The 3-to-10 rule for chimneys generally refers to the height of the chimney above the roofline and the clearance from combustible materials. A chimney should extend at least three feet above the highest point of the roof it penetrates and at least two feet higher than any part of the building within ten feet. This ensures proper draft and fire safety.
While a handyman might be able to handle very minor cosmetic repairs, chimney systems involve specialized knowledge and safety considerations.
