Welcome to Chimney Mechanix of Indiana
Meet Kaitlin – Owner & Certified Chimney Sweep
Hi! I’m Kaitlin Kuhn, the founder and proud owner of Chimney Mechanix of Indiana. I live in Brookston with my husband, Jason, and our pack of wonderful pets. I’ve spent most of my life in the Greater Lafayette area, and I love being part of this community.My journey into chimney work started a few years ago, training under a Master Sweep who taught me the ins and outs of the trade. What began as a curiosity turned into a full-blown passion—not just for chimneys, but for doing work that matters. I started Chimney Mechanix of Indiana with the goal of raising the bar: offering not only top-tier service, but also creating a company culture that’s supportive, energetic, and always learning.I’m certified through the Chimney Safety Institute of America, a member of the National Chimney Sweep Guild, and committed to ongoing education in this field. My mission is to keep Indiana homes safe, warm, and efficient—while building a company that employees are excited to be part of.I’m hands-on, detail-driven, and believe deeply in customer care. When you work with Chimney Mechanix, I want you to feel like you’re in good hands—because you are.
Meet Jason – Weekend Warrior & Support Specialist
Hey there, I’m Jason Corns—Kaitlin’s husband and the guy who jumps in to help out wherever and whenever I’m needed. I work full-time at Purdue Federal Credit Union, but outside of my day job, I support Chimney Mechanix in a behind-the-scenes role.
While I don’t have a background in skilled trades or chimney work, I proudly show up as the unskilled labor—hauling equipment, holding ladders, keeping things organized, and making sure the team has what they need to get the job done safely and efficiently. I might not be the one climbing roofs, but I’m always ready to lend a hand.
Supporting Kaitlin in building Chimney Mechanix has been incredibly rewarding. I’m proud of the work she’s doing, and I’m honored to play a small part in a business that cares deeply about quality, safety, and community.
Meet Jenny – Office Manager & Chaos Coordinator
Hi! I’m Jenny Mayo, Office Manager at Chimney Mechanix of Indiana. I’m a White County native and proud Frontier graduate, now raising my family just outside of Brookston on a small hobby farm. My husband and I have two amazing kids, and our home is full of life thanks to two senior German Shepherds, a few cats, and a couple of very spoiled horses.Before joining Chimney Mechanix, I worked in banking and administrative roles—but I was ready for something more hands-on and meaningful. When I met Kaitlin and saw her passion for the chimney industry, I knew I wanted to be a part of it. While I’m still learning the ropes in the chimney world, I bring years of experience keeping things organized and running smoothly—and I’m not afraid to jump in wherever I’m needed.Outside of work, I coach youth soccer with my dad through the Greater Lafayette Regional Soccer Alliance, where three of my younger siblings are on the team. I grew up as the oldest of six kids and was a 9-year 4-H member, so I know how to juggle chaos, lead a team, and keep things on track.I’m proud to be part of the Chimney Mechanix crew and excited to grow alongside a business that values community, quality, and a good sense of humor.
