Chimney Services in Indianapolis
We have served Indianapolis and the surrounding communities since 2014, and our team holds the credentials that matter in this trade: NFI certification, NCSG membership with both the Accredited Certified Chimney Professional and Certified Chimney Reliner designations, and an A plus rating with the Better Business Bureau. More than 585 homeowners have reviewed us at a 4.9 star average. That experience shapes how we inspect, sweep, repair, and rebuild chimneys across central Indiana, from Carmel and Fishers to Noblesville, Zionsville, and the established neighborhoods inside Indianapolis itself.
Central Indiana weather is hard on masonry. Repeated freeze and thaw cycles drive moisture into brick, mortar, and concrete, so what looks like a cosmetic crack in the fall can become an active leak by spring. The services below cover the full range of chimney work we provide. Use them to find the specific help you need, or schedule an inspection and let our technicians tell you exactly what your chimney requires.
Homeowners usually call us when they notice one of a handful of warning signs: a draft or smoky smell when the fireplace is in use, white staining or crumbling mortar on the exterior masonry, rust on the damper or firebox, a strong odor in warm or humid weather, or water showing up near the chimney after heavy rain. Any one of these is worth an inspection. Several of them together usually mean a problem that is already underway, and the sooner we see it, the less it tends to cost to correct.
Chimney Inspections and Sweeping
Every chimney we care for starts with a clear, honest look at its condition. Our inspections follow the recognized industry levels, and we use camera systems to see inside the flue and smoke chamber rather than guessing from the firebox. A clean, well-documented inspection is the foundation for every repair decision that follows.
Chimney Inspection
Level I, II, and III inspections with a written, photo-documented report on the health of the full system.
Chimney Sweeping
Thorough removal of soot and creosote so your flue vents safely and fire risk stays low.
Creosote Removal
Targeted removal of the heavy, hardened creosote that a standard sweep cannot fully clear.
If you have already spotted a problem with your brick, mortar, or a possible leak near the chimney, we also offer free general inspections of the roof, exterior, attic, and firebox, and at times a free water test. No one else in the area offers a free water test, and it is one of the fastest, most honest ways to find exactly where water is getting in before any work is quoted.
For homeowners who want the complete picture, our charged Level II inspection paired with a full sweep is a top-to-bottom chimney health service. It combines a camera inspection of the firebox and flue with a look at the attic, basement or crawlspace, and rooftop, and it ends with a detailed report and photos. It is the most thorough way to understand the condition of your chimney and to plan any work in the right order.
Chimney Leak and Water Intrusion
Water is the single biggest threat to a masonry chimney, and most of the chimney damage we repair in Indianapolis traces back to it. When a homeowner sees a stain on the ceiling near the chimney, the first instinct is often to call a roofer, but chimney leaks are a chimney specialty. We find the actual entry point and fix it at the source, then protect the masonry so the problem does not return.
Finding a leak is a process of elimination, and it is where our experience pays off. The same water stain can come from failed flashing, a cracked crown, a rusted chase cover, missing mortar, or a worn cap, and the only way to be sure is to test and inspect rather than assume. Once we have confirmed the source, we repair it and then recommend the right protection, whether that is a new cap, a fresh crown, or a breathable water repellent, so the fix holds.
Chimney Leak Repair
Full diagnosis and repair of chimney leaks, from the flashing at the roofline to the crown at the top.
Chimney Flashing
Repair and replacement of the metal flashing where the chimney meets the roof, the most common leak point of all.
Chimney Crown Repair
Repair or rebuild of the concrete crown that caps and sheds water off the top of the chimney.
Chimney Caps
Caps that keep rain, animals, and debris out of the flue and extend the life of the system.
Chase Covers
Custom metal covers for factory-built chimney chases that have rusted, stained, or failed.
Chimney Water Repellent
Breathable waterproofing that protects brick and mortar from further freeze and thaw damage.
Through-Wall Flashing
Concealed flashing repair for brick-veneer and sided chimneys where water gets in behind the surface.
Chimney Repair and Rebuilding
When damage has gone beyond the surface, repair and rebuilding restore both the safety and the structure of the chimney. Our masonry and relining work is built to code and built to last, using materials matched to your home and your appliance.
Relining and rebuilding are where doing it right the first time matters most. We size stainless steel liners to the specific appliance they serve, and we rebuild damaged masonry to code so the chimney is structurally sound, not just cosmetically patched. Every stainless liner we install carries a transferable lifetime warranty, which protects both you and the next owner of your home.

Chimney FAQs
How often should I have my chimney inspected and swept?
Industry guidance calls for a professional chimney inspection every year. Sweeping is done as buildup and use require it, which for many wood-burning households is also once a year. An annual inspection is the best way to catch small problems while they are still inexpensive to fix.
My ceiling is staining near the chimney. Should I call a roofer or a chimney company?
Start with a chimney company. Most leaks near a chimney come from the flashing, crown, cap, or masonry rather than the roof itself, and those are chimney specialties. We offer free general inspections and at times a free water test to pinpoint exactly where the water is entering before any repair is quoted.
What does a chimney inspection actually include?
Depending on the level, we inspect the firebox and flue with a camera system and check the attic, basement or crawlspace, and rooftop. You receive a detailed report with photos and a whole-system health summary, so you can see the condition of your chimney for yourself.
How do I know if my chimney needs to be relined?
Common signs include a damaged or deteriorating existing liner, a change in heating appliance, draft or odor problems, and visible flue tile damage during an inspection. We install stainless steel liners that carry a transferable lifetime warranty and are sized correctly to your specific appliance.
Do you service gas and prefabricated fireplaces as well as masonry chimneys?
Yes. Our technicians are NFI certified, and we inspect, repair, and vent gas appliances and factory-built (prefabricated) fireplace systems along with traditional masonry chimneys.
