Damage from general wear and tear or lack of maintenance is usually not covered. Review your policy or contact your insurance provider for clarification.

What is the 3 to 10 rule for chimneys?

The "3 to 10 rule" for chimneys is a safety standard that suggests the flue should extend at least 3 feet above the highest point of the roof and 10 feet horizontally from the chimney structure. This promotes proper draft and prevents smoke from entering your home. Pros in Durham can assess your chimney's adherence to this rule.
