Frequently asked in Washington

What is the average cost to repair a chimney?

Is chimney repair covered under homeowners insurance?

Homeowners insurance in Washington, D.C. may cover chimney repairs if the damage resulted from a sudden, accidental event, such as a fire or severe storm. However, damage due to normal wear and tear or lack of maintenance is typically excluded. It's advisable to check your policy details and consult with a chimney expert.

What is the 3 to 10 rule for chimneys?

The 3-to-10 rule is a general safety guideline for chimney height. It suggests the chimney should extend at least 10 feet above the highest point of the house where it passes through the roof, and at least 3 feet above any part of the roof within a 10-foot horizontal distance. This ensures proper draft and smoke ventilation for D.C. homes.
