LEANING CHIMNEY REPAIR
Contact Our Experienced Foundation Repair Specialists Today
A chimney that is leaning and separating from your home is an indication that deeper issues are present. A leaning chimney is a common sign that your home is suffering from foundation or structural damage. Although not every situation is the same, a leaning chimney is a common sign that your home is suffering from some sort of foundation settlement and should be evaluated by a trained foundation repair contractor.
There are many reasons why a chimney may lean away from a house. While these causes vary, chimney separation should be taken seriously and an evaluation should be performed so the problem can be properly determined.
Causes of a leaning chimney include:
-
Shallow or inferior footings
-
Insufficient drainage or water management
-
Poorly compacted or inferior soils underneath the chimney
