What caused the soot damage? All homeowners policies determine factors based on the cause of the damage. This has to be determined first. If the soot is from you using the fireplace over time without closing the flue and it happened over the years to where it is now noticeable, there is not coverage for such. If you had a fire that was covered under the policy, then it would be covered and removed.
