How Olympia Chimney Products Fail – and How We Fix Them

Olympia Chimney builds solid products, but Long Beach has a way of finding the weak spots. Salt air, morning marine layer, and the occasional earthquake put stress on any masonry chimney. Here’s what we actually see on Olympia Chimney systems in Long Beach neighborhoods from Belmont Heights to Bixby Knolls:

• Mortar joint erosion on Olympia Chimney masonry crowns. The crown (the concrete cap at the top of the chimney) takes direct hits from rain and salt spray. On Olympia Chimney crowns, we commonly see hairline cracks that let water seep into the mortar joints below. Fix: we grind out the failed joints and repoint with a mortar matched to your existing mix, then seal the crown.
• Flashing failure at the roofline. Olympia Chimney systems installed near the Long Beach waterfront face constant moisture. The galvanized flashing (the metal that seals the chimney to the roof) corrodes faster here than inland. We replace it with copper or heavy-gauge aluminum flashing, cut and fitted to the actual roofline, not a pre-made boot that leaves gaps.
• Spalling brick on older Olympia Chimney installations. Spalling is what happens when water gets inside the brick, then expands as it dries. The brick face pops off in flakes. We see this on Olympia Chimney systems in Long Beach homes built before 1985, where the original brick wasn’t sealed. Fix: remove and replace the damaged brick with matching material, then apply a breathable chimney waterproofing so moisture can escape but rain can’t get in.
• Chimney leaning after minor seismic activity. Long Beach sits on enough moving earth that even small shifts can tilt an unreinforced chimney. Olympia Chimney systems with taller stacks are more prone to this. We assess the lean angle, and if it’s structural, we do a partial or full rebuild with proper reinforcement. If it’s cosmetic, we tell you that too and save you the money.
• Waterproofing breakdown on Olympia Chimney systems with older sealants. Chimney waterproofing isn’t paint. The wrong sealant traps moisture inside the brick and makes spalling worse. On Olympia Chimney work, we use breathable masonry sealers rated for coastal climates, and we document the application date so you know when it’s due again.

Our Olympia Chimney Chimney Repair Process

Every Olympia Chimney repair in Long Beach follows the same sequence. No shortcuts, no surprises:

1. 1
   You call (562) 317-7262. A live person answers and books your visit. No voicemail tree.
2. 2
   We inspect the whole system. We don’t just look at the spot you called about. We check the crown, flashing, masonry, and liner condition, then give you a straight report on what needs work now and what can wait.
3. 3
   Written price, every time. Before any tool comes off the truck, you get a written scope and price. The number on that paper is the number on the invoice. If we find something else once we’re in the work, we stop and get your approval in writing before continuing.
4. 4
   Parts decision: OEM or proven aftermarket. Olympia Chimney parts are solid, but for some repairs, a DuraFlex or Copperfield component does the same job at a better price point. We lay out your options in plain terms, including warranty implications, and let you decide.
5. 5
   The repair. We do the work, clean up the site, and test the chimney draw before we leave.
6. 6
   Written guarantee. Every repair carries our 365-Day Done Right Promise. If a covered repair fails within a full year, we come back and fix it at no charge. That’s in writing.
