Summer is the quietest time for chimney work, making it the perfect opportunity to schedule repairs without the seasonal rush.

Getting your maintenance done while the weather is dry ensures you are ready the moment the first chilly night arrives.
Frequently asked in Springfield
What is the average cost to repair a chimney?
Is chimney repair covered under homeowners insurance?
Homeowners insurance coverage for chimney repair in Springfield often depends on the cause of the damage. If the damage is due to a sudden and accidental event covered by your policy, such as a fire or severe weather, it might be covered. However, damage resulting from general wear and tear or lack of maintenance is typically not covered. It's best to review your policy or contact your insurance provider. A pro can give you a quote for any necessary work.
What is the 3 to 10 rule for chimneys?
The 3 to 10 rule for chimneys is a crucial safety standard. It dictates that the chimney should extend at least three feet above the highest point of the roof it penetrates, and it must be at least two feet taller than any part of the roof within a ten-foot horizontal distance. This rule ensures proper draft and prevents fire hazards. A chimney professional can assess your Springfield chimney to confirm it meets this standard.
