About this service

Chimney repair services cover a wide range of tasks, including masonry repair, flue relining, and waterproofing. You need these services when you observe signs of decay like falling mortar, smoke leaking into your home, or significant cracks in the exterior masonry. Regular checkups help identify these issues before they become safety hazards. Our goal is to ensure your chimney is structurally sound and operating safely for your household throughout the burning season.

Summer is the quietest time for chimney work, making it the perfect opportunity to schedule repairs without the seasonal rush. Technicians have more flexibility to handle masonry work, cap installations, or flue liner replacements. Getting your maintenance done while the weather is dry ensures you are ready the moment the first chilly night arrives.

Frequently asked in Durham

What is the average cost to repair a chimney?

Is chimney repair covered under homeowners insurance?

In Durham, homeowners insurance coverage for chimney repair typically depends on the cause of the damage. If the chimney damage resulted from a covered event like a fire or a storm, your insurance policy may cover the repair costs. However, damage due to normal wear and tear or lack of maintenance is usually not covered. It's advisable to review your specific policy details with your insurer.

What is the 3 to 10 rule for chimneys?

The 3 to 10 rule for chimneys is a standard safety guideline related to clearances. It typically states that a chimney should extend at least three feet above the roofline where it passes through and be at least two feet higher than any part of the building within a ten-foot radius. This rule helps ensure proper ventilation and prevents fire hazards.
