This page is for homeowners in Manassas, Bristow, and the surrounding Prince William County area who have an Olympia Chimney cap, crown, flashing, or liner showing wear, and who want a technician who knows the difference between an Olympia 316Ti flexible liner and a generic substitute. If that’s your situation, call (571) 586-0593. A live person answers, 24 hours a day.

How Olympia Chimney Products Fail - and How We Fix Them

• Olympia 316Ti flexible liner collars separating at the top plate. In Manassas, where summer humidity swings to winter freeze-thaw, the expansion differential between Olympia’s titanium-stabilized steel and standard aluminum top plates causes collar fatigue after 8-12 years. We replace with an OEM Olympia collar or a DuraFlex equivalent rated for the same thermal cycle count, sealed with high-temp silicone rather than the original clamp-only design.
• Olympia Gelco-compatible chase covers pooling water at the corners. The Gelco line sold through Olympia dealers uses a 24-gauge galvanized edge that can dish slightly over time, especially on taller Manassas chimneys with exposed wind exposure near the battlefield corridor. We install a fabricated cross-break or replace with a Gelco stainless unit, depending on budget and remaining service life.
• Olympia cast-in-place HeatShield liner developing spider cracking above the smoke shelf. HeatShield’s refractory compound performs well, but in older Manassas homes with oversized fireboxes (common in 1960s-70s split-levels), the thermal shock exceeds the design duty cycle. We re-apply HeatShield using the manufacturer’s specified thickness gauge, or sleeve with a DuraFlex 316Ti if the substrate is too compromised for recasting.
• Olympia brick-and-mortar crowns losing bond at the flue tile interface. Olympia’s documentation assumes a standard 8″×12″ flue tile; many Manassas renovations from the 1980s used 10″×10″ or odd-size clay tiles. The crown mortar doesn’t bridge properly, and water follows the gap. We form a custom crown with proper drip edges and expansion accommodation for the actual flue size in place.
• Olympia Famco chimney cap mesh clogging with cottonwood debris. The Famco 3/4″ mesh standard on many Olympia systems is correct for spark arresting, but the cottonwoods along Bull Run and the Occoquan watershed shed heavily in late spring. We clean and reset, or upgrade to Famco’s 5/8″ mesh with a raised lid for better airflow in high-debris zones.

Our Olympia Chimney Chimney Repair Process

1. 1
   Call and schedule. A live person answers, day or night. We ask about the Olympia product line if you know it, the age of the system, and what you’re seeing. We book a window that works and confirm the $89 Seasonal Tune-Up if inspection is all that’s needed.
2. 2
   Level-2 camera inspection. Our technician arrives in uniform, background-checked, with a Chim-Scan or equivalent camera system. We photograph every surface, identify the Olympia components in place, and document failure mode and cause.
3. 3
   Plain-English verdict and upfront pricing. We show you the photos, explain what needs doing this season and what can wait, and give a written estimate. The number on the estimate is the number on the invoice.
4. 4
   Parts decision: OEM or quality equivalent. For Olympia Chimney components, we source OEM when available and warranty-appropriate. When lead times stretch or the part is discontinued, we use DuraFlex, HeatShield, Gelco, or Famco equivalents that match or exceed the original specification. We explain the trade-off and let you decide.
5. 5
   Repair and test. We complete most repairs in a single visit. Mortar cures to spec, liners are pull-tested, caps are wind-checked. We run a combustion spillage test if the system is active.
6. 6
   Cleanup, documentation, and guarantee. Photos of the completed work, a written summary, and the 90-Day Done Right Promise in hand. If it’s not right, we make it right. No paperwork, no arguing.
