Chimney Fire Case Study

Because chimney fires often go unnoticed at the time of loss and the evidence is hidden away, it can sometimes be months or even years before homeowners are aware of damages to their flue. A certified fire investigator can do more than determine origin and cause, however, and is crucial to settling a chimney fire claim accurately.

In this real-life account, a homeowner had his chimney cleaned for the first time in years and was informed a fire had damaged the flue tiles. Our case study details the fire investigation process when it comes to confirming if and why a chimney fire occurred and what materials were affected. You’ll also see how these investigations can identify potential safety risks to your policyholder due to creosote or other buildup. Fill out the form for your copy of the Chimney Fire Case Study.
