Safe and controlled chimney removal for residential and commercial properties
Chimneys in older homes often begin to crack, lean, or leak smoke into attic cavities, so careful demolition is sometimes the safest long term option. BRD Demolition removes both masonry and framed chimney systems with a methodical approach that protects your structure, your roofline, and the surrounding interior spaces. Our team has worked in homes where chimneys were tucked between tight rafters or built into early construction fireplaces, and that experience helps us navigate each project with steady, practical decision making.
Interior chimney removal often involves working in confined areas such as basements, older utility rooms, or small first floor living spaces. Our team breaks down brick, flue tiles, and embedded chase materials while maintaining proper dust containment. We isolate the work zone, protect nearby finishes, and use progressive removal techniques so weight does not shift unpredictably inside the walls. In homes built before the early nineties, we also keep an eye out for materials that may need special handling and guide the homeowner through the next steps if anything unusual is discovered.
For exterior chimney structures, BRD removes brick stacks, rooftop chimneys, and full ground up masonry columns with controlled teardown methods. We work from the top down, securing each section so roofing, fascia boards, or nearby siding do not absorb unnecessary stress. Many chimney bases settle unevenly due to years of water intrusion, so we approach each project with patience and precise equipment placement. Once the final section is removed, we clear all rubble and prepare the area for framing or patching as needed.
Chimney demolition produces more debris than most homeowners expect. Brick fragments, mortar dust, flue tiles, metal liners, and chase materials all need proper disposal. BRD handles every part of the cleanup including loading, hauling, and responsible disposal so the space is ready for the next contractor. Before we leave, we walk the area with the homeowner to ensure the surrounding surfaces are swept, vacuumed, and cleared of sharp materials.
