Frequently asked in Washington

What is the average cost to repair a chimney?

Is chimney repair covered under homeowners insurance?

In Washington, D.C., homeowners insurance typically covers chimney repairs when the damage is a result of a sudden, accidental event like a fire or a severe storm. However, damage caused by normal wear and tear or a lack of regular maintenance is usually not covered. It's always recommended to review your policy details and then contact the pros. They can help assess if your specific situation might qualify for insurance coverage.

What is the 3 to 10 rule for chimneys?

The 3 to 10 rule is a safety standard for chimneys, stipulating that the chimney should extend at least 3 feet above the highest point of roof penetration and at least 2 feet higher than any part of the building within a 10-foot horizontal radius. This is crucial for proper drafting and fire prevention. Professionals strictly adhere to these guidelines.
