The 3-to-10 rule is a safety standard for chimney construction. It requires the chimney to extend at least 3 feet above the roof penetration and be at least 2 feet higher than any part of the building within a 10-foot horizontal distance. This helps ensure proper ventilation and prevent fire hazards.
While a handyman might tackle very minor cosmetic fixes, chimney repair requires specialized knowledge.
