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 Lansdale: What to Know First
We provide independent Olympia Chimney chimney cap and crown service in Lansdale, from cap replacement on a 304 stainless multi-flue unit to crown coating on a poured-concrete top that’s taken fifteen Pennsylvania winters. Most Olympia Chimney cap and crown jobs we book are completed in one visit, with a written price delivered before any work starts and a photo record uploaded by end of day. If you own an Olympia Chimney cap or crown and it’s leaking, rusting, or letting wildlife into the flue, call us at (267) 327-4785 for a free estimate. We’ll camera the flue, inspect the crown with a moisture meter, and hand you a written scope with exact numbers before we ask for a signature.
How Olympia Chimney Products Fail - and How We Fix Them
- Olympia Chimney 304 stainless single-flue caps: The mesh on these develops pinhole corrosion where Lansdale’s road salt aerosol settles on north-facing chimney faces, especially within a mile of Main Street traffic corridors. We see this as early as year six, not the advertised fifteen. We replace with either OEM 304 or upgrade to 316L marine-grade mesh if the flue serves a wood-burner that runs heavy Class III creosote loads.
- Olympia Chimney galvanized multi-flue caps: The factory powder coat on galvanized units fails at the drip edge first, usually where snow load sits longest. Once water reaches the galvanized substrate, the cap rusts from the inside out. We strip, prime with zinc-rich coating, and topcoat, or source a replacement through our Haven buying network if the metal’s too thin to save.
- Olympia Chimney poured-concrete crowns: These crack at the bond line where the crown meets the flue tile, not through random bad luck. Thermal cycling in Lansdale’s freeze-thaw zone opens hairlines every spring. We chase the crack with a grinder, inject flexible crown sealant, and overlay with a sloped SaverSystems CrownCoat that carries the water away from the flue.
- Olympia Chimney chase covers on prefab chimneys: The stamped steel versions pool water at the corners where the factory weld is ground flush. In Lansdale’s older townhome clusters off Valley Forge Road, we’ve found four of these rusted through at year eight. We fabricate a replacement with cross-breaks for positive drainage or source an Olympia-compatible aluminum unit through our Famco supply line.
- Olympia Chimney top-sealing dampers integrated with caps: The cable housing corrodes where it exits the cap frame, freezing the damper open or closed. This is a cap-and-damper combo failure, not two separate problems. We replace the cable assembly with a stainless housing or convert to a separate cap and throat damper if the frame geometry allows.
Our Olympia Chimney Chimney Cap & Crown Process

- 1
Call and schedule. A live person answers. We book a window, text you the tech’s name and photo, and send a “on the way” alert.
- 2
NFPA 211 Level 2 inspection. Camera down the flue, moisture meter on the crown, photo of every elevation. Corrine Halstead trained her crew to document the cap from the roof, not the ground, because the camera doesn’t guess. Neither do we.
- 3
Written price and scope. We source Olympia Chimney OEM parts when available and cost-effective, or specify quality aftermarket from Gelco or Famco when lead times or geometry demand it. You get the part number, the warranty term, and the total before anyone picks up a tool.
- 4
Repair or replacement. Crown work gets a minimum 48-hour cure window for sealants. Cap replacements are same-day if the part is in our Lansdale van stock or available from our Montgomery County supplier.
- 5
Post-work test and documentation. We run a smoke test or visual confirm on cap fit, upload photos to your job record, and stamp the 365-Day Done Right Promise. Clause 4 of the Haven Standard requires that photo record; we’ve done it on every job since 2009.

AfterWhat Olympia Chimney Chimney Cap & Crown Costs in Lansdale
| Service | Typical Range | What Moves the Price |
|---|---|---|
| Olympia Chimney cap replacement, single-flue 304 stainless | $340 - $580 | Flue size (8×8 vs. 13×13), mesh gauge, roof access difficulty |
| Olympia Chimney cap replacement, multi-flue galvanized | $480 - $820 | Overall dimensions, whether chase cover is integrated, custom fabrication needed |
| Crown repair with crack injection and coating | $420 - $760 | Crown square footage, number of flue penetrations, degree of spalling |
| Crown rebuild, poured concrete | $1,200 - $2,400 | Crown size, forming complexity, whether flue tiles need resetting |
| Chase cover replacement, prefab chimney | $680 - $1,100 | Material (galvanized vs. stainless vs. copper), cross-break welding, collar height |
These are Lansdale-market prices based on our 2024-2025 job data. We don’t quote over the phone without seeing the chimney, because a cap that measures 13×13 from the ground can be 11×11 at the flue tile after decades of mortar loss. Call (267) 327-4785 for an exact quote - estimates are free, and we deliver them in writing before any work starts.
Why Lansdale Homeowners Call Level Two Chimney Lansdale for Olympia Chimney Work

We’ve inspected and cleaned more than 38,000 chimneys since 2009, and a growing share of Lansdale’s inventory runs Olympia Chimney caps and crowns from the 2015-2020 building boom. Our techs know the difference between a 304 and 316L mesh without reading the stamp, and they carry both in the van. When Olympia Chimney OEM lead times stretch past burning season, we source equivalent-spec parts through our Haven buying network from DuraFlex, HeatShield, Gelco, and Famco - same warranty, honest price, no markup theater.
Every job gets the Haven Standard: written price before work starts (Clause 1), verified crew with license number displayed (Clause 2), arrive on schedule with text alerts (Clause 3), documented photo record (Clause 4), and the 365-Day Done Right Promise stamped on the invoice. We’re independently owned and operated, not a franchise, and Corrine Halstead still reviews every crown repair photo before it goes to the customer.
FAQs
No. As an independent Olympia Chimney service provider, we use OEM or equivalent-spec parts and document the work with photos and part numbers, which satisfies most manufacturer warranty requirements for cap and crown components. We are not affiliated with or authorized by Olympia Chimney, and we never imply otherwise. If your warranty claim requires dealer service, we’ll tell you before we start.
304 stainless caps typically show meaningful mesh degradation at 6-10 years in Lansdale, not the 15-year headline, because of freeze-thaw cycling and road salt exposure. Galvanized units often need attention at year 5-8. We camera and photo the condition so you can decide whether to coat, repair, or replace. Call (267) 327-4785 for an exact quote - estimates are free.
We repair crowns with intact structural concrete and surface cracking or minor spalling. If the crown has settled, separated from the flue tile, or lost more than 25% of its thickness to spalling, we recommend a full rebuild. We show you the camera footage and moisture readings, then quote both options in writing. Nothing is recommended without evidence you can see.
Common 304 stainless single-flue caps are in our Lansdale van stock or available next-day from our Montgomery County supplier. Multi-flue and custom chase covers typically run 3-7 business days. We never promise same-day dispatch, but we do book your inspection immediately and hold the parts order so work follows as soon as material arrives.
You can patch galvanized caps with rust-through smaller than a quarter, and crown hairlines under 1/16 inch, if the underlying structure is sound. We show you the photo, name the patch cost, and name the replacement cost. Most Lansdale homeowners choose replacement when the cap is past year 10, because the labor to patch often approaches half the cost of a new unit with a fresh warranty. Call (267) 327-4785 and we’ll camera it, price it, and let you decide.
