How Olympia Chimney Products Fail - and How We Fix Them

• Olympia Chimney standard black galvanized caps rust at the base seam within 3-5 years in Ashburn. The winters here cycle through freeze-thaw repeatedly, and the factory seam sits right where water pools after rain. We see rust-through on the skirt and screen sections on older Olympia caps in the Ashburn Farm and Ashburn Village neighborhoods. Our fix is a replacement cap with a stainless steel body, not another galvanized unit, and we reseal the flue tile before mounting.
• Crown spalling on Olympia masonry chimneys is accelerated by the factory mortar wash. Olympia chimney systems built with a standard mortar crown (not precast) absorb water at the crown shoulders, and after a decade of Ashburn weather the concrete starts flaking at the edges. We see this on homes along the W&OD Trail corridor where tree cover holds moisture longer. The repair is crown rebuilding with an elastomeric coating, not just caulk, so water actually sheds.
• Olympia stainless multi-flue caps lose their hold-down brackets in high wind. The factory brackets on some Olympia stainless caps are lighter gauge than we’d like for exposed Ashburn rooflines. In the One Loudoun corridor, where newer construction sits tight and wind gets channeled between homes, we routinely find caps shifted or missing brackets entirely. We replace the cap with heavier-gauge mounting hardware and make sure every leg is through-bolted, not just screwed into mortar.
• Screen mesh on Olympia caps is too wide to keep starlings out of Ashburn flues. Starlings are a real problem in this part of Loudoun County, and Olympia’s standard half-inch mesh lets them through. We’ve pulled live birds and nesting debris out of Olympia flues in BrambletonTownCenter. The fix is a cap with screen mesh sized to exclude starlings, not just keep out leaves.
• Rusted cap screens on Olympia’s lower-cost line trap creosote and become a fire hazard in wood-burning flues. We’ve documented Class III creosote (the thick, tar-like kind that ignites) building up behind the mesh on older Olympia caps on woodstove chimneys. Here’s the thing: cap screens on wood flues need to be checked every sweep, not every few years. We cut the old screen out and install a cap designed for wood-burning systems, then photograph the result.

1. 1
   You call, we schedule a specific time window. A live person answers, every time, and we text when the tech is on the way.

3. 3
   We measure the flue and cap footprint, then bring you options. For Olympia chimneys in Ashburn, that usually means a stainless replacement cap from Olympia or an equivalent from Famco or Copperfield. We’ll tell you the trade-offs in plain terms.
4. 4
   Written price, written scope, written warranty delivered before work starts. No verbal estimates. If you have a competitor’s written quote, bring it. We’ll do a free second opinion.

   We do the repair or replacement, then take a final camera pass. You get dated photos of the cap or crown, the flue, and the work done.

What Olympia Chimney Chimney Cap & Crown Costs in Ashburn

Here are the real numbers we quote in Ashburn and nearby Loudoun County neighborhoods.

• Single-flue stainless cap replacement: $340-$620, depending on flue size and liner condition
• Custom multi-flue cap installation: $700-$1,100, including custom fabrication and mounting hardware
• Crown repair with elastomeric coating: $450-$800, depending on crown size and flue count
• Full crown rebuild: $900-$1,500, when the concrete is too spalled for coating
• Cap screen replacement only: $180-$320, when the cap body is sound but the mesh is shot

What moves the price: chimney height, roof pitch, number of flues, and whether the flue tile needs resealing. Ashburn homes in Broadlands and Ashburn Farm tend to have two-flue chimneys, so that $500-$800 range covers most jobs. Nothing gets recommended without camera evidence you can see.
