Warning Signs
When Chimney Removal Makes Sense
Brick damage doesn't fix itself. Spot these warning signs early to avoid expensive repairs later.
Severe Leaning or Structural Failure
Severe Leaning or Structural Failure
Chimneys leaning away from the house signal foundation problems or water damage. In Ontario freeze-thaw cycles, this worsens rapidly and poses collapse risk—removal eliminates the hazard.
Persistent Water Leaks Despite Repairs
Persistent Water Leaks Despite Repairs
Chimneys are leak-prone by design. If water keeps penetrating after crown and flashing repairs, removal stops interior damage permanently and ends ongoing maintenance costs.
Extensive Spalling and Crumbling Mortar
Extensive Spalling and Crumbling Mortar
When brick faces flake off and mortar crumbles across multiple sections, rebuilding costs often exceed removal. Removal converts a liability into usable space or roof simplicity.

Full-service demolition
More than just taking it down
Chimney removal is controlled demolition of the chimney structure—sometimes just the portion above the roof, sometimes the entire stack including the interior chimney breast.
Proper removal involves structural assessment, dust and debris control, safe dismantling, and finishing work. The roof needs patching. Interior ceilings and floors need closing up. Done right, you cannot tell a chimney was ever there.
What Chimney Removal Includes:
Structural assessment before any work begins
Controlled removal with dust barriers and debris containment
Complete finishing—roof, ceiling, floors restored
When is Chimney Removal Needed?
Damage beyond repair
When rebuild cost exceeds removal plus finishing.
Unused chimney
Eliminate maintenance and leak risk on chimneys you do not use.
Renovation
Reclaim interior space or accommodate new construction.
Our Services
Types of chimney removal
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.
Above-roofline removal
Remove only the chimney portion above the roof. The interior stack stays in place, capped at the attic. Fastest and least invasive option.
Minimal interior disruption
Lower cost
Fastest completion
Full chimney removal
Take down the entire chimney from roof to foundation, including the interior chase. Reclaims interior space on every floor.
Complete space reclamation
No future maintenance
Clean finish
Interior breast removal only
Remove the interior chimney breast while leaving the exterior stack. Opens up interior space without changing the roofline.
Preserve exterior appearance
Gain interior space
Structural support added
Removal with structural support
When the chimney shares a wall or supports structure, we add beams or posts before removal. Engineering coordinated as needed.

Benefits of chimney removal
Why homeowners choose to remove rather than repair
Eliminate maintenance costs
No more inspections, cap replacements, crown repairs, or repointing. The ongoing expense stops completely.
Stop water infiltration
Chimneys are leak-prone by design. Removal eliminates this entry point permanently.
Reclaim interior space
Full removal opens up usable square footage on every floor the chimney passed through.
Reduce energy loss
Even capped chimneys lose heat. Removal and proper insulation improve energy efficiency.
Simplify future sales
A damaged chimney is an inspection red flag. Removal converts a liability into a non-issue.

What affects chimney removal cost
We assess on site and provide detailed quotes—here are the main factors
What Influences Your Quote?
Scope of removal
Above-roofline only is simplest. Full removal through multiple floors is most involved. Interior breast removal varies by size.
Chimney height and size
Taller chimneys and larger cross-sections mean more material, more labour, and more debris disposal.
Structural complexity
Load-bearing chimneys or shared walls require engineering and support installation before removal.
Roof work required
Flat roofs differ from pitched. Matching existing shingles versus full sections affects scope.
Interior finishing level
Basic closure versus finished drywall ready for paint. We discuss options during assessment.
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.

from 800+ verified reviewsAverage rating 4.9 out of 5 from 800+ reviewsThe chimney was falling apart and two contractors said rebuilding was not worth it. Fix My Brick removed it, patched the roof, and finished the ceilings. Cannot tell it was ever there.
Jennifer L.
We converted to gas years ago and the chimney was just a maintenance headache. They took it down to the roofline, capped it, and patched the roof. No more worries.
Robert K.
Needed the chimney out for our renovation. They coordinated with our contractor, handled the structural engineering, and the timeline was exactly as quoted.
