We’re an independent Olympia Chimney service provider in Leesburg, and we handle chimney cap and crown work on Olympia Chimney products every week.

Crown repairs run longer, depending on how much of the existing concrete has spalled away.

This page is for Leesburg homeowners who own a Olympia Chimney product and need honest answers about what’s failing, what it costs, and whether it can wait. Call (571) 601-3174 and we’ll walk you through it.

How Olympia Chimney Products Fail - and How We Fix Them

• Olympia Chimney’s stainless steel caps with mesh screening corrode at the base weld first. We see this on Olympia’s standard round and square caps throughout Leesburg, especially on homes near the Potomac where humidity sits on the metal. The weld where the mesh meets the cap body is the thinnest point, and once it goes, birds get in. We replace the cap with either OEM or a Copperfield equivalent that uses a heavier-gauge mesh attachment. The fix is straightforward: remove the old cap, inspect the flue tile underneath for damage, and install the new cap with a mechanical fastener, not just friction fit.
• Crown cracking from freeze-thaw is the single most common Olympia Chimney repair we do in Leesburg. Olympia’s stainless and galvanized caps sit on top of a concrete crown, and when that crown wasn’t poured with an expansion joint or has cracked over years of Leesburg winters, water gets into the masonry below the cap. Spalling brick, efflorescence, and eventually liner damage follow. We grind out the cracked concrete, apply a CrownCoat sealant or recast the crown entirely if the damage is deep, then re-bed the cap using a flexible sealant that moves with the freeze-thaw cycle.
• Olympia Chimney multi-flue caps with center support brackets loosen over time. On two-flue and three-flue Olympia caps, the center support that spans the flues takes wind load from every direction. We’ve replaced several on older Leesburg homes near Balls Bluff where the wind comes across the open field. The symptom is a rattling you hear on gusty nights. The fix is a re-tensioning of the bracket or replacement with a custom-fabricated cap that uses a thicker support bar. This is a safety issue; a loose multi-flue cap can lift off in a storm.
• Olympia Chimney’s galvanized caps rust through at the 5-year mark in Leesburg’s climate. The galvanized line is budget-priced for a reason. Between the humidity and the acid in wood smoke, the zinc coating breaks down faster than the manufacturer’s typical lifespan. If you’re replacing a galvanized Olympia cap, we steer you toward their stainless line or a Copperfield stainless equivalent. The price difference is maybe $60 to $90, and the stainless will outlast the galvanized two to three times over.
• Wrong-sized Olympia caps installed by other contractors create draft problems that look like flue damage. We get calls from Leesburg homeowners who were told they need a liner replacement when the actual problem is a cap sized for the wrong flue diameter. Undersized caps starve the draft; oversized caps let rain in around the edges. We measure the flue inside diameter and the outside tile dimension before ordering, and we show you the measurement on camera so you know exactly what you’re getting.

Our Olympia Chimney Chimney Cap & Crown Process

1. 1
   You call (571) 601-3174. A live person answers. You describe the problem, we schedule a time that works, and you get a text confirmation with the tech’s name.
2. 2
   We arrive and inspect. We run a NFPA 211 Level 2 camera scan on the flue, not just a visual check of the cap. That tells us whether the cap failure has already caused liner or masonry damage below.
3. 3
   We show you the footage. You see what we see. If the cap is rusted, you see it. If the crown is cracked, you see it. Corrine Halstead insists on this step because the camera doesn’t lie, and neither does the price we write down before we start.
4. 4
   We write the price. Written scope, written price, written warranty, before any work begins. If you want OEM Olympia parts, we quote OEM. If a Copperfield or DuraFlex equivalent saves you money without losing quality, we quote both and let you decide.
5. 5
   We do the work. Cap replacement, crown recoat, full crown recast, custom multi-flue fabrication - whatever the job calls for. We protect the roof, we clean up, and we leave the site the way we found it.
6. 6
   You get the documentation. Photo record of the job included under Haven Standard Clause 4. Written warranty in your hand. And the 365-Day Done Right Promise: if it’s not done right, we make it right.

Why Leesburg Homeowners Call Level Two Chimney Leesburg for Olympia Chimney Work

We’re the chimney company that put the camera down the flue before customers demanded it. Since 2009, every visit includes a documented photo record, not a verbal summary. That practice became Clause 4 of the Haven Standard, and it means when we tell you your Olympia cap or crown needs work, you’re looking at the same footage we are.

We work on Olympia Chimney products regularly, but we’re not tied to one brand. When a DuraFlex liner makes more sense than an Olympia replacement, or a HeatShield application saves you from a rebuild, or a Gelco crown product fits the job better, we tell you. Our parts come through Haven’s buying network specifically to keep prices honest. And every job is backed by the 365-Day Done Right Promise. If it’s not done right, we make it right.

Leesburg homes, especially the older ones with original clay-tile liners and stonework near Balls Bluff Battlefield, need a chimney company that understands what’s actually happening up there. We do.
