Frequently asked in Huntsville

What is the average cost to repair a chimney?

The average cost to repair a chimney in Huntsville varies depending on the specific damage and materials needed. Minor repairs, like tuckpointing a few bricks, are typically less expensive than major structural work or chimney relining. A pro can provide an accurate estimate after an inspection.

Is chimney repair covered under homeowners insurance?

In Huntsville, homeowners insurance might cover chimney repair if the damage was caused by a sudden, unexpected event like a storm or fire. However, issues arising from normal wear and tear or lack of maintenance are generally not covered. It's always wise to review your policy.

What is the 3 to 10 rule for chimneys?

The 3 to 10 rule is a safety guideline for masonry chimneys. It states the chimney should extend at least three feet above the highest point of the roof where it exits. It also needs to be at least ten feet away from any part of the roof within a two-foot horizontal span. This helps prevent roof fires.
