This page is for Arlington Heights homeowners who already have Olympia Chimney components - a Gelco-style cap, a multi-flue cover, or a crown built for Olympia’s liner systems - and need repair or replacement done by techs who know the product line. Corrine Halstead and our crew have worked on Olympia Chimney hardware across the northwest suburbs for years, including the older colonials near Campbell Street where the original caps never accounted for the freeze-thaw cycles we get off the lake.

How Olympia Chimney Products Fail - and How We Fix Them

• Olympia Chimney Gelco single-flue caps - mesh separation at the weld. The expanded stainless mesh on Gelco caps can pull from its frame after five to seven winters in Arlington Heights, especially on south-facing flues where thermal cycling is worst. We spot this during our camera-scan inspection: gaps in mesh let squirrels and starlings nest directly on the flue tile. We replace with OEM Gelco or a Famco equivalent, depending on flue size and your preference.
• Olympia Chimney multi-flue caps - frame sag on wide masonry chimneys. The 304 stainless frame on multi-flue models can bow when spanning more than 36 inches, particularly on 1960s Arlington Heights ranch chimneys with oversize crowns. We measure crown pitch and span before ordering; when the frame is compromised, we spec a heavier-gauge replacement or a custom-fabricated cap through our Haven buying network.
• Olympia Chimney crown compatibility - liner offset causing pooling. Olympia’s flexible liner systems sometimes terminate slightly off-center in the flue, especially on offset chimneys common in Arlington Heights split-levels. The cap sits crooked, water pools on the crown, and freeze-thaw opens cracks within two seasons. We shim or custom-cut the cap base, then seal with CrownCoat or a full crown rebuild if the concrete is spalled.
• Olympia Chimney wind-band caps - band corrosion at the flue joint. The tension band that secures wind-band models to round flue tiles corrodes faster than the cap body, particularly where Arlington Heights’ road salt aerosol settles on rooftop hardware. We replace the band with 316 stainless stock and inspect the flue tile lip for cracks the band may have masked.
• Olympia Chimney chase covers on prefab chimneys - pan rust-through at the diverter. When Olympia chase covers are used on wood-framed chases (common in 1980s Arlington Heights townhomes), the diverter seam rusts first because it’s the low point. We fabricate a replacement pan in 24-gauge stainless or copper, depending on your chase dimensions, and always include a storm collar at the flue penetration.

Our Olympia Chimney Chimney Cap & Crown Process

1. 1
   Call and schedule. A live person answers 24/7. We book your appointment, send a text with your tech’s name, and notify you when they’re en route.
2. 2
   NFPA 211 Level 2 inspection with camera. We run the camera down the flue before touching the cap or crown. Corrine’s rule: the camera doesn’t guess. Neither do we. You see what we see - liner condition, creosote stage, crown integrity - on a tablet before any price is discussed.
3. 3
   Written price, written scope, written warranty. Haven Standard Clause 1: have it in writing. Your estimate names the part (OEM Olympia Chimney or quality aftermarket from our DuraFlex, HeatShield, Gelco, or Famco inventory), the labor, and the 365-Day Done Right Promise. No verbal quotes. No “we’ll see when we get up there.”
4. 4
   Cap or crown work. We remove the failed component, address underlying damage (spalled crown edges, cracked flue tile, deteriorated mortar), and install the replacement to manufacturer spec. For crowns, we pour new concrete or apply CrownCoat depending on depth of damage.
5. 5
   Post-repair camera verification and photo record. Haven Standard Clause 4 requires a documented photo record on every job. We photograph the installed cap or finished crown, plus the flue interior after work, and deliver your record before we leave.
6. 6
   Cleanup and follow-up. We haul away the old cap or crown debris. Your warranty and photo archive are active immediately. Call back anytime under the 365-Day Done Right Promise.
