Chimney Removal Tips for Fairhope - Somerset County, PA

How does chimney removal work?

There are two main parts of a chimney—the chimney stack and the chimney breast. The chimney stack is the part of the chimney that extends above the roof—the part visible from outside the home. The chimney breast is the part of the chimney that is visible from within the home.
