Olympia Chimney Chimney Cap & Crown in Northport: What to Know First

We provide independent Olympia Chimney chimney cap & crown service in Northport, with most jobs completed in a single visit and upfront pricing agreed before we start. A standard Olympia Chimney cap replacement runs $280-$520 depending on flue count and whether the crown needs attention too. We’re not affiliated with Olympia Chimney - we’re an independent service provider who stocks the parts and knows the product lines.

This page is for Northport homeowners who already have an Olympia Chimney system installed and need cap or crown work done right the first time. Maybe you’re seeing rust streaks down the brick, or water in the firebox after a nor’easter, or you’ve been told the crown is cracked and you’re not sure whether to believe it. Call (631) 528-2501 and a live person will pick up, any hour of any day. We’ll schedule a camera inspection, show you exactly what we find, and give you a number that won’t change.

How Olympia Chimney Products Fail - and How We Fix Them

• Galvanized single-flue caps on the 1000 Series rust through at the seams. Northport’s salt air off the Sound accelerates corrosion, especially on south-facing exposures. We see this on Harbor Road homes and anywhere within a half-mile of the water. We replace with stainless or copper equivalents that won’t dissolve in five years, and we always check whether the original galvanized hardware has seized into the flue tile.
• Multi-flue caps in the 2000 Series develop sagging lids from snow load. Olympia’s multi-flue design uses a lighter-gauge lid than some competitors, and the 2021-2023 production run had a batch of welds that fatigue faster in freeze-thaw cycles. We inspect the frame for twist, replace the lid with a heavier-gauge aftermarket unit if needed, and verify the screen mesh isn’t pulling away at the corners.
• Crown wash on factory-built Olympia systems shrinks and spiders within 8-12 years. The factory sloped crown is poured thin and doesn’t always have enough Portland in the mix for Long Island’s wet winters. We grind back to sound concrete, apply a proper bonding agent, and rebuild with a 4:1:1 mix that sheds water instead of trapping it. In Northport’s older colonials near the village center, we’ve learned to check for crown-to-flue separation that’s hidden by the cap overhang.
• Chimney top dampers integrated with Olympia caps seize in the closed position. The cable-and-spring mechanism corrodes where it passes through the smoke chamber, especially if the homeowner burns unseasoned wood. We free the mechanism if possible, but we always quote a standalone replacement damper from Gelco or a top-sealing damper from Copperfield - sometimes the integrated design is more trouble than it’s worth.
• DIY-installed Olympia caps sit crooked or too low, causing blow-back and creosote staining. Homeowners buy the right cap but skip the leg leveling or use the wrong fasteners for their flue tile. We remove, reseat with stainless legs cut to equal length, and use expansion anchors that grip the flue walls without cracking them. We’ve done this exact correction on at least a dozen Northport homes where the cap was “fine” but the installation wasn’t.

Our Olympia Chimney Chimney Cap & Crown Process

1. 1
   Call and schedule. A live person answers, checks our Northport route, and books a window. We confirm you’ll be home for the camera walkthrough.
2. 2
   Level-2 camera inspection. Our tech runs a camera up the flue and photographs the crown from the roof. You see the footage on a tablet while we explain what we’re looking at. No verdict without evidence.
3. 3
   Parts decision. If your cap is a current Olympia SKU, we quote OEM. If it’s discontinued or we can source a better-fitting aftermarket unit from Gelco or Famco, we explain the trade-off. Same for crown coating versus rebuild - we use HeatShield CrownCoat only when the concrete substrate is sound, never as a cover-up.
4. 4
   Repair with the roof open. We remove the old cap, prep the crown surface, install the new assembly with proper clearances, and verify the screen doesn’t obstruct draft. For crown work, we form and pour or trowel-apply depending on depth of repair.
5. 5
   Post-repair test and documentation. Camera goes back up to confirm no debris fell, draft tests normal, and the new cap vents correctly. Photos go to your email with the invoice.
6. 6
   Cleanup and guarantee. We haul away the old cap. Your 90-Day Done Right Promise is already in force - in writing, no arguing. If something’s not right, we come back.
