Is chimney repair covered under homeowners insurance in Tennessee?

Generally, standard homeowners insurance in Tennessee covers sudden and accidental damage, like from a fire or storm. It typically doesn't cover wear and tear or neglect.

It also needs to be at least two feet taller than any part of the roof within a ten-foot radius. This ensures proper draft and safety for your Knoxville home.
