Is chimney repair covered under homeowners insurance?

Homeowners insurance in Providence may cover chimney repair if the damage was caused by a covered peril, such as fire, lightning, or a severe storm.

What is the 3 to 10 rule for chimneys?

This proactive approach is vital for homes in Providence to prevent fires and structural damage. Adhering to this guideline can save you money on future repairs and ensure your chimney functions safely.
