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 Denton: What to Know First
We provide independent Olympia Chimney chimney cap and crown service in Denton, typically scheduling within 3-5 business days and delivering a written price before any work starts. Most Olympia Chimney cap replacements and crown repairs run $280-$650 depending on flue count and access, with full crown rebuilds ranging higher when the concrete shell has deteriorated past coating. We’re not affiliated with or authorized by Olympia Chimney; we work on their products as an independent Olympia Chimney service provider using quality OEM and aftermarket parts sourced through our Haven buying network.
This page is for Denton homeowners who’ve identified an Olympia Chimney cap, crown, or top-mounted component that needs attention - whether it’s a leaking single-flue cap on a Rancher series install near South Lakes or a cracked crown on an older Olympia multi-flue system in Cooper Creek. Call (940) 373-6912 for a free estimate. The camera doesn’t guess - and neither do I.
How Olympia Chimney Products Fail - and How We Fix Them
- Galvanized Rancher series caps rust through at the seams in 4-7 years. Denton’s combination of hard water runoff and occasional hail drives moisture into the rolled edges faster than the factory coating can handle. We see this on Rancher caps installed 2015-2019 throughout the Rayzor Ranch and Northpointe areas. Our fix: remove the failed cap, assess the flue tile condition underneath, and install a stainless replacement - either Olympia-branded or a Gelco equivalent with a lifetime warranty.
- Multi-flue cap screens clog with cottonwood debris every May-June. Olympia’s multi-flue caps with 3/4-inch mesh were spec’d for spark control, not Denton’s dense airborne seed load. The restriction chokes draft and drives smoke back into the firebox. We clean the screen in place when possible, or upsize to 5/8-inch mesh where code allows, documenting the change on your Haven Standard photo record.
- Crown coating on Olympia systems cracks at the flue tile interface. Olympia’s factory crown coat is a portland-based slurry that doesn’t flex with thermal cycling. After three Denton summers, hairline cracks open at the flue tile penetration and funnel water straight to the smoke chamber. We grind back to sound concrete, apply a flexible polymer-modified crown coat (HeatShield CrownCoat or equivalent), and flash the flue tile joint with a silicone transition - not another rigid patch.
- Chimney chase covers on Olympia factory-built units dish and pond. The galvanized chase tops shipped with Olympia’s 36-inch and 42-inch factory-built units from 2012-2018 were stamped flat, not crowned. Water sits, rusts from the center out, and stains the chase siding before owners notice. We fabricate a replacement from 24-gauge stainless with a 2-inch crown and cross-break, or source a Copperfield pre-formed unit when dimensions match.
- Spalling concrete crowns expose rebar on older Olympia installs. Pre-2010 Olympia chimney packages in Denton’s original 1970s-1980s neighborhoods often used unreinforced or minimally reinforced crowns that flake in freeze-thaw. Once rebar rusts and expands, the crown is structurally done. We form and pour a new 4-inch minimum crown with welded wire mesh, sloped 1/4-inch per foot, with a 2-inch drip edge - documented before and after under Haven Standard Clause 4.
Our Olympia Chimney Chimney Cap & Crown Process

- 1
Call and schedule. A live person answers 24/7. We book a 2-hour arrival window and text when your tech is en route.
- 2
NFPA 211 Level 2 inspection with camera. We run a chimney camera to inspect the flue liner, smoke chamber, and firebox before touching the cap or crown. Clause 4 of the Haven Standard requires this photo record on every job - we’ve done it since 2009.
- 3
Written price, written scope, written warranty. Before any work starts, you get a flat price with line items, the scope spelled out, and warranty terms. No surprises, no post-work invoice bumps.
- 4
Parts decision: OEM or quality aftermarket. We stock Olympia Chimney caps where available through our buying network, but won’t wait two weeks for a branded part when a Gelco or Famco equivalent meets spec and ships faster. You see both options priced.
- 5
Repair or replacement with documentation. Tech photographs each stage: old part removed, substrate condition, new install, water test where applicable.
- 6
Final walkthrough and archived record. You review the photos with the tech, sign the completion doc, and we archive everything for your next inspection. The 365-Day Done Right Promise applies from this moment.

Why Denton Homeowners Call Emberly Chimney Cleaners Denton for Olympia Chimney Work

We’ve inspected and cleaned more than 38,000 chimneys since 2009, and a measurable slice of those have been Olympia Chimney systems in Denton County. Corrine Halstead and our crew know the product line well enough to spot the difference between a Rancher cap that’s failed and a multi-flue unit that just needs its screen cleared - and we show you on camera before recommending either.
Our Haven Standard means background-checked, uniformed techs with license info on every page; a written price before work starts; and a documented photo record you can reference when you sell the house or file an insurance claim. We also service DuraFlex, HeatShield, and Gelco systems, so if your Olympia install has mixed components or needs a cross-brand solution, we don’t subcontract or guess.
The 365-Day Done Right Promise covers every cap and crown job. If it leaks, cracks, or fails because of our workmanship or materials, we make it right. No paperwork chase, no “call the manufacturer” runaround.
FAQs
No - factory warranties on Olympia Chimney caps cover defects in materials and workmanship, not independent service. As an independent Olympia Chimney service provider, we use parts and methods that don’t compromise any remaining factory coverage. If your cap is under warranty for a known defect, we’ll flag that and document it so you can pursue a factory claim if you choose. Call (940) 373-6912 and we’ll check your install date against known Olympia service bulletins.
Most single-flue cap replacements take 45-90 minutes on site; multi-flue caps and crown coating jobs run 2-4 hours. We don’t rush the inspection that comes first. Your written estimate includes the time estimate, and we don’t charge by the hour - it’s a flat price no matter how long the job takes. Call (940) 373-6912 to book.
Both. We source through our Haven buying network, which includes Olympia Chimney, Gelco, Famco, and Copperfield. If an OEM cap is in regional stock and competitively priced, we quote it. If lead time is two weeks or the aftermarket equivalent carries a better warranty, we show you both options priced out. You choose before we order.
Hairline cracks without underlying concrete deterioration usually get a flexible polymer coating after proper surface prep. We determine this with a sounding hammer and close visual inspection - not from the ground with binoculars. If the crown sounds hollow, the rebar is rusting, or cracks exceed 1/8 inch with displacement, we quote a rebuild. The camera inspection shows you the flue condition beneath, so you know whether water has already penetrated. Call (940) 373-6912 for a free evaluation.
NFPA 211 recommends annual inspection for all chimney systems, and we agree - especially in Denton, where spring storms and summer thermal cycling stress caps and crowns harder than steady cold climates. An annual Level 2 inspection catches crown cracks before they reach the flue liner and cap corrosion before it stains your chase or damages the flue tile below. Call (940) 373-6912 to schedule; estimates are free.
