Frequently asked in Virginia Beach

What is the average cost to repair a chimney?

Is chimney repair covered under homeowners insurance?

Generally, homeowners insurance in Virginia Beach covers chimney damage caused by sudden and accidental events, like lightning strikes or wind damage. Pre-existing conditions or normal wear and tear are usually not covered. It's always best to check your specific policy or ask the repair pro when you call. They can help you understand potential coverage.

What is the 3 to 10 rule for chimneys?

The '3 to 10 rule' refers to chimney height requirements: the chimney should extend at least three feet above the highest point of the roof where it passes through, and at least two feet higher than any part of the building within ten feet. This ensures proper draft and prevents smoke from being drawn back inside. Following this rule is crucial for safety in Virginia Beach homes.
