Olympia Chimney Chimney Repair in Olympia: What to Know First

We provide independent Olympia Chimney chimney repair in Olympia, typically scheduling within one to two weeks during off-peak months and three to five days when creosote buildup accelerates ahead of burning season. Most repairs run $340 to $1,850 depending on whether we’re repointing mortar joints, rebuilding a spalling crown, or replacing a failed Olympia Chimney liner section. A written price arrives before any work starts, every time, with no exceptions.

Call (360) 464-2015

This page is for Olympia homeowners who installed an Olympia Chimney liner, cap, or chase cover between 2015 and 2023 and are now seeing water stains, brick flakes, or draft problems. Corrine Halstead and our crew have worked on Olympia Chimney products across the South Sound, from the older FasNSeal series in Tumwater ranches to the newer FasNSeal W2 systems in newer Lacey builds. If you’re seeing symptoms, call (360) 464-2015. We’ll send a written estimate you can compare against any other.

How Olympia Chimney Products Fail - and How We Fix Them

• FasNSeal liner separation at the flex-to-rigid transition. The FasNSeal system uses a proprietary locking band that can back off after repeated thermal cycling, especially in Olympia’s wet winters where freeze-thaw accelerates metal fatigue. We find this most often in homes built 2016-2019. Our fix: camera confirmation of the gap location, then either an OEM Olympia Chimney locking band or a stainless mechanical clamp from our DuraFlex inventory if the flue geometry demands it. We document the before condition under Haven Standard Clause 4.
• FasNSeal W2 condensate pooling in low-slope runs. The W2’s higher efficiency produces more acidic condensate, and installers who didn’t maintain minimum slope per Olympia Chimney’s own spec (1/4 inch per foot) created low spots. We see this in Capitol Campus-area condos with horizontal termination runs. We re-pitch with rigid sections or install a condensate drain tee, then pressure-test to 0.5 inches water column.
• Olympia Chimney chase cover corner rust-through. Their galvanized chase covers, common on 2015-2018 builder-grade installs, rust at the drip-edge corners first, not the field. Olympia’s marine-layer mornings keep that corner moisture active year-round. We replace with a Gelco stainless chase cover or a custom-fabricated Copperfield unit with cross-break reinforcement, depending on chase dimensions.
• Spalling brick behind Olympia Chimney liner installations with inadequate clearance. When a FasNSeal liner is stuffed into a flue with less than the NFPA 211 required air space, the outer brick shell overheats and the face pops off. We find this in pre-1940s Olympia chimneys retrofitted during the 2017-2019 liner rush. Our repair: partial rebuild with matching brick, proper clearance verification with a borescope, and a documented photo record.
• Olympia Chimney cap mesh collapse from creosote weight. The standard 5/8-inch mesh on Olympia Chimney’s mid-grade caps traps heavy Class III creosote during shoulder-season burns, then the mesh sags into the flue opening. We see this in homes that burn unseasoned Douglas fir, which is most of Thurston County. We replace with a Gelco or Famco cap with 3/4-inch mesh and a removable top for cleaning access.

Our Olympia Chimney Chimney Repair Process

1. 1
   Call and schedule. A live person answers, 24/7. We ask for the Olympia Chimney model if you know it, the symptom, and the install year. We book a two-hour arrival window.
2. 2
   NFPA 211 Level 2 inspection. The camera goes in first. Everything else follows from what it finds. Corrine or a named technician runs a full flue scan, checks the crown, crown wash, flashing, and smoke chamber. You get the footage.
3. 3
   Written scope and price. Before any tool touches your chimney, we deliver a written price, written scope, and written warranty. Haven Standard Clause 1. No surprises.
4. 4
   Parts decision. If your FasNSeal needs a proprietary component, we source through our Olympia Chimney supply channel. If an aftermarket DuraFlex or HeatShield solution performs better for your specific failure, we explain the trade-off and let you choose. We never mark up parts secretly.
5. 5
   Repair and test. We execute the repair, then run a post-work camera pass and draft test. The photo record goes into your file under Haven Standard Clause 4.
6. 6
   Cleanup and documentation. You receive a completed work summary, warranty terms, and the photo archive. Payment is due only after you review and approve.
