Key Takeaways

• We’re an independent Olympia Chimney service provider, not a factory rep. That means we tell you when a cheaper aftermarket part does the job fine and when OEM is worth the money.
• Quakertown freeze-thaw cycles destroy crowns faster than anything else. If your crown is flaking or spalled, the clock is running on the brick below it.
• Every job gets camera footage before and after. You’ll see what we saw.
• 90-Day Done Right Promise in writing. If it’s not right, one call brings Wendell back.

How Olympia Chimney Products Fail - and How We Fix Them

Olympia Chimney makes solid caps and crowns, but even good products fail in specific ways around here. Here’s what we actually see on Quakertown roofs:

• Olympia stainless multi-flue caps lifting at the corners. The factory corner brackets hold fine for a few years, but Bucks County wind loads and repeated freeze-thaw work the screws loose. We replace the hardware with heavier-gauge stainless fasteners and re-seat the cap so it doesn’t drum in a nor’easter.
• Galvanized base rust-through on older Olympia models. Some of the older standard caps used a galvanized skirt below the stainless hood. Road salt in the air and acid rain eat through that skirt in eight to ten years. The hood still looks fine from the ground, but the base is letting rain straight into the flue. We swap those for all-stainless replacements.
• Crown spalling on chimneys with Olympia caps installed but no crown slope correction. A cap keeps rain out of the flue, but it doesn’t protect the crown itself. We find plenty of Olympia caps doing their job while the crown underneath is cracking and holding water. The cap isn’t failing - the crown is. We repair both while we’re up there.
• Undersized caps on older Olympia installs. We’ve measured a fair number of original installs where the cap was sized to the liner, not to the outside dimension of the chimney. That leaves the crown exposed to direct rainfall on every side. The fix is a properly sized cap with a drip edge that sheds water past the crown, not onto it.
• Bird and squirrel entry through damaged Olympia mesh. The mesh on Olympia caps is decent, but once one strand breaks, starlings find their way in. Same thing with squirrels chewing through the corners. We see this most often on chimneys near the treeline along Tohickon Creek. We re-screen with stainless and seal the access points animals used to get that far.

Our Olympia Chimney Chimney Cap & Crown Process

Here’s how a typical job goes, start to finish:

1. 1
   Call and talk to a person. You call (484) 603-6713. We ask what you’re seeing - water stains, animal noise, visible rust, missing chunks of crown. We book a time that works for you, and we arrive with a real window, not a four-hour mystery slot.
2. 2
   On-site inspection with camera. Wendell or one of his crew gets on the roof, photographs the cap and crown, and runs a camera down the flue if there’s any question about what’s happening inside. You see the footage.
3. 3
   Parts decision, plain English. If an Olympia cap needs replacing, we tell you whether OEM is necessary or whether a quality aftermarket stainless cap from brands we stock - including DuraFlex, HeatShield, and Gelco lines - will do the job for less. No padding, no invented problems.
4. 4
   Repair or replacement. We remove the old cap, address any crown damage (patch, re-coat, or rebuild the affected section), install the new cap with proper fasteners and sealant, and verify the fit.
5. 5
   Test and document. We run the camera again if the flue was involved, walk you through the photos, and confirm the crown is shedding water properly.
6. 6
   Guarantee in writing. Every job gets the 90-Day Done Right Promise stamped on the invoice. If something’s not right, one call brings us back. No charge, no argument.

Why Quakertown Homeowners Call Top Hat Chimney for Olympia Chimney Work

Wendell Pike started Top Hat Chimney in 1999, and he’s been on more Quakertown roofs than he can count. The homes near Tohickon Creek, the ranchers off West Broad Street, the older stone chimneys in Richland Township - he’s seen all of them. The name on the truck is the name on the invoice. No third-party dispatch, no rotating crew of strangers. The sweep who shows up is background-checked, uniformed, and answers to Wendell personally. That matters when you’ve been burned by a national chain that quoted one price on the phone and a different one at the door. We also stock and service the other brands you might have on that chimney - DuraFlex, HeatShield, and Gelco - so if a repair calls for a mixed approach, we’re not walking away to order parts for three weeks. Standing offers apply to Olympia work: $40 off any repair over $200, no trip charge inside the county, and 10% off always for seniors and veterans. Your flue doesn’t care how the fire looks. It cares how it breathes.
