Cost Of Chimney Repair Toronto

The cost of chimney repair in Toronto varies greatly depending on many factors. First off is the access available to the chimney. If the chimney is on a one or two storey home and has a cleared area below from which to put up a ladder or build scaffolding, this means less cost for access. If a complicated scaffolding setup is required, the cost can go up.

Scaffolding Or Ladders

The safest way to access anything at heights is with scaffolding as opposed to ladders. Ladders are a good solution if the repair needed on a chimney is small and can be done with one hand. If the mason is intelligent and cautious with his approach, he can get up and down safely and perform a small brick patch or pointing repair using only a ladder. Where a significant amount of work is needed, such as a chimney rebuild, scaffolding is a necessity. Hundreds of pounds of rubble and debris will have to be safely lowered. The same amount of new bricks and mortar, if not more, will have to be hoisted back up and safely reinstalled during the rebuild. This greatly increases the amount of labour involved and in turn increases the price.

Is It Worth Repairing or Rebuilding My Chimney?

The answer is almost always yes to whether or not you should have your chimney repaired or rebuilt. Chimneys vent harmful gases and smoke up and away from a home. If the chimney is in use and in disrepair, it is imperative that it be taken care of. Pieces of debris can occasionally fall away from a chimney, which is a safety hazard in its own right, and the venting capabilities of the chimney can be compromised. If the chimney is no longer in use, it still needs to be repaired or torn down to avoid any safety issues.
