Chimney sweep logs do not sweep chimneys. They loosen some creosote - which then falls where a brush and vacuum still have to collect it.
Chimney Company in Speedway, IN
Chimney repair is where most Speedway calls start, and for good reason. This town is packed with 1920s to 1950s bungalows and mid-century ranches whose original brick and block chimneys are now decades past their first inspection, and west-central Indiana’s freeze-thaw winters have been working on them the whole time. We handle the sweep, the inspection and the fix without handing you off to a second company. Call (888) 560-8179 to book a visit. We answer 24/7.
Why Speedway Homes Are Different
Speedway is its own small town, fully wrapped by Indianapolis and anchored by the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. That geography shapes the work more than you’d expect. Many homes sit on small lots between 16th Street and Crawfordsville Road, where the chimneys are short exterior stacks, the ladder access is often tight, and technicians end up working from the alley side because there’s no clean line from the front.
The buildings themselves are old. Most are 1920s to 1950s bungalows and minimal traditional homes with brick or block chimneys, plus a run of 1950s and 60s ranches. Plenty of those chimneys are original, and original means clay tile liners that crack as they age. Then there’s the weather: freeze-thaw winters spall older brick and mortar crowns, and the damp spring and fall shoulder seasons invite creosote buildup when people burn wood that isn’t fully seasoned. Mature street trees drop leaves and seed pods onto caps and crowns, and those blockages show up on inspection every year. Nothing about a Speedway chimney is unusual. It’s just older and more exposed than most.

Our Main Speedway Services
Two jobs come up again and again in Speedway: getting the chimney clean so it’s safe to burn, and clearing the dryer vent that most homeowners never think about. Both are handled under one roof.
Chimney Sweep in Speedway
In a town where wood burning still matters, a proper sweep is the foundation of everything else. We clean the flue of soot and creosote, check the firebox, damper and smoke chamber, and look at the cap and crown from the roof. On these older Speedway bungalows, the inspection often turns up as much as the sweep does: a cracked tile, a crown that’s spalling after another freeze. You get a camera inspection and a photo report so you can see what we see. To book a chimney sweep in Speedway, one call covers it.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Speedway
Your dryer vent is a chimney too, and it moves lint the way a flue moves smoke. In tightly packed Speedway homes, vents often run long or take awkward turns through walls and crawlspaces, and lint collects at every one of them. We clear the full run, check the exterior termination for a stuck flap or a bird nest, and confirm airflow is what it should be. It’s a short job that removes a real fire risk from a house you already trust. Book dryer vent cleaning for a Speedway address and we’ll take it from there.
Chimney Repair in Speedway
Chimney repair in Speedway is mostly a story about age meeting weather. The town’s original clay tile liners have had sixty or seventy winters of freeze-thaw, and the short exterior stacks on the smaller lots take the full brunt of it, spalling brick and cracking crowns. When we inspect a Speedway chimney, we’re usually looking at one of two things: a liner that needs resurfacing or replacement, or masonry at the top that’s letting water in. Our Chimney Repair work is built to fix both without selling you a rebuild you don’t need.
Chimney Liner Installation
Signs you need it
You’ll see cracked or missing clay tiles on camera, a flue that’s too wide for the appliance, or a sweep report that flags gaps in the liner.
What it costs in Speedway
Liner work here typically runs $1,800 to $4,500, and HeatShield ceramic resurfacing is often the lower-cost path when the existing liner can be saved rather than pulled.
How we do it
We size the liner to the flue and appliance, install a DuraFlex system or apply HeatShield to the existing tile, then verify the fit before the firebox goes back together.
Chimney Cap Replacement
Signs you need it
A rusted, dented, missing or loose cap, or a flue that keeps taking in water and debris.
What it costs in Speedway
Cap replacement generally lands between $150 and $450, with a Gelco or Famco cap as the standard choice.
How we do it
We pull the old cap, check the crown and flue edge underneath, set a correctly sized new cap, and secure it against wind.
What Chimney Repair Costs in Speedway
These are typical ranges for the work, not quotes. The written estimate sets the final price.
| Item | Typical range in Speedway |
|---|---|
| Chimney cap replacement | $150 – $450 |
| Chimney crown repair | $300 – $800 |
| Chimney flashing repair | $250 – $750 |
| Chimney liner installation | $1,800 – $4,500 |
Do I really need a new chimney liner in Speedway?
Not always. If the clay tiles are intact and the gaps are minor, HeatShield resurfacing can restore the liner at lower cost. We show you the camera footage and let you decide.
How long does chimney repair take in Speedway?
Most repairs are a single visit. Crown and flashing work is often done in a few hours; a full liner installation takes longer. We tell you the timeline before we start.
Brands We Service in Speedway
We work with professional-grade materials, not big-box substitutes: DuraFlex liner systems, HeatShield ceramic resurfacing, and Gelco, Famco and Olympia Chimney caps and venting parts. Because these are trade-standard brands, most jobs use parts we can get without the long waits smaller crews run into. See our brands for the full picture. Turnaround on most Speedway repairs is quick once the parts are in hand.

In Speedway, price climbs with access and height: short exterior stacks on tight lots are usually straightforward, but a chimney that needs scaffolding or work from an awkward alley side takes longer. Liner and masonry work also carries more cost than a routine sweep because of materials. You’ll have the number in writing before anything starts.

What Speedway Customers Say
"No issues with the actual work. I did have to call twice to get the invoice emailed to me, which was mildly annoying. The repair itself has been fine."
- Katie Pruitt"Swept it, capped it, and installed a proper damper. The downdraft smell in the summer that we'd lived with for years is gone."
- Dustin Hayes"Fireplace had never drawn properly since we moved in. He found the damper was only opening halfway due to a bent linkage and fixed it in ten minutes."
