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.

How Olympia Chimney Products Fail - and How We Fix Them
- Olympia Chimney stainless steel caps in the OC Series develop weld-seam separation at the lid joint after 6-10 years in North Texas sun. The thermal cycling between 100°F summer days and below-freezing winter nights fatigues the factory tack welds faster than continuous-weld designs. We replace with a fully seam-welded cap from our Haven buying network, or source direct Olympia Chimney replacement when the flue configuration demands it.
- Olympia Chimney galvanized caps on pre-2018 installations show bottom-rim rust-through that drips orange staining down the chimney face. The galvanized coating on early production runs was thinner than current specs, and Frisco’s hard water runoff accelerates the corrosion at the drip edge. We upgrade to 304 stainless or aluminum with a proper overhang and drip edge that clears the crown surface.
- Olympia Chimney multi-flue caps with integrated spark arrestors clog with cottonwood seed and leaf debris from Frisco’s mature neighborhoods like Starwood, causing smoke backup and creosote accumulation above the arrestor screen. The factory mesh is 5/8-inch, which catches everything. We clean, inspect the underlying flue condition with our camera, and can retrofit with 3/4-inch mesh where code allows for better airflow without ember compromise.
- Olympia Chimney poured concrete crowns on factory-built chimney systems crack at the corner radii where the crown meets the chase cover. The factory mix lacks fiber reinforcement, and the chase framing settles slightly in Frisco’s expansive clay soils. We cut back to sound concrete, install a bonded fiber-reinforced crown coat, and verify the new slope sheds water away from the flue opening.
- Olympia Chimney chase covers with factory-sealed crown interfaces allow capillary wicking at the sealant joint, producing interior flue tile spalling that the homeowner mistakes for liner failure. The camera shows the real problem: water entering at the crown edge, running down the flue wall, and freezing in the smoke chamber throat. We reflash the chase-to-crown joint with step flashing and a compression seal, then coat the crown with a vapor-permeable waterproofing layer.
Our Olympia Chimney Chimney Cap & Crown Process

- 1
Call and schedule. A live person answers, confirms your Olympia Chimney model if you know it, and books a Level 2 camera inspection. You get a text when your tech is en route.
- 2
NFPA 211 Level 2 inspection. We run the camera down the flue, photograph the crown from the roof and the ladder, and document cap attachment points and fastener condition. Corrine Halstead reviews the footage before any quote is written.
- 3
Written price and scope. You receive a line-item quote with part numbers, labor hours, and warranty terms before anyone picks up a tool. This is Haven Standard Clause 1: Have it in writing.
- 4
Parts decision. We stock compatible caps and crown coating materials through our Haven buying network, including Olympia Chimney, DuraFlex, HeatShield, and Gelco. OEM when it makes sense, quality aftermarket when it performs equal or better at honest cost.
- 5
Repair and test. Cap or crown work is completed, the flue is camera-scanned again to confirm no debris or damage from the process, and a water test verifies crown drainage.
- 6
Documentation and guarantee. You get photos, the camera footage, the written invoice, and the 365-Day Done Right Promise. Clause 4 of the Haven Standard requires the photo record; we’ve done this on every job since 2009.

FAQs
No. As an independent Olympia Chimney service provider, we are not affiliated with or authorized by Olympia Chimney, but warranty coverage on materials is between you and the manufacturer. Our work is documented with photos and part numbers, which supports any warranty claim you choose to file. Call (940) 290-7230 if you need help interpreting your warranty terms.
We source both through our Haven buying network. OEM Olympia Chimney caps and hardware are available with typical lead times of 3-5 business days. We stock compatible aftermarket caps from Gelco and Famco for faster turnaround when the specification matches. Your written quote names the exact part and origin before you decide.
Cracks under 1/4 inch wide with no underlying concrete loss can be coated. Spalling (surface flaking), exposed aggregate, cracks that go through to the flue tile, or pooling water mean rebuild. Our camera inspection and hammer sounding tell the difference; we show you the footage and explain which category you’re in before quoting. Call (940) 290-7230 for an exact assessment.
Most cap replacements and crown coatings are completed in 2-4 hours on site. Crown rebuilds typically require a return visit after the pour cures, usually 3-5 days later for final seal and inspection. We schedule both visits upfront so you’re not waiting for a callback.
Water enters the flue, freezes in the smoke chamber, and spalls the flue liner. That turns a $500 crown coat into a $3,000+ liner replacement. In Frisco’s freeze-thaw cycle, the damage accelerates each winter. We document the current condition with photos so you can see exactly what waiting costs. Call (940) 290-7230 for a free estimate.
