This page is for homeowners who already have an Olympia Chimney system installed and need the cap or crown addressed. Maybe water’s getting in, or a home inspector flagged crown cracking, or the original cap blew off in a March nor’easter. Wherever you are in Attleboro - from the older neighborhoods near the Woodcock Reservoir to newer builds off Route 1 - we can take a look, show you photos, and give you a number that won’t change. Call (508) 545-9737 when you’re ready.

How Olympia Chimney Products Fail - and How We Fix Them

• Olympia Chimney Gelco-style single-flue caps: The 13×13 and 8×12 sizes we see most in Attleboro colonials use a mesh screen that can clog with creosote if the fireplace sees heavy winter use. The screen corrodes from the inside out, and homeowners don’t notice until draft drops or smoke backs up. We pull the cap, assess the mesh and base ring, and replace with either an Olympia Chimney OEM equivalent or a Gelco aftermarket cap with heavier-gauge stainless mesh - whichever fits the flue profile and your budget.
• Olympia Chimney multi-flue caps on masonry chimneys: The mounting brackets on their multi-flue line can work loose after five to seven New England freeze-thaw cycles, especially on Attleboro homes with south-facing chimneys that see rapid temperature swings. The cap tilts, gaps open, and water runs straight down the flue tiles. We reseat with new masonry anchors, check the crown slope beneath, and reset the cap with proper pitch for runoff.
• Olympia Chimney crown wash failures: Their factory crown coating is adequate when fresh, but we’ve found it tends to alligator-crack on chimneys over 25 years old, particularly where Attleboro’s clay-heavy soil causes minor foundation settling. We grind back to sound concrete, apply a bonding agent, and resurface with HeatShield CrownCoat or a poured concrete crown depending on the depth of deterioration.
• Olympia Chimney stainless chase covers on factory-built chimneys: The corner seams on their earlier 304-stainless chase covers can pit where salt air from coastal Massachusetts meets road salt spray off I-95. We’ve replaced dozens of these in North Attleborough and Attleboro proper with upgraded 316L stainless or copper from Olympia Chimney or Copperfield, depending on whether the homeowner wants the 20-year look or the 50-year one.
• Olympia Chimney wind-load failures on tall flues: Their standard cap attachment - a simple set-screw band - isn’t always sufficient on chimneys above roofline by four feet or more, which is common in Attleboro’s hillside neighborhoods off Mendon Road. The cap lifts, dents, or disappears entirely. We upgrade to a bolt-through band or a Gelco outside-mount cap with storm collars, and we show you the wind-load math so you understand why.
