Olympia Chimney Chimney Cap & Crown Nationwide

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

We provide independent Olympia Chimney chimney cap and crown service across Marietta, from standard cap swaps on the Olympia 1000 Series to full crown rebuilds on older Olympia 2000 multi-flue systems. Most Olympia Chimney cap and crown jobs we book run $280-$890 depending on whether we’re sealing a hairline crack or fabricating a new poured crown, and we put that price in writing before any ladder touches your siding. Camera first, quote second, work third - in that order, every time.

Call (470) 288-2763

This page is for Marietta homeowners who already know they have an Olympia Chimney cap or crown and need someone who understands the difference between a 1000 Series single-flue cap and a 2000 Series multi-flue unit without a tutorial. If you’re seeing rust streaks down your brick, hearing flapping in a windstorm, or noticing the crown surface has turned sandy, call (470) 288-2763. We answer live, 24/7.

How Olympia Chimney Products Fail - and How We Fix Them

• Olympia 1000 Series single-flue caps: The 24-gauge galvanized shell holds up well in Marietta’s humidity, but the spot-welded seam at the lid joint opens after 7-10 years. Water gets in, the mesh screen rusts from the inside out, and suddenly you’ve got a cap that looks fine from the yard but is dumping rain straight onto your flue tile. We pull the cap, inspect the flue for spalling, and install a replacement with a fully hemmed lid seam - OEM or Gelco aftermarket depending on what’s in stock through our Haven buying network.
• Olympia 2000 Series multi-flue caps: These wider units use a cross-braced support frame that can sag if the crown beneath it has settled even 1/4 inch. The cap itself doesn’t fail; the crown does, and the cap starts tilting, pooling water at the low corner. We see this constantly on the 2000-42 and 2000-48 models in East Cobb and along Lower Roswell Road where the freeze-thaw cycle is sharper than downtown Marietta. We level the crown first, then reset or replace the cap.
• Olympia stainless caps with factory mesh: The 304 stainless shell outlasts the house, but the 1/2-inch mesh that comes standard is too fine for Marietta’s heavy pollen season. It cakes with oak and pine pollen in April, chokes draft, and traps moisture against the flue liner. We swap to 5/8-inch or 3/4-inch mesh on replacement, or we can fabricate a custom cap with removable mesh panels through our Famco supplier.
• Olympia crown wash (factory-applied on some 1000 Series packages): This is a thin cementitious coating, not a structural crown, and it cracks predictably within 3-5 years in Georgia’s UV exposure. Homeowners call us thinking they need a cap when the real problem is the wash has delaminated and water is wicking through the crown substrate. We scrape to sound masonry, apply a proper 2-inch minimum crown slope with Portland-based mix, and top with a compatible cap.
• Olympia wind-band clamps on older caps: Pre-2015 Olympia caps used a stainless band clamp with a single worm screw. Marietta’s spring storms with 40+ mph gusts loosen these gradually; by year five or six the cap is sitting loose enough for squirrels to pry up. We replace with a two-band system or switch to a flue-top mount with set screws, depending on your flue tile condition.

Our Olympia Chimney Chimney Cap & Crown Process

1. 1
   Live answer and schedule: You call (470) 288-2763, we pick up. We book a window, text you the tech’s name and photo, and send another text when they’re en route.
2. 2
   NFPA 211 Level 2 inspection with camera: We run a camera down the flue before touching the cap or crown. Clause 4 of the Haven Standard requires a documented photo record on every job - we’ve done this since 2009. What we find determines whether you need a $320 cap swap or an $840 crown rebuild.
3. 3
   Written price, written scope, written warranty: Before any work starts, you get a single-page scope with line-item pricing and the 365-Day Done Right Promise stamped at the bottom. Haven Standard Clause 1: have it in writing.
4. 4
   Parts decision: If your Olympia cap is still in production, we’ll quote OEM. If it’s discontinued (the 1000-HD heavy-duty line ended in 2019), we source equivalent from Gelco or Famco through our Haven buying network and show you both options.
5. 5
   Repair and real-time documentation: Crown work gets poured to a 2-inch minimum slope with drip edge; cap installs get torque-checked band clamps or set-screw verification. We photograph every step.
6. 6
   Final camera pull and archive: We run the camera again post-repair to confirm no debris dropped into the flue. Your photo record goes into our archive and we email you a link. Payment is due only after you’ve reviewed the documentation.

Why Marietta Homeowners Call Emberly Chimney Cleaners Marietta for Olympia Chimney Work

We’ve inspected and cleaned more than 38,000 chimneys since 2009, and a healthy slice of those have been Olympia Chimney caps and crowns in Marietta neighborhoods from Whitlock Avenue to the newer builds off Bells Ferry. Corrine Halstead grew up working with her hands and brought that vocational training south - she knows the difference between a cap that needs tightening and a crown that’s been holding water for three seasons because she’s been on both roofs.

Our techs carry Olympia Chimney, DuraFlex, HeatShield, Gelco, and Famco parts on the truck when supply allows, so we’re not making two trips because your model uses a proprietary bolt pattern. Every job is backed by the 365-Day Done Right Promise: if it’s not done right, we make it right. And if another company already gave you a written estimate, we’ll review it for free - Haven Standard Clause 2.
