Is chimney repair covered under homeowners insurance?

Generally, homeowners insurance covers sudden and accidental damage, like from a lightning strike or a chimney fire. However, wear and tear or damage from lack of maintenance usually isn't covered. Check your policy details. We can provide a quote to help you document any necessary repairs.

This rule often refers to the clearance needed around a chimney. The chimney structure should be at least 3 feet above the roof penetration and at least 2 feet higher than any part of the building within 10 feet. It's a safety standard to prevent fires. We ensure your chimney meets all safety codes.
