This page is for Olympia Chimney owners who need real repair work done. Not a sales pitch. Not a brand brochure. Just what we’ve learned pulling apart and putting back together Olympia Chimney liners, caps, and kits in Westchester County homes since 1999.

Key Takeaways

• Olympia Chimney products are common in Westchester County homes, especially their stainless steel liners and chimney covers.
• We’re an independent Olympia Chimney service provider. We are not affiliated with or authorized by Olympia Chimney, which means our only loyalty is to you.
• Most repairs we do are mortar, flashing, crown, and cap failures around the Olympia Chimney component, not the component itself.
• We stock common Olympia Chimney compatible parts and can source OEM fast when a job calls for it.
• Free estimates, no trip charge inside Westchester County, and a 90-Day Done Right Promise on every job.

How Olympia Chimney Products Fail - and How We Fix Them

Olympia Chimney builds solid stainless steel liner systems and accessories. The steel is good. The failures we see in Westchester County are almost always where the Olympia product meets the house: the flashing, the crown, the mortar joints, or the masonry itself. Here’s what actually goes wrong.

• Flashing leaks around Olympia liner terminations. The transition point where an Olympia stainless liner exits the top of the chimney is exactly where water finds its way in. We see this on the Olympia stainless liner kits installed in older Westchester County masonry chimneys. The fix is usually removing the old flashing, repairing the surrounding mortar if it’s crumbled, and reinstalling with proper step flashing and a storm collar that actually sheds water instead of holding it against the brick.
• Spalling brick below the cap on Olympia-topped chimneys. Westchester County winters are hard on brick. Freeze-thaw cycles push water into the brick face, and when it freezes, the face pops off. Homes with Olympia chimney covers still get this below the cap line. We cut out the damaged brick, match it as close as the brickyard allows, and repoint the surrounding joints so the repair blends rather than looking like a patch.
• Crown cracking around Olympia cap bases. The crown slab that supports an Olympia chimney cap takes a beating from sun, snow, and rain. When it cracks, water pools at the base of the cap and works into the flue. We rebuild crowns with a proper slope away from the flue and a drip edge, then remount the Olympia cap on a waterproofed base. The cap itself is usually fine. Its seat is not.
• Mortar joint erosion in older Westchester County chimneys that were retrofitted with Olympia liners. Lining an old chimney with Olympia stainless does nothing for the brick holding it up. We regularly see original lime mortar from 1960s-era houses near Teatown Lake Reservation that has turned to sand behind the liner. Repointing with a compatible mortar restores the stack’s strength without trapping moisture behind the brick.
• Replacement caps for discontinued Olympia cap models. Olympia has changed their chimney cover designs over the years. Some older multi-flue Olympia caps are no longer made. When we hit that, we measure the flue spacing and fabricate a replacement that fits the opening properly, rather than clamping on a generic cover that rattles in the wind and lets rain in around the edges.

Here’s what an Olympia Chimney owner cannot easily learn from the manufacturer’s site: the most common failure we repair on their products in Westchester County is not the stainless steel at all. It’s the masonry interface. And the second most common is water entry through flashing details that were never correct in the first place. Knowing that changes what we look for first.

Our Olympia Chimney Chimney Repair Process

1. 1
   You call and talk to a live person. Not a call center. We ask what you’re seeing, and we schedule a time that works. If anything slips, we call you before you’re standing at the window wondering where we are.
2. 2
   On-site inspection with camera. Wendell or a member of his crew goes up on the roof, drops a camera down the flue, and photographs everything that matters. You see the footage. You don’t just hear about it.
3. 3
   Plain-English verdict. We show you what’s wrong, what it costs to fix, and whether any of it can wait. If it doesn’t need doing, we tell you that too. No exceptions.
4. 4
   Parts decision. For Olympia-specific components, we use genuine Olympia parts when the warranty matters or the fit is precise. For generic components like flashing, mortar, and crowns, we use materials chosen for how they perform in Westchester County weather, not for what’s easiest to truck in.
5. 5
   The repair. Our crew handles the masonry, the flashing, the cap reset, or whatever the camera showed. The work is done the same way we’d do it on our own houses, because Wendell runs into you again on Saturday.
6. 6
   The test and the guarantee. We verify water is staying out and draft is moving. Every job carries the 90-Day Done Right Promise in writing. If something’s not right, one call brings us back at no additional cost.

What Olympia Chimney Chimney Repair Costs in Westchester County

Prices vary by the size of the problem, the height and pitch of the roof, and whether we’re repairing masonry, flashing, or a component. These are the ranges we quote most often for Olympia Chimney owners in Westchester County.

What moves the price is access. Three-story homes in Croton-on-Hudson with a steep roof pitch cost more than a single-story ranch in Yorktown Heights where you can practically step onto the chimney from the lawn. The material cost is rarely the driver. The labor and the ladder work are. Estimates are free, and we give you a number before a single tool comes off the truck. Call (914) 537-6479 and we’ll come look.

Why Westchester County Homeowners Call Top Hat Chimney for Olympia Chimney Work

Most of the people who call us have already been through the wringer with someone else. A national chain sent a stranger who quoted one price on the phone and another at the door. Or they recommended a new liner when a crown repair would have solved it. Wendell Pike built Top Hat Chimney in 1999 on a simple idea: show up on time, tell people exactly what you find, and don’t recommend work that isn’t needed.

We’ve been inside more Westchester County chimneys than we can count, including plenty of older stone-and-brick homes up near the Teatown Lake Reservation area where fireplaces see real use every winter. We know Olympia Chimney products, and we also work with DuraFlex, HeatShield, and Gelco when a job calls for a different material or when a homeowner has a mixed system. Your flue doesn’t care how the fire looks. It cares how it breathes. And we’ll show you the camera footage so you can see exactly what’s going on.

Ask anyone on your street. Chances are someone knows Wendell or has his number pinned to the fridge.

FAQs

Does my Olympia Chimney warranty cover the repair? It depends on what failed and how long ago the component was installed. Olympia Chimney warranties cover manufacturing defects in their stainless steel products, not installation errors or masonry failures around them. We see far more installation and water-entry problems than actual steel defects. Bring us your paperwork and we’ll tell you honestly whether a warranty claim makes sense before you spend a dime on labor.

Can you fix my Olympia Chimney product the same week? In most cases, yes. Weather and roof conditions sometimes push things a day or two, but we’re not booking a month out. Call (914) 537-6479 and we’ll give you a real arrival window, not a vague “sometime between now and spring.”

Is it worth repairing my Olympia Chimney product, or should I replace it? The steel components usually outlast the masonry around them. If your Olympia liner is physically intact and the problem is flashing, mortar, or crown, repair is usually the smarter money. If the steel itself is warped, corroded through, or the wrong size for your appliance, replacement may be the honest call. We’ll show you the camera footage and let you decide with real information, not pressure.

Do you use genuine Olympia Chimney parts? When the warranty matters or the fit demands it, yes. For generic surrounding materials like flashing, mortar, and crowns, we use products selected for how they hold up in Westchester County’s weather. We’ll always tell you which is which and why.
