Yes, removing a chimney is a major undertaking. If your chimney provides structural support to your home (which they often do), you’ll have to take extra precautions to remove it safely and not affect the structural integrity of your home. For a project like this, you’ll need to recruit a structural engineer, masonry contractor, and demotion crew. Between all of the labor and materials, you can expect to pay $2,000 to $10,000 in chimney removal costs.

Yes, you can install a trench drain if you already have concrete in your yard or garden. While it can complicate some aspects of the job and slightly run up the cost, it is doable. Residential trench drains can be easily retrofitted to outdoor areas with concrete without having to remove excessive amounts of your patio, pool area, or decorative walkways.

You can contact your sanitation department for more information. In many areas, you’ll need to call for bulk pickup for concrete pieces, which may cost you a small flat fee. If you’re looking to dispose of large amounts of concrete, it’s best to hire a concrete disposal service near you to avoid the process taking weeks or even months.

The best tool for cutting concrete depends on the size of the job and your comfort level. For very small projects, a hammer and chisel can work well. Angle grinders and circular saws are good options for medium-size jobs, and walk-behind concrete cutting saws are best for larger jobs, like cutting through thick slabs.
