Frequently asked in Lexington-Fayette

What is the average cost to repair a chimney?

Is chimney repair covered under homeowners insurance?

Homeowners insurance in Kentucky may cover chimney repairs if the damage was caused by a covered event like a fire or a severe storm. Damage due to normal wear and tear or lack of maintenance is typically not covered. It's always best to review your policy or contact your insurance provider for clarification. We can provide a detailed quote to assist with any claims.

What is the 3 to 10 rule for chimneys?

The '3 to 10 rule' is a standard safety guideline for chimneys. It requires the chimney to extend at least 3 feet above the highest point of the roof where it passes through. Additionally, it must be at least 2 feet higher than any part of the building within a 10-foot radius. This ensures proper draft and prevents smoke from entering your Lexington-Fayette home.
