What's this '3 to 10 rule' I've heard about for chimneys?
The '3 to 10 rule' for chimneys refers to the recommended minimum height of the chimney above the highest point of your roof. It generally suggests the chimney should extend at least 3 feet above the roof penetration and 2 feet higher than any part of the roof within a 10-foot radius. This helps ensure proper draft and prevents smoke from being drawn back into the house. Following this guideline is crucial for safe operation.

What are the signs I need chimney flashing repair?
You might need chimney flashing repair if you notice water stains on your ceiling or walls, especially near the fireplace. Leaky flashing can also cause dampness inside the chimney or even mold growth. Another sign is seeing loose or damaged flashing material around the base of the chimney where it meets the roof. Addressing flashing issues quickly is key to preventing water damage to your home.
