This page is for Sandy Springs homeowners who already have Olympia Chimney caps, crowns, liners, or flashing installed and need repair, not a sales pitch for replacement. If you’re seeing water stains on the ceiling near your fireplace, white efflorescence on exterior brick, or mortar dropping into the firebox, the fix is usually straightforward once we get a camera down the flue. Call (470) 480-0885 for a free estimate with a written scope.

How Olympia Chimney Products Fail - and How We Fix Them

• Olympia Chimney stainless steel liner collars loosen in freeze-thaw cycles. The Sandy Springs clay soil shifts slightly with winter cold snaps, and the compression-fit collar on Olympia’s standard flexible liner can work loose at the thimble connection. We find this most often in homes near the Chattahoochee River basin where groundwater fluctuates. Our fix: remove the collar, reseat with a proper mechanical fastening, and seal with high-temp silicone rated to 600°F - not the original friction fit alone.
• Olympia Chimney Gelco-series caps corrode at the weld seam after 7-10 years. The galvanized steel substrate holds up well until the powder coat micro-cracks at the seam, then Atlanta’s acid rain gets underneath. We spot this during camera inspection when rust flakes show up in the flue. Our fix: source a replacement Gelco cap through Haven’s buying network or, if the mesh is still sound, cut out the seam rot and fabricate a stainless patch with a 10-year weld warranty.
• Olympia Chimney crown wash cracks on south-facing exposures. The pre-mixed crown compound Olympia ships cures hard but has low tensile strength; afternoon sun on Sandy Springs roofs thermal-cycles it into map cracking within 4-6 years. Water gets in, freezes, and spalls the brick below. Our fix: grind out cracks to 1/4 inch, fill with CrownCoat flexible sealant, and slope the crown for positive drainage - we document the before-and-after with photos under Haven Standard Clause 4.
• Olympia Chimney DuraFlex liner sleeves delaminate at offset joints. In older Sandy Springs ranch homes with 90-degree offsets - common in the Abernathy Road corridor - the DuraFlex inner sleeve can separate from the outer wall where the elbow flexes during cleaning. Corrine Halstead has logged this exact failure on twelve homes in that neighborhood since 2019. Our fix: camera-locate the delamination, cut in an access panel if needed, and sleeve with a HeatShield Cerfractory foam plug or replace the offset section depending on severity.
• Olympia Chimney flashing kits gap at the step-flash transition. The standard kit uses a single-piece counterflashing that doesn’t account for the irregular brick courses common in Sandy Springs’ 1960s-70s construction. Wind-driven rain pushes through the gap, rots the roof deck, and stains the ceiling. Our fix: custom-fabricate step flashing in 10-inch galvanized or copper to match the roofline, counterflash with a two-piece reglet system, and seal with Geocel 3300 - we show you the gap on camera before quoting.

Our Olympia Chimney Chimney Repair Process

1. 1
   Call and schedule. A live person answers, checks availability in Sandy Springs - usually 3-5 days out - and sends a text confirmation with your technician’s name and photo.
2. 2
   NFPA 211 Level 2 inspection on arrival. We run a camera down the full flue length, photograph the crown, cap, flashing, and exterior brick courses. The camera doesn’t guess. Neither do we.
3. 3
   Written scope and price before any work. Haven Standard Clause 1: you get a written price, written scope, and written warranty before anyone picks up a trowel. No exceptions.
4. 4
   Parts decision: OEM Olympia Chimney or quality aftermarket. We stock DuraFlex, HeatShield, Gelco, and Famco components through Haven’s buying network. If your Olympia Chimney part is under manufacturer warranty, we’ll note it; if not, we quote the honest repair with whatever material meets the spec at the better price.
5. 5
   Repair and real-time documentation. Tech photographs each stage. You get the photo record, the warranty card, and the invoice before we leave. Haven Standard Clause 4 requires this archive; we’ve done it on every job since 2009.
6. 6
   365-Day Done Right Promise. If the repair fails, we make it right. The promise is stamped on every job, not buried in fine print.
