BROWN CHIMNEY

CHIMNEYS THAT STAND UP
TO INDIANA WEATHER

Cold, damp, and constantly changing. That’s Indiana weather. Brown Chimney keeps homes sealed, safe, and steady through it all.

WEATHER THAT DOESN’T QUIT

Indiana doesn’t do mild. Snow piles up, melts, and refreezes in an instant. That freeze-thaw rhythm eats at every joint and crown. In spring, the rain moves in, finding every hairline crack the ice left behind. Then summer hits — humid and heavy — quick to pull what’s left of the mortar apart. We’ve worked on chimneys from Fort Wayne to Bloomington and observed the same pattern emerge:

Stains spreading across ceilings

Bricks spalling near the roofline

Smoke backing into living rooms after a hard freeze

Leaning stacks after a few years of soil settling

HOW WE FIX IT AND KEEP IT FIXED

THOROUGH INSPECTIONS

We inspect your chimney, top down, inside out. We’ve been doing this for over four decades, and we know how to thoroughly check the crown, liner, and flashing. With both manual labor and professional tools, we test the draft and moisture levels inside the flue. If something’s cracked or leaking, you’ll see it in the photos.

REPOINTING AND LINER WORK

Repointing and sealing are a must in Indiana.

We do so with high-grade materials to ensure breathable waterproofing so it stays solid through another winter.

If a liner’s worn or unsafe, we reline it with materials built for real burn cycles, not just one season of use.

CROWNS AND CAPS

Crowns and caps take the worst beating in Indiana weather. We rebuild crowns to improve slope and drainage, allowing meltwater to run off instead of freezing in place. Missing or rusted caps get replaced with stainless steel or copper. We fit them tight to keep out rain, leaves, and the occasional nesting raccoon.

REBUILD AND FIREPLACE INSTALLS

There’s the reality that some chimneys can’t be saved. When that happens, we carefully remove them, protecting the roof deck and leaving the area ready for rebuilding.

And for new systems, we install wood or gas fireplaces, meeting Indiana’s building code and NFPA 211 standards.
