- Chimney Clearance Defect 3-2-10
- Comment Text
- <p>I observed indications of inadequate clearances for the masonry chimney stack. The 3-2-10 Rule for masonry chimneys states that a masonry chimney should extend at least 3 feet above the highest point where the chimney passes through the roof, and 2 feet above any portion of a building that is within a 10-foot distance horizontally.</p><p><img src="https://cdn.spectora.com/editor_assets/images/000/014/540/original/chimney_clearances.jpg?1556747308" style="width: 500px; display: inline-block; vertical-align: bottom; margin: 5px 5px 5px 0px; max-width: calc(100% - 5px); text-align: left; float: left;" draggable="false"></p>
