Why You Should Remove That Old, Non-Functional Brick Chimney

Got an old brick chimney that’s no longer in use? Keeping it might seem harmless, but it could be causing more harm than you think! Here’s why removing a non-functional chimney is a smart move:

Leaks & Water Damage – Over time, brick and mortar deteriorate, allowing water to seep in, leading to roof leaks, mold, and structural damage.

Structural Risks – An aging, unused chimney can become unstable, increasing the risk of bricks loosening or even collapsing.

Energy Efficiency Drain – A chimney that’s not properly sealed can let cold air in during winter and hot air in during summer, driving up energy costs.

More Usable Space – Removing the chimney can free up valuable interior and roof space, allowing for better design flexibility.

Instead of dealing with costly repairs down the road, consider removing your old chimney and improving your home’s safety, efficiency, and aesthetics. Call Roofwise Roofing today for a professional assessment!
