The '3 to 10 rule' for chimneys is a safety guideline. It suggests that the chimney should extend at least three feet above the roofline where it exits and be at least two feet higher than any part of the building within a ten-foot radius. This helps ensure proper drafting and fire safety.
While a handyman might handle very basic exterior tasks, chimney repair requires specialized knowledge of masonry, structural integrity, ventilation, and fire safety codes.
