In your state your builder does have to provide you with a home owner warranty. The New Home Warranty Act is also a protection of the builder and you as a buyer must give the builder the opportunity to make repairs to the home before suing.

Does insurance cover defective fill in the chimney?

No, your homeowners insurance provides coverage for certain unexpected losses, such as wind, hail, fire lightning etc, but it does not provide warranty coverage for the work of a builder or contractor. That is covered under the home warranty you would have been offered when you purchased the home. Think of it in the same terms as an Auto Insurance Policy. Your auto insurance will cover damage from an accidental loss but it does not provide nor warranty for defects in the manufacture of that vehicle. It's pretty much the same with house insurance, the company will cover certain damages to your home as outlined in your policy, but a home insurance policy does not warrant any thing that occurred before you bought the property including it's method of construcion, it will not pay for poor workmanship on the part of the builder.
