Warning Signs
When Chimneys Need Rebuilding
Brick damage doesn't fix itself. Spot these warning signs early to avoid expensive repairs later.
Chimney Leaning or Tilting
Chimney Leaning or Tilting
Visible lean indicates foundation failure or soil settlement. Chimneys weigh thousands of pounds—collapse risk is real and dangerous. Rebuilding is safer and more economical than attempting structural repair.
Severe Cracking Throughout Structure
Severe Cracking Throughout Structure
Cracks running through brick courses—not just mortar joints—mean the masonry has lost structural integrity. Patching cannot restore strength; water entry accelerates deterioration and causes collapse risk.
Separation from House
Separation from House
Gaps opening between chimney and house wall show the structure is pulling away. This creates water entry points, allows heat escape near combustibles, and signals imminent structural failure.

Structural reconstruction
When repair is not enough
Chimney rebuilding means taking down part or all of an existing chimney and constructing it new—with proper materials, modern techniques, and current code compliance.
Not every damaged chimney needs rebuilding. But when deterioration is extensive, the foundation is compromised, or the cost of piecing together repairs exceeds rebuild cost, starting fresh makes sense. You get a structurally sound chimney with a full warranty.
What Chimney Rebuilding Includes:
Full structural assessment determines if rebuild is truly needed
Modern materials and techniques provide better longevity than patch repairs
Building permits ensure the work meets current safety codes
When is Chimney Rebuilding Needed?
Major structural failure
Leaning, separation, or foundation problems beyond repair scope.
Extensive deterioration
Damage throughout the chimney makes piece-by-piece repair uneconomical.
Fire or storm damage
Hidden internal damage requires full reconstruction to ensure safety.
See the Transformation
The original crown was cracked and the decorative chimney pots had deteriorated. We poured a new concrete crown and sourced custom terracotta pots to match.

Types of chimney rebuilding
Different brick problems call for different repairs. We look at the damage and recommend the lightest fix that actually solves it—nothing more, nothing less.
Partial rebuild (above roofline)
Take down and rebuild only the portion above the roof. Most common when damage is concentrated in the exposed section while below-roof masonry is sound.
Least invasive
Faster completion
Lower cost
Full chimney rebuild
Complete teardown and reconstruction from foundation or basement floor. Required when damage extends through the entire structure.
New foundation if needed
Full structural warranty
Code compliant
Foundation stabilization and rebuild
When the chimney base has settled or failed, we stabilize the foundation first, then rebuild the chimney on solid footing.
Addresses root cause
Engineered solution
Long-term stability
Rebuild with flue upgrade
Incorporate a new stainless steel liner or rebuild clay tile flue as part of the reconstruction. Often required for code compliance or appliance changes.
Improved draft
Modern venting
Versatile fuel options

Benefits of chimney rebuilding
A long-term solution when repair is not viable
Structural safety
A rebuilt chimney is structurally sound. No worrying about collapse, separation, or progressive failure.
Code compliance
Rebuilt chimneys meet current building codes for clearances, materials, and flue sizing. Important for insurance and resale.
Proper venting
New flue liner sized correctly for your appliances improves draft, efficiency, and safety.
Full warranty
New construction carries a workmanship warranty. Patch repairs on failing structures do not.
Increased home value
A new chimney is an asset. A failing chimney is a liability that shows up in home inspections.

What affects chimney rebuilding cost
We assess on site and provide detailed quotes—here are the main factors
What Influences Your Quote?
Scope of rebuild
Partial (above roofline) costs less than full rebuild. We assess what actually needs replacement.
Chimney height and size
Taller chimneys and larger cross-sections require more material and labour. We measure and quote accurately.
Access and staging
Ground-level work is straightforward. Multi-story homes with limited access require scaffolding and more time.
Foundation work
If the base has failed, stabilization or new footing adds to scope. We determine this during assessment.
Flue requirements
New stainless liner, rebuilt clay flue, or multi-flue configuration affects total cost.
Our Transparent Pricing Promise
Most repairs cost less than you'd expect—and far less than ignoring the problem. **Project Complexity:** - **$ Small repairs** — Crown sealing, minor repointing - **$$ Medium repairs** — Partial brick replacement, flashing - **$$$ Large repairs** — Extensive repointing, multi-section rebuilds - **$$$$ Full chimney rebuild** — Above roofline reconstruction Final pricing depends on height, access, materials, and scope. We provide written quotes with itemized pricing after inspection.

4.9/5
from 800+ verified reviewsAverage rating 4.9 out of 5 from 800+ reviewsOur chimney was leaning badly. Fix My Brick assessed it, told us repair was not safe, and rebuilt it from the roofline up. Solid work, fair price, and they cleaned up everything.
Richard P.
Had a chimney fire and the insurance company required a full rebuild. They handled the permit, matched the original brick style, and the inspector was impressed.
Angela M.
The chimney was separating from the house. They stabilized the foundation and rebuilt the whole thing. Two years later, zero issues. Should have done it sooner.
