How Olympia Chimney Products Fail - and How We Fix Them

• Olympia Chimney 316Ti flexible liner, premature seam separation. We see this most in Collegeville’s older colonials along Main Street where the flue run exceeds 25 feet and the installer didn’t upsize for the lateral offset. The 316Ti alloy resists corrosion but the longitudinal seam can work open from thermal cycling in Pennsylvania’s hard freeze-thaw winters. We camera-scan to locate the separation, then sleeve with an Olympia-compatible 316Ti section or switch to a DuraFlex Pro liner if the damage is extensive, welding the connection rather than relying on standard clamps alone.
• Olympia Chimney Gelco-style cap, base rail rust-through at the weld. The powder-coated steel base rail on earlier Gelco caps sold through Olympia’s distribution network traps moisture where the rail meets the mesh skirt. In Collegeville’s humid summers, we’ve found rust holes at 6-8 years instead of the expected 15. We replace with a stainless steel base rail from our Haven buying network, or upgrade to a full stainless Olympia cap if the homeowner plans to stay in the home long-term. The camera doesn’t lie, and neither does the written price.
• Olympia Chimney round flexible liner, ovalization in factory-built chimneys. When an Olympia round liner is forced into a factory-built chimney with an ovalized flue space, the liner flattens at the major axis and creates a creosote trap. We find this in Perkiomen Valley split-levels from the 1980s where the fireplace was retrofitted. Our fix: remove the damaged section, re-ovalize with a proper forming tool, and reinstall with Olympia’s listed oval-to-round adapter, or transition to a HeatShield cerfractory resurfacing if the factory chimney walls are compromised.
• Olympia Chimney top-sealing damper, cable housing freeze. The cast-aluminum damper body seals well when new, but the stainless cable housing runs through the smoke chamber where Collegeville’s below-zero January nights can freeze condensed moisture. The cable binds, and homeowners get smoke rollout on the first fire of the season. We strip and re-lube the housing with high-temp silicone, or replace with a newer Olympia damper with the improved breather port design, documenting the flue draft reading before and after under Clause 4 of the Haven Standard.
• Olympia Chimney masonry chimney crown, spalling from trapped efflorescence. Olympia doesn’t manufacture crowns, but their spec calls for a minimum 2-inch overhang and drip edge that many Collegeville installers skip to save on scaffold time. Water wicks through the brick, dissolves salts in Montgomery County’s clay-heavy mortar, and the crown face spalls from the inside out. We cut back to sound concrete, pour a new crown with integral wire mesh, and seal with a vapor-permeable siloxane, matching the Olympia spec for overhang and slope.
