Michigan City is right on the Lake Michigan shore, and LaPorte County gets some of the heaviest lake-effect snow in Indiana. For chimneys that means snow and ice sitting around the base, repeated melting and refreezing, and wind pushing rain sideways into anything that isn't sealed.
Older homes near downtown and the lakefront often have brick chimneys that have been through a lot of those winters. We look at the crown, cap, flashing and flue, photograph every finding, and quote a flat price before any work begins.

Michigan City questions
Is there a chimney sweep in Michigan City?
Yes — NWI Chimney sweeps chimneys in Michigan City and across LaPorte County. The sweep is $249 flat, including a 21-point safety inspection with before-and-after photos.
Why does my chimney leak in winter?
Snow piles against the chimney, melts during the day and refreezes at night, working water into cracked crowns and worn flashing. We find the exact entry point and fix it; flashing repair typically runs $300 to $600 and crown sealing $250 to $450.
Do I need a chimney cap near the lake?
Yes. A cap keeps wind-driven rain, snow and animals out of the flue. A stainless steel cap on a single flue runs $250 to $400 installed.
How much does a chimney inspection cost?
Level 1 is free with a written photo report; Level 2, which adds a full camera scan, is $199.
