Schererville calls itself the Crossroads of the Nation, where US-30 and US-41 meet, and most of the town was built out in the last several decades. That means a lot of factory-built fireplaces, gas inserts and gas log sets — equipment that needs regular service even though it never makes creosote the way an old wood fireplace does.
It also means metal chimneys in wood-framed chases, whose covers rust and let water in. We service gas and wood-burning units, replace caps and chase covers, and show you photos of everything we find.

Schererville questions
Is there a chimney sweep in Schererville, IN?
Yes — NWI Chimney covers Schererville and all of Lake County. The sweep is $249 flat, for wood or gas flues, including a 21-point safety inspection with before-and-after photos.
Do gas fireplaces need to be cleaned?
They need servicing once a year: burners and logs collect dust, pilots clog, and the vent needs to be checked for blockages. Annual gas service ends with a burn test and a carbon monoxide check.
Why is my gas fireplace flame yellow or sooty?
Usually the logs have shifted, the burner ports are partly clogged, or air mix is off. It's worth fixing — incomplete combustion creates soot and can raise carbon monoxide. Burner cleaning typically runs $180 to $230.
Can you replace a rusted chase cover?
Yes. Rust stains running down the siding under the chimney are the giveaway. Cap or chase cover replacement runs $250 to $450, and we check the framing underneath for water damage.
How much is a chimney inspection?
Level 1 is free with a written photo report; Level 2 with a full camera scan is $199.
How fast can you get here?
Most sweeps and inspections are scheduled the same week; a gas smell or smoke in the house is prioritized, often the same day.
