How Olympia Chimney Products Fail – and How We Fix Them

Olympia Chimney builds mostly stainless flue liners, chase covers, multi-flue caps, and termination components. The failure we see most often isn’t the Olympia product itself. It’s what the San Antonio climate does to the masonry and flashing around it. Here are the five patterns we repair regularly.

• Chase cover rust-through on zero-clearance installations. The Olympia chase cover sits on top of a wood-framed chimney chase. San Antonio’s summer heat cycles plus humidity eventually eat through even galvanized covers, and once water gets into the chase, the Olympia liner and insulation start corroding from the outside in. We remove the failed cover, inspect the liner crown, and replace with a fabricated stainless cover before resealing the flue termination.
• Flue liner corrosion at the cap seam. Olympia’s stainless flue liners hold up well, but the seam where the liner meets the cap or storm collar is a known weak point on older installs around Alamo Heights and Terrell Hills. Condensation from gas appliances has been dripping there for years, and eventually you get pitting and pinholes. We grind back the corroded section, splice in a matching stainless section, and reseal with high-temp compound.
• Mortar crown cracking from thermal shock. This is a masonry issue, not an Olympia defect, but it’s the repair we pair most often with Olympia liner work. San Antonio’s 100-degree afternoons followed by 60-degree nights expand and contract the crown until it cracks, and those cracks funnel water straight down alongside the flue. We repoint, rebuild, or waterproof the crown depending on depth.
• Spalling brick below the crown line. When water gets behind the brick face and freezes (yes, San Antonio gets freeze events), the brick face pops off in sheets. On older homes near Monte Vista and King William, we regularly see three to six courses of spalled brick above the roofline. We cut out the damaged brick, match it as closely as the market allows, reset, and repoint.
• Flashing separation at the roof line. The galvanized flashing that seals the chimney to the roof deck eventually lifts, especially on steep rooflines. Once it lifts, every San Antonio downpour sends water into the attic and down the chase. We remove old flashing, install step and counter flashing with proper overlap, and seal with a polyurethane caulk rated for Texas UV exposure.

Our Olympia Chimney Chimney Repair Process

Here’s what happens when you book an Olympia Chimney repair with us, from the first call to the final photo.

1. 1
   Book over the phone. A live person answers (254) 276-4116, collects the address and what you’re seeing (leak, smoke, crumbling brick), and schedules a window. You get live arrival tracking, not a four-hour guess.
2. 2
   Diagnostic inspection. The tech walks the flue with a camera, checks the crown, flashing, chase cover, and brick face. You get photos of everything. If your Olympia liner is corroded but the chase cover is fine, you’ll see proof of both.
3. 3
   Written price before work. We quote the repair in writing before anyone picks up a trowel. If the flue needs an aftermarket stainless splice instead of an Olympia OEM section, we tell you and explain why it’s rated for this application.
4. 4
   The repair. Mortar, flashing, waterproofing, liner section, or crown rebuild. On a typical repoint-and-flash job, one visit covers it. A full crown rebuild needs a return trip for cure time.
5. 5
   Test and document. We run the system (when safe), take before-and-after photos, and send a digital invoice you can pay from your phone.
6. 6
   365-Day Done Right Promise. Every Olympia Chimney repair carries a written one-year guarantee. If the repair fails within 365 days, the second visit is free.
