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 Chesterbrook: What to Know First
We provide independent Olympia Chimney chimney cap & crown service in Chesterbrook, with most cap replacements and crown repairs completed in a single scheduled visit. A written price arrives before any work starts, and every job includes a camera-scan inspection with a documented photo record under Clause 4 of the Haven Standard. This page is for Chesterbrook homeowners who own an Olympia Chimney product and need to know whether the cap is keeping water out, whether the crown is cracked, and what fixing either one actually costs. Call (484) 806-9176 for a free estimate.
How Olympia Chimney Products Fail - and How We Fix Them
- Olympia Chimney Pro-Select and Pro-Fit caps: The mesh on these series can sag after 5-7 Pennsylvania winters, especially where Chesterbrook’s freeze-thaw cycles accelerate metal fatigue. Water pools on the sagging mesh, rusts the base ring, and the cap starts funneling water straight down the flue instead of deflecting it. We replace with a Gelco or Famco equivalent that matches the flue diameter exactly, or source OEM if the original mounting hardware is still intact.
- Olympia Chimney multi-flue caps with integrated spark arrestors: The welded seams at the arrestor box split on homes near the Chesterbrook Corporate Center corridor, where wind exposure across the open terrain is higher than in wooded parts of Chester County. Once the seam opens, embers escape and rainwater enters. We remove the cap, document the seam failure with the camera, and install a replacement with reinforced corner welding.
- Olympia Chimney standard concrete crowns: These are poured to a 2-inch overhang specification, but the concrete mix Olympia used in production runs through 2019 was prone to spalling when saturated and frozen repeatedly. We see this on Chesterbrook colonials built in the 2015-2018 window. Our repair is a CrownCoat or HeatShield application after grinding out the spalled surface, or a full pour-back if the structural integrity is gone.
- Olympia Chimney chase covers on prefab units: The galvanized steel versions rust through at the drip edge first, usually where leaves collect on roofs with shallow pitches common in Chesterbrook townhome clusters. Water stains the siding below. We replace with a copper or stainless option from Copperfield, measured on-site, with a cricket or diverter if the roof geometry demands it.
- Olympia Chimney wind-directional caps: The rotating collar seizes after seasons of ice accumulation, leaving the flue open to driving rain from the northwest, which hits Chesterbrook hard in March and November. We free the mechanism where possible, but most owners opt for a replacement with a fixed hood and external spark arrestor, which eliminates the moving part entirely.
Our Olympia Chimney Chimney Cap & Crown Process

- 1
Schedule and scope confirmation. When you call (484) 806-9176, a live person answers, confirms your Olympia Chimney model if you know it, and books a window. You get a text when your tech is en route.
- 2
NFPA 211 Level 2 inspection with camera. We run the camera down the flue before touching the cap or crown. The camera doesn’t soften the finding. Neither do I. Corrine Halstead and our Chesterbrook crew have documented thousands of these scans since 2009.
- 3
Written price, written scope, written warranty. Before any tool comes out, you receive a fixed price for the exact work, the parts specified (OEM Olympia Chimney or quality aftermarket from our DuraFlex, HeatShield, Gelco, or Famco inventory), and the warranty term. This is Clause 1 of the Haven Standard: have it in writing.
- 4
Cap or crown service. For caps, we remove the failed unit, inspect the flue tile or liner top for hidden damage, and install the replacement with proper clearance and fastening. For crowns, we grind, clean, apply bonding agent, and pour or coat to spec.
- 5
Post-work camera verification and photo record. We camera the flue again to confirm no debris fell during the repair, then deliver your documented photo record under Clause 4 of the Haven Standard.
- 6
365-Day Done Right Promise activation. If anything about the cap or crown fails to perform as specified, we make it right. The promise is stamped on every job.

AfterWhat Olympia Chimney Chimney Cap & Crown Costs in Chesterbrook
| Service | Typical Range | What Moves the Price |
|---|---|---|
| Olympia Chimney single-flue cap replacement (standard mesh) | $340-$580 | Flue diameter, height of roof, stainless vs. galvanized |
| Olympia Chimney multi-flue cap replacement | $620-$1,100 | Width of chase, custom vs. stock dimensions, spark arrestor spec |
| Crown coating (HeatShield or CrownCoat) | $480-$760 | Linear feet of crack, depth of spalling, need for grinding |
| Full crown pour-back | $1,400-$2,400 | Chimney footprint, forming complexity, access difficulty |
| Chase cover replacement (prefab units) | $890-$1,650 | Material (galvanized, stainless, copper), diverter/cricket required |
These are Chesterbrook-specific ranges based on our 2024-2025 jobs in the 19087 ZIP and nearby. A steep roof over a two-story colonial adds labor time. A cap on a three-flue chase in one of the townhome clusters near Chesterbrook Corporate Center takes longer to measure and fit. Every estimate is free, every price is written, and nothing is recommended without camera evidence you can see for yourself. Call (484) 806-9176.
Why Chesterbrook Homeowners Call Level Two Chimney Chesterbrook for Olympia Chimney Work

We are an independent Olympia Chimney service provider, not a factory-authorized dealer. That distinction matters because we source parts through our Haven buying network across DuraFlex, HeatShield, Gelco, Olympia Chimney, Famco, and Copperfield, which keeps customer prices honest and lets us recommend what actually fits the failure, not what a single brand’s catalog limits us to.
Our Chesterbrook crew knows the local rooflines, the wind patterns off the Corporate Center corridor, and the freeze-thaw cycle that chews through caps faster here than in sheltered valleys. Every tech is background-checked, uniformed, and arrives with license information displayed. The 365-Day Done Right Promise, the written price before work starts, and the documented photo record on every visit are not marketing language. They are Clauses 1 and 4 of the Haven Standard, practiced continuously since 2009 across more than 38,000 chimney inspections and cleanings.
FAQs
No. Installing a compatible aftermarket cap does not void any remaining manufacturer’s warranty on the flue or fireplace unit itself, provided the replacement maintains proper clearances and does not alter the flue geometry. We document all measurements and clearances in your photo record. If you are concerned about a specific warranty term, bring us the paperwork during your free estimate and we will read it with you. Call (484) 806-9176.
Most single-flue cap replacements are completed in 90 minutes to two hours, including the pre- and post-work camera inspection. Multi-flue caps or chase covers on prefab units may take three to four hours if custom measurements are needed. We book by the job, not by the hour, so the price does not change if access is trickier than expected. Call (484) 806-9176 to schedule.
Many Olympia Chimney crowns can be coated if the structural concrete is sound and cracks are surface-level. We grind out the crack, apply a bonding wash, and top-coat with HeatShield or CrownCoat. If the crown is spalled deeply, separated from the flue tile, or sloped toward the flue instead of away from it, a full pour-back is the honest recommendation. The camera and photos show you which category you are in before any decision. Call (484) 806-9176 for a free estimate.
We carry common Olympia Chimney cap sizes and compatible replacements from Gelco and Famco in our Chesterbrook-area inventory. Uncommon multi-flue dimensions or custom chase covers are typically ordered with a 3-5 business day turnaround. We do not charge a second trip fee for parts delivery; the written price covers the complete job. Call (484) 806-9176 to confirm availability for your model.
The NFPA 211 standard calls for annual inspection of all chimney systems, and in Chesterbrook’s climate, we agree. A cap can look fine from the ground while the mesh is rusted through, and crown cracks often start hairline-thin before Pennsylvania’s freeze-thaw cycles open them wide. Our Level 2 camera inspection catches what visual checks miss. The 38,000+ inspections in our archive include plenty of caps that passed a flashlight look and failed the camera. Call (484) 806-9176 to book.
