This page is for Olympia Chimney owners in Pottstown, Limerick, and the surrounding Montgomery County townships who have noticed crumbling mortar, water stains on the ceiling near the fireplace, or bricks flaking off the stack. If your chimney is over twenty years old and sits in one of these neighborhoods with heavy clay soil and freeze-thaw winters, the damage is usually worse than it looks from the ground. Call (610) 819-4281 and a live person will answer, any hour.

How Olympia Chimney Products Fail - and How We Fix Them

• Olympia Chimney Stainless Steel liner systems (310 alloy series) - The 310 alloy handles high-heat appliances well, but we’ve found the flex sections fatigue faster than rigid runs in Pottstown’s older homes, especially where the flue path has an offset near the smoke chamber. The symptom is a rattling draft or visible sag when we camera the flue. We replace the compromised flex with rigid Olympia-compatible sections, or transition to DuraFlex when the geometry demands it.
• Olympia Chimney Gelco-compatible caps (standard mesh models) - These caps seal well when new, but the mesh on earlier production runs corrodes at the weld points after seven to ten seasons of Montgomery County road salt and acid rain. Homeowners notice rust streaks down the brick or animals getting in. We source current-spec Gelco caps with upgraded 304 stainless mesh, or step to Copperfield when the flue size is non-standard.
• Olympia Chimney terra cotta flue tile surrounds (masonry chimneys) - The terra cotta itself is sound, but the mortar bedding fails in Pottstown’s freeze-thaw cycles, particularly on north-facing exposures that never fully dry. Spalling follows. We grind out to a 3/4-inch depth and repoint with HeatShield-compatible refractory mortar, matched to Olympia’s thermal expansion specs so the repair doesn’t shear off in year two.
• Olympia Chimney crown wash (poured concrete and pre-formed) - The factory crown mix is workable but thin; we’ve measured cracks appearing within four years on homes near the Schuylkill River where humidity swings are sharp. Water gets in, freezes, lifts the crown. We remove to sound substrate and pour a new crown with integrated drip edge, then seal with Olympia-approved waterproofing or step to HeatShield CrownCoat when the damage is too extensive for a pour.
• Olympia Chimney flashing kits (standard step and counter-flashing) - The aluminum base flashing works until it doesn’t, usually where the caulk joint meets brick in homes with cedar shake roofs common in the Pottsgrove area. The tell is a water stain on the ceiling board, often misdiagnosed as a roof leak. We remove the old flashing, install new step flashing laced into the courses, and counter-flash with copper or coated steel depending on what the roof line demands.

Our Olympia Chimney Chimney Repair Process

1. 1
   Call and schedule. A live person answers, 24 hours a day. We book a Level-2 camera inspection, usually within two business days in Pottstown.
2. 2
   Inspection and documentation. Our technician runs a camera the full flue length, photographs the exterior from the roof, and records mortar joint depth, brick spalling, and flashing condition. You see the photos. We explain what’s wrong and what can wait.
3. 3
   Parts decision. If the repair needs Olympia Chimney components, we source OEM when it matters for warranty or fit. When OEM is backordered or overpriced for the application, we specify quality aftermarket from DuraFlex, HeatShield, or Gelco, and we tell you which we’re using and why.
4. 4
   Repair execution. Most jobs finish in one visit. Repointing, flashing replacement, cap installation, or liner section replacement, we work clean and protect your roof and landscaping.
5. 5
   Post-repair test and report. We camera the flue again, verify draft and clearances, and leave you with photos, a plain-English summary, and the 90-Day Done Right Promise in writing.
6. 6
   Cleanup and follow-up. No debris left behind. We call within two weeks to confirm everything is performing as expected. If it’s not right, we make it right. In writing, no arguing.
