Level 1 sweep and inspection to the NFPA 211 annual standard - flue, crown, cap, and flashing checked and photographed
Chimney sweep logs do not sweep chimneys. They loosen some creosote - which then falls where a brush and vacuum still have to collect it.
Olympia Chimney Chimney Cap & Crown in Kennesaw: What to Know First
We provide independent Olympia Chimney chimney cap & crown service in Kennesaw, from cap replacement on the Pro-Zone series to crown coating on older 304 stainless installs. Most jobs are quoted same visit and completed within a week, with a written price before any work starts and a documented photo record when we’re done. We’re not affiliated with or authorized by Olympia Chimney; we service their products as an independent Olympia Chimney service provider with parts sourced through our Haven buying network.
This page is for Kennesaw homeowners who see rust streaks down the flue, hear water dripping after storms, or were told their cap is “fine” while the crown underneath crumbles. If you own an Olympia Chimney cap or crown and want to know what it actually needs before someone starts selling you a full rebuild, call (678) 535-2204. Estimates are free, and we bring the camera.
How Olympia Chimney Products Fail - and How We Fix Them
- Pro-Zone series: base rail rust-through at the flue tile interface. The Pro-Zone’s galvanized base rail sits directly on porous clay flue tile in many Kennesaw installs from 2015-2019. Condensation wicks between metal and masonry, and the rail corrodes from the bottom up while the mesh still looks fine. We pull the cap, document the rail with the camera, and source a replacement through our Haven network. If the flue tile is chipped, we bed the new cap in high-temp silicone rather than repeating the same contact point.
- 304 stainless multi-flue caps: lid sag on spans over 24 inches. Olympia’s 304 stainless lids look substantial but can dish slightly across wide flue banks, especially on the two-story colonials near Kennesaw Mountain where prevailing wind hits the ridge head-on. Water pools, accelerates creosote wash, and stains the brick below. We measure the span with the cap off, and if the lid has lost structural memory, we spec a 316L upgrade or add a center support rib - not just another 304 lid that’ll do the same thing in four years.
- Crown wash failure under factory-built chase caps. Olympia’s chase caps seal well at the flue, but the crown wash beneath them in Kennesaw’s clay-heavy soil zone often cracks from seasonal heave. Homeowners blame the cap; we run the camera up the chase and find the real entry point. Our fix is crown coating with a flexible, breathable sealant after structural repair, not another cap on top of a failed crown.
- Single-flue clamp caps: wind uplift on exposed flues. The standard Olympia clamp cap works until it doesn’t - usually after the screws back out from thermal cycling or the mesh gets impacted with Class III creosote, that hard, tarry buildup that doesn’t brush off. We find this regularly in Kennesaw homes that burn seasoned oak but never open the damper fully. We clean the flue first, then install a new cap with stainless hardware and a proper draw test.
- Early Gelco-era transition caps: incompatible mesh gauge. Some Olympia Chimney caps from the Gelco supply years use 5/8-inch mesh that meets code but clogs with cottonwood seed in spring - a real problem in Kennesaw’s older neighborhoods where those trees are mature. We upgrade to 3/4-inch mesh where code allows, or add a removable screen insert for seasonal cleaning.
Our Olympia Chimney Chimney Cap & Crown Process

- 1
Call and schedule. A live person answers, checks availability, and notes your Olympia Chimney model if you know it. We don’t do voicemail queues.
- 2
NFPA 211 Level 2 inspection on arrival. Camera down the flue, photos of the cap and crown from the roof and the firebox. Corrine Halstead’s standing rule: we won’t leave a homeowner guessing about what they’re looking at.
- 3
Written price, written scope, written warranty. We write it down before we ask you to decide anything. Haven Standard Clause 1 - the price is fixed before work starts, not after the tech is already on your roof.
- 4
Parts decision: OEM Olympia or quality aftermarket. We stock common Olympia caps through our Haven buying network. If your model is discontinued or the OEM lead time runs long, we source equivalent 316L stainless from Famco or Copperfield with matching warranty terms. You see the part before it goes on.
- 5
Install and test. Cap seated, crown coated or repaired, draw test run, combustion zone checked. Photos of the completed work uploaded to your record.
- 6
Cleanup and documentation. You get the written warranty, the photo archive, and our 365-Day Done Right Promise. Haven Standard Clause 4 requires that documented record - we’ve done it on every job since 2009.

Why Kennesaw Homeowners Call Level Two Chimney Kennesaw for Olympia Chimney Work

We’ve inspected and cleaned more than 38,000 chimneys since 2009, and the ones in Kennesaw keep us honest - the older colonials with shifted flues, the new construction with chase caps that never got sealed right, the Pro-Zone installs that looked good on paper and showed rust in year six. Our techs are background-checked, uniformed, and assigned by name; you get a text when they’re on the way. If something’s not done right, we make it right - that’s the 365-Day Done Right Promise, stamped on every job. And if another company handed you a quote that doesn’t sit right, bring it in. Our Free Second Opinion on any written estimate is Haven Standard policy, not a favor.
We also carry DuraFlex, HeatShield, and Gelco materials, so an Olympia Chimney cap job doesn’t turn into a referral shuffle if the flue liner or smoke chamber needs attention too. One crew, one visit, one written record.
FAQs
No - the original equipment warranty on most Olympia Chimney caps expired with time and weather exposure, not with service. As an independent Olympia Chimney service provider, we use parts that match or exceed OEM specs, and our 365-Day Done Right Promise covers the installation itself. If your cap is under an extended warranty, we’ll note that before ordering and advise accordingly. Call (678) 535-2204 to check your situation.
Usually yes - we source through our Haven buying network, which includes Famco and Copperfield equivalents with matching 316L stainless specs. For truly odd sizes, we measure on-site and fabricate or custom-order. We never leave you with a flue open to weather while waiting on a part. Call (678) 535-2204 and we’ll confirm availability for your model.
Pull the cap and look, or let us do it with the camera. Water stains on the firebox walls, efflorescence on the exterior brick below the crown line, or a crown that sounds hollow when tapped - these mean the crown is compromised. A new cap on a bad crown just hides the problem for another season. We show you the footage and quote both scenarios so you decide with the facts. Call (678) 535-2204 for a free estimate.
If the crown has active cracks wider than a nickel, or if water is entering the flue, waiting risks liner damage and smoke chamber deterioration - repairs that cost multiples of crown work. If the cracks are hairline and the flue is dry, we may recommend monitoring with a re-inspection in 12 months. We don’t sell urgency; we sell what the camera shows. Call (678) 535-2204 and we’ll tell you which category you’re in.
Most single-flue replacements take 90 minutes to two hours from ladder set to draw test. Multi-flue caps or crown-coating jobs run three to four hours. We book by the job, not the hour, so the price doesn’t change if your flue tile needs extra bedding work. You’ll know the time estimate in writing before we start. Call (678) 535-2204 to schedule.
