Chimney Removal Tips for Harvel, IL

Can I remove my chimney myself?

Chimney removal isn't extremely complicated, but that doesn't mean you should attempt to remove the chimney yourself. Attempting a DIY chimney removal could lead to structural damage to your home or serious injury to you. This is why we always recommend hiring a professional.

Does chimney removal require a permit?

Just like with any demolition, you'll likely need to get a permit before having your chimney removed.

Generally speaking, the contractor handling the removal will take care of this. But if you're removing the chimney yourself, be sure to confirm with your local zoning laws whether or not you need a permit to do the work.
