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 Santa Clarita: What to Know First
We provide independent Olympia Chimney chimney cap & crown service in Santa Clarita, from cap replacement on the 1000 Series to full crown rebuilds on the 2000 and 3000 Series multi-flue systems. Most Olympia Chimney jobs we book in Santa Clarita are completed within three to five business days, and every one starts with a written price before any work begins - no exceptions, no surprises. This page is for homeowners who know they have an Olympia Chimney cap or crown and want to understand what failure looks like, what fixing it actually costs, and who can do the work without voiding whatever warranty remains. Call (747) 294-2146 to schedule a camera inspection; estimates are free.
How Olympia Chimney Products Fail - and How We Fix Them
- 1000 Series single-flue caps: The galvanized steel mesh on early 1000 Series caps corrodes faster in Santa Clarita than the specs suggest, especially on homes west of the 14 Freeway where marine moisture from the Santa Clara River valley lingers. We see the mesh detach from the frame while the cap itself still looks fine from the ground. We replace with 304 stainless mesh or upgrade to the 1000-SS spec, and we document the rust pattern so you know whether the flue collar underneath needs attention too.
- 2000 Series multi-flue caps: The 2000 Series uses a heavier base rail that can trap debris against the crown if the chimney sits under a valley or near oak canopy in neighborhoods like Sand Canyon. Water pools behind the rail, freezes on the dozen nights Santa Clarita drops below 32°F, and spalls the crown edge in 3-4 mm flakes. We remove the cap, assess the crown substrate, and either reseat on a repaired crown or recommend a full pour if the rebar is exposed.
- 3000 Series chase cover conversions: Homeowners who converted from a 3000 Series chase cover to a cap-and-crown setup sometimes find the original chase cover flange left a ledge that diverts water toward the crown center. Olympia Chimney’s installation manual notes this; we’ve seen three in Santa Clarita where the conversion was done without removing the flange entirely. We pull the flange, inspect the crown slope, and rebuild to NFPA 211 clearance specs.
- Crown coating failures on Olympia Chimney systems: Olympia Chimney markets a proprietary crown coating that works well when applied to a sound substrate, but we’ve found it delaminates from concrete crowns that were already carbonated past pH 9.0. Our camera inspection includes a visual assessment of crown integrity; if the surface is chalking, we quote a structural repair rather than a coating that’ll fail in two seasons.
- Spark arrestor mesh clogging in 1000 Series caps: The 1000 Series mesh is rated for 1/2-inch openings, which is fine for most applications, but Santa Clarita’s chaparral fire risk means some insurers now require 5/8-inch mesh under local brush clearance codes. We stock both specs and will install the size your insurer recognizes, documenting the mesh dimension on your invoice for underwriting.
Our Olympia Chimney Chimney Cap & Crown Process

- 1
Call and schedule. A live person answers, checks Olympia Chimney parts availability, and books a Level 2 camera inspection. You’ll get a text when your tech is en route.
- 2
Inspection and documentation. We run the camera down the flue, photograph the cap or crown from the roof, and record any moisture intrusion points. Corrine Halstead reviews the footage with you before quoting - “The camera doesn’t editorialize. Neither do I.”
- 3
Written price and scope. You receive a written price, written scope, and written warranty before anyone picks up a tool. This is Haven Standard Clause 1: have it in writing.
- 4
Parts decision. We source Olympia Chimney OEM caps and crowns through our buying network when the part is current and the price is honest. For discontinued series or when lead times stretch past two weeks, we quote equivalent 304 stainless or copper from Gelco or Famco - always with your approval, never as a bait-and-switch.
- 5
Repair and test. We install to NFPA 211 clearances, verify cap draw with a smoke pencil, and photograph the completed work from the roof and the firebox looking up.
- 6
Documentation and guarantee. Your photo record uploads same-day. The 365-Day Done Right Promise applies automatically. If it’s not done right, we make it right.

Why Santa Clarita Homeowners Call Level Two Chimney Santa Clarita for Olympia Chimney Work

We’ve inspected and cleaned more than 38,000 chimneys since 2009, and a growing share of our Santa Clarita calls involve Olympia Chimney products installed in the 2015-2020 building boom. Our techs know the difference between a 1000 Series cap that needs mesh replacement and one whose frame has fatigued at the weld - because we’ve documented both failure modes under Haven Standard Clause 4.
We’re independently owned and operated, not a franchise, and we back every job with the 365-Day Done Right Promise. Our materials come through a buying network that includes DuraFlex, HeatShield, Gelco, Olympia Chimney, Famco, and Copperfield - so if your Olympia Chimney part is backordered, we have options that don’t leave you waiting through burning season. Background-checked, uniformed technicians. License number on every page. Written price before work starts, always.
FAQs
No - provided the work is documented and uses equivalent or OEM-spec parts. As an independent Olympia Chimney service provider, we’re not affiliated with the manufacturer, but we follow their published installation specs and document every step. If warranty coverage is still active, we note the original purchase date and series number on your invoice so you have a clear paper trail.
Most single-flue 1000 Series replacements take 90 minutes to two hours on site. Multi-flue 2000 Series jobs run three to four hours if the crown needs no repair. We book a half-day window and text when we’re on the way.
Sometimes, but not reliably. Olympia Chimney has discontinued several pre-2015 cap profiles, and we don’t quote parts we can’t source within two weeks. When OEM is unavailable, we spec equivalent 304 stainless from Gelco or Famco with matching flue dimensions and spark arrestor ratings - always with your written approval.
We tap-test and visually inspect during the camera scan. If the surface is sound, sloped properly, and shows no rebar exposure or through-cracking, coating is appropriate. If we find spalling, carbonation, or a flat or reverse slope that holds water, we quote repair or rebuild - never a coating that’ll trap moisture underneath.
Yes - because we show you the camera footage before we quote anything. You’ll see what we see, and the price follows from what’s actually there. The inspection itself takes 45 minutes to an hour.
