Which Way Is Your Chimney Leaning?

Leaning chimneys can be caused by several different factors. When looking at the way your chimney is leaning, the direction the chimney is leaning can tell you the type of foundation issue you are facing. Ram Jack Texas - Houston's team of experts are here to help.

LEANING CHIMNEY TOWARDS YOUR HOME

If it looks like the chimney is about to crash onto your roof, because it is leaning forward, you have a significant structural problem.

LEANING CHIMNEY AWAY FROM YOUR HOME

If it looks like the chimney is about to crash and fall in your yard, because it is pulling away from your house, you more than likely have a foundation problem.

There are several factors that could cause a chimney to start leaning away from a house. Here are some of the most common reasons:

• Shallow Footings
• Poor Drainage
• Poor soils that can’t handle a concentrated load

If any of these factors are the cause for your leaning chimney, helical piles can be installed to support the chimney in most cases. Using the piles, the chimney can be pushed back to as close to its normal position and raised at the same time. This will provide your home with a much better look.

You can look for foundation issues on the inside and outside of your house. There are many things that can cause foundation damage. So while you are out checking up on your chimney, be sure and look around your home for damage.
