Hammond has some of the oldest housing in Northwest Indiana — neighborhoods like Hessville and Robertsdale are full of homes from the early and middle 1900s, many with brick chimneys built for coal or wood and later converted to gas furnaces and water heaters.
Those conversions matter. An old chimney that now vents a gas appliance can be unlined or oversized, which leads to condensation that eats mortar from the inside. We check what the chimney is actually venting today, scan the flue with a camera when it's needed, and photograph everything.

Hammond questions
Is there a chimney repair company near me in Hammond?
Yes — NWI Chimney repairs chimneys throughout Hammond and Lake County: masonry, crowns, flashing, liners and leaks. Estimates are free, photographed and quoted as one flat price.
My old chimney vents the furnace — does it need a liner?
Often, yes. Gas appliances vented into an unlined or oversized masonry flue create condensation that damages the chimney from the inside. A camera inspection ($199) shows the condition; a stainless liner typically runs $1,200 to $2,500.
How much is a chimney sweep in Hammond?
$249 flat, including a 21-point safety inspection and before-and-after photos of the flue.
What are signs my chimney is deteriorating?
Loose or crumbling mortar, white staining (efflorescence) on the brick, pieces of tile or brick in the fireplace, water in the firebox, or rust on the damper. Any of those is worth a free Level 1 inspection.
Can someone come out the same day?
For urgent issues — smoke or fumes coming into the house — we prioritize the call and often arrive the same day. If you smell gas, leave the home and call your gas utility first.
Do you service gas fireplaces?
Yes, including pilots, thermocouples, igniters and valves, with a burn test and carbon monoxide check at the end of every gas visit.
