Frequently asked in New York

What is the average cost to repair a chimney?

Is chimney repair covered under homeowners insurance?

Generally, homeowners insurance in New York covers damage from sudden, accidental events like a chimney fire or storm damage. Standard wear and tear or lack of maintenance usually isn't covered. If you suspect damage from a covered event, contact your insurance provider. Always check your specific policy details for clarity on what's included.

What is the 3 to 10 rule for chimneys?

The 3 to 10 rule refers to chimney height and clearance. The chimney should extend at least 3 feet above the highest point where it passes through the roof. It also needs to be at least 2 feet taller than any part of the building within 10 feet. This helps ensure proper draft and prevents smoke from re-entering your home in dense areas like New York.
