Chimney Services

In our experience, insurance companies only will cover chimney repairs caused by sudden, unexpected catastrophic events. These events include lightning strikes, chimney fires or damage incurred by heavy winds that may cause a tree to damage your chimney.

If you’ve experienced a chimney fire or have had major chimney damage due to a weather incident or earthquake, your repairs, restoration, or rebuild may be covered by your insurance. Most homeowner’s insurance policies will cover damage resulting from fire, wind, lightning or earthquakes. To determine the extent of your damage and whether or not your insurance will cover it, you’ll need to have a certified and licensed chimney technician inspect your system and report their findings.

Our inspections are all-inclusive and meticulously conducted, ensuring that no area of the chimney system is left out. We work hard to provide you with as much information as possible so that you and your insurance company have all of the details necessary to take the next step.

Our intensive inspections are guaranteed to give you a comprehensive picture of your chimney system’s condition, so that the insurance claim process is a little bit easier for you.

If it turns out that your fire or damage was the result of improper construction or deferred maintenance — like a clogged flue or spalling masonry — your insurance company likely won’t cover the claim.

When a chimney fire occurs or lightning strikes your chimney, damage is incurred. Most folks’ insurance policies cover such occurrences, and a chimney professional must try to help homeowners to make the insurance process go as smoothly as possible. My number one recommendation when it comes to insurance claims, no matter what kind of insurance, is to document everything at the very beginning of the process. You need to be sure to document the date it occurred, the name of the professional(s) who come out to evaluate the situation, and the date(s) the professional evaluated the situation. Your professional should also be doing some documentation as well.
