body and the galvanized mesh. We cut out the failed corner, match the gauge, and TIG-weld a continuous seam repair or source a direct-fit replacement through Haven’s network if the frame is too far gone.
- Olympia Chimney standard single-flue caps - mesh blowout after ice events. The 3/4-inch mesh on their economy single-flue line isn’t rated for the expansion stress of Atlanta’s freeze-thaw cycles, particularly in December-January ice storms. Mesh separates from the frame at the crimp joint. We replace with 304 stainless mesh on a heavier-gauge frame, or step up to their 316-grade line if the flue sees heavy use.
- Olympia Chimney crown-forming products - shrinkage cracking on wide chimney shoulders. Their pre-mixed crown compound works well on standard 24-inch shoulders but tends to shrink-crack on the oversized shoulders common in Atlanta’s 1960s-1980s ranch builds, especially in Sandy Springs and Decatur where we see a lot of them. We open the crack to sound substrate, treat with a bonding agent, and re-form with a modified mix or switch to a formed-pour concrete crown with expansion joints if the shoulder exceeds 30 inches.
- Olympia Chimney chase covers - pan sag and corner rust-through. Their galvanized chase cover line, common on prefab installs in Alpharetta and Johns Creek, develops a characteristic low-spot sag where standing water accelerates rust at the corner diverter welds. We measure the chase opening, fabricate a replacement with cross-breaks for positive drainage, and upsell to aluminum or stainless only if the customer wants the longer interval - we show both options in writing.
- Olympia Chimney wind-directional caps - bearing seizure in coastal pollen zones. The rotating collar on their wind-directional line uses a bronze bushing that gums with Georgia’s heavy spring pollen load, particularly in homes near the Chattahoochee or on lots with mature oak canopy. We disassemble, clean the bearing race, and repack with high-temp synthetic grease; if the collar is scored, we machine a replacement or source the OEM collar through our supplier.
Our Olympia Chimney Chimney Cap & Crown Process

- 1
Call and schedule. A live person answers, checks availability, and notes your Olympia Chimney model if you know it. We don’t require it - we identify on site.
- 2
NFPA 211 Level 2 inspection on arrival. Camera down the flue, photos of the cap or crown from the roof, moisture readings on the crown surface. Corrine Halstead and our techs have been documenting every job this way since 2009. The camera doesn’t negotiate - it just shows you what’s there.
- 3
Written price and scope before any work. Haven Standard Clause 1: the price, the parts source (OEM Olympia Chimney or quality aftermarket equivalent), and the warranty term are in writing before tools come out.
- 4
Repair or replacement with documented photo record. We complete the cap or crown work, photograph the finished condition, and log it under Haven Standard Clause 4. You get the photos.
- 5
365-Day Done Right Promise activation. If the cap leaks, the crown cracks, or the weld fails in the first year, we make it right. The promise is stamped on every job.

FAQs
It depends on what’s left of it. Olympia Chimney’s original product warranty covers manufacturing defects, not installation or subsequent service, and most caps we encounter in Atlanta are past their original term. As an independent Olympia Chimney service provider, we document our work with photos and written scope so any remaining OEM claim can be supported with evidence. If warranty coverage matters to your decision, we’ll review the install date and terms with you before quoting. Call (470) 435-7984 and we’ll sort it out.
We can source either. For current Olympia Chimney lines, we pull OEM through Haven’s supplier network. For discontinued series - and several of their galvanized lines were phased out in the mid-2010s - we fabricate or source equivalent-grade aftermarket that matches or exceeds the original spec. We tell you which we’re proposing and why, with the price difference, before you decide.
We determine that with a hammer test and moisture meter. Surface cracking under 1/8 inch with sound substrate gets a bonded coating. Spalling, deep cracking, or saturation readings above 15 percent mean the crown is absorbing water and needs rebuild. We show you the readings and the photos; the decision is yours with the written price in hand.
Most cap replacements are completed in a single visit once scheduled. We carry common Olympia Chimney sizes and multi-flue configurations on our trucks, and our suppliers in metro Atlanta stock what we don’t. Crown rebuilds take longer - typically two visits, inspection plus pour - because concrete needs cure time. We’ll give you the schedule in writing with the price.
Water enters through cracks, freezes, expands, and widens them. In Atlanta’s climate, that cycle runs from late November through March. The longer it goes, the more likely water reaches the flue liner and firebox, turning a $500 coating job into a $2,000+ rebuild with interior repairs. We don’t scare-sell - we show you the moisture readings and let the numbers speak. Call (470) 435-7984 for a free estimate.
