Frequently asked in Des Moines

What is the average cost to repair a chimney?

Is chimney repair covered under homeowners insurance?

Homeowners insurance in Des Moines typically covers chimney damage that results from sudden and accidental events, such as fires or severe storms. Damage due to normal wear and tear or lack of maintenance is usually not covered. It's always wise to review your specific policy or consult with your insurance provider for clarification.

What is the 3 to 10 rule for chimneys?

The 3-to-10 rule suggests an annual chimney inspection and cleaning if you use your fireplace frequently, with a more thorough inspection every three years. Many chimney professionals recommend annual inspections for Des Moines homes, however, especially for older chimneys, to ensure safety and prevent potential hazards like creosote buildup.
