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 Fort Worth: What to Know First
We provide independent Olympia Chimney chimney cap and crown service in Fort Worth, typically turning cap replacements around in one visit and crown repairs in one to two days once we have photos. Every job starts with a written price on paper before work begins, not after we’re on your roof. If you own an Olympia Chimney stainless steel or galvanized cap, or you’re dealing with crown seepage around an Olympia flue, we’re the crew that knows which factory specs matter and which ones Fort Worth weather overrides.

How Olympia Chimney Products Fail - and How We Fix Them
- Olympia Chimney stainless steel single-flue caps - mesh screen collapse. The 304-grade mesh on older Olympia single-flue units thins faster than the cap body in Fort Worth’s hail corridor, especially in neighborhoods like Mistletoe Heights and Berkeley Place where mature oaks drop acorns through spring. We see screens rusted through at the weld points while the lid still looks fine. We replace with either Olympia OEM mesh or a heavier 316-grade aftermarket screen if the customer wants longer service life.
- Olympia Chimney galvanized multi-flue caps - lid separation at the rib seam. The galvanized multi-flue line uses a rolled rib to stiffen the lid, and that seam is where Fort Worth’s thermal cycling does its damage. After five or six summers, the rib cracks and the lid drums in high wind. We can re-seam and re-rivet for a season, but we usually recommend stepping to stainless at replacement.
- Olympia Chimney draft-inducing caps - bearing seizure in the spinner. The rotating draft cap relies on a bronze bushing that seizes when creosote dust works into the race, common in Fort Worth homes that burn seasoned post oak six months a year. A seized spinner over-pressurizes the flue and drives smoke into the house. We pull the cap, clean the bearing race, and replace the bushing, or swap to a static Olympia cap if the customer doesn’t need the draft assist.
- Crown wash failure under Olympia Chimney multi-flue caps. Olympia’s multi-flue caps cover a wide footprint, and the crown wash beneath them often wasn’t poured with enough slope or overhang when the home was built. Water pools at the cap perimeter, freezes two or three times each Fort Worth winter, and spalls the crown edge. We remove the cap, grind back to sound concrete, re-pitch the crown with proper drip edge, then re-seat the cap with new anchor bolts.
- Olympia Chimney wind-directional cap - vane pin corrosion. The wind-directional line uses a zinc-plated steel pin that holds the vane; in Fort Worth’s humid summers, that pin can seize or shear. Once the vane sticks, the cap becomes a static obstruction that can back-puff during gusts. We replace the pin with a stainless rod and bronze bushing, or convert to a standard rain cap if the directional feature isn’t critical to the draft.
Our Olympia Chimney Chimney Cap & Crown Process

- 1
Call and photo intake. You describe the cap or crown issue; we ask for cell phone photos if you can safely get them from ground level or a window. This lets us pre-order Olympia parts or confirm aftermarket equivalents before dispatch.
- 2
NFPA 211 Level 2 inspection on arrival. Our tech runs the camera down the flue, checks the crown with a moisture meter, and photographs the cap from the roof. Corrine Halstead trained every crew lead to document the liner condition, crown integrity, and cap attachment in one pass.
- 3
Written scope and price. Before anyone touches a tool, you get a written price, written scope, and written warranty. Clause 1 of the Haven Standard requires it. No exceptions.
- 4
Parts decision: OEM or aftermarket. If your Olympia cap is under warranty, we use Olympia OEM and document the install for your records. If the warranty has aged out, we quote both Olympia OEM and our 316-grade aftermarket option sourced through Haven’s buying network. You choose.
- 5
Repair or replacement with photo record. Crown work gets ground, re-poured or coated, and cured to spec. Cap work gets proper anchor torque and sealant at the flue interface. Every step is photographed.
- 6
Final scan and documentation. We run the camera again to confirm draft and clearances, then deliver your photo record and warranty paperwork. Clause 4 of the Haven Standard requires the documented record; we’ve done it on every job since 2009.

Why Fort Worth Homeowners Call Level Two Chimney Fort Worth for Olympia Chimney Work

We’ve inspected and cleaned more than 38,000 chimneys since 2009, and a growing share of the Fort Worth inventory runs Olympia Chimney hardware from the 2015-2020 new-construction wave. Our techs know the difference between the galvanized line and the stainless line without climbing down to check the stamp. When Olympia parts are back-ordered, we have DuraFlex, HeatShield, and Gelco equivalents in our Haven buying network, so you’re not waiting three weeks for a mesh screen.
The 365-Day Done Right Promise covers every cap and crown job. If it leaks, shifts, or fails, we make it right. Background-checked, uniformed technicians, license number on the page, a named tech assigned, and a text when they’re on the way. The camera doesn’t lie - and neither does the written estimate.
FAQs
No. As an independent Olympia Chimney service provider, we install OEM parts to factory spec and document the work for your warranty file. We are not affiliated with or authorized by Olympia Chimney, but warranty coverage hinges on proper installation and documentation, not on who holds the dealer badge. We provide both.
Most single-flue and standard multi-flue cap replacements take two to three hours from ladder set to final photo. Crown work adds a day for cure time if we’re coating, or two days for a full rebuild. We book the return trip before we leave, and you’ll get a text when the tech is en route.
We repair crowns with surface cracking and minor spalling using a bonded crown coat system. If the concrete is cracked through to the flue tile or the steel reinforcement is exposed, we rebuild. The camera and moisture meter tell the difference, and we show you the photos before quoting either option.
Olympia Chimney stocks through regional distributors with typical lead times of three to five business days for standard caps. We keep common stainless single-flue and multi-flue sizes in our Fort Worth warehouse through the Haven buying network, so most replacements happen same-week. Custom or wind-directional caps may need the full lead time.
Every twelve months, per NFPA 211, or after any hail event that dents roof vents or gutters. Fort Worth’s spring hail and summer thermal cycling age caps faster than the national average. An annual Level 2 inspection catches mesh fatigue and crown wash cracks before water reaches the flue liner. Call (682) 499-2712 to schedule - estimates are free.
