One of the signs of foundation problems is a leaning or tilting chimney. If the chimney is leaning or tilting away from the home, the problem is likely a foundation problem. This is caused due to several reasons including:

So if you have a leaning chimney, it is important to have an experienced foundation repair expert come and inspect your entire home’s exterior and look for some of the other signs of foundation failure such as cracks in the brickwork and gaps between doors and windows. AMC911 Crawl Space & Foundation Repair has professionals that will come and give you a free inspection and offer you the foundation repair solutions you need.

After inspecting the exterior of your home, we will take a look at the interior and see if there are any signs there that may indicate a foundation problem. Some of these signs are:

When it comes to your leaning chimney, you may see a gap between the home’s siding and the exterior chimney. This is a sign that your chimney has started to lean and is in need of repair. Trying to caulk the gap will only mask the problem and the leaning and tilting chimney will only get worse and cause more damage.

Leaning and Tilting Chimney Repair Virginia

AMC911 Crawl Space & Foundation Repair uses helical piers to stabilize and straighten and stabilize a leaning chimney. These helical piers look like giant screws and are installed using hydraulic equipment. These helical piers are driven deep into the soil under the chimney until they reach load-bearing soil. The brackets are placed on the piers and placed under the chimney footings. Once in place, hydraulic jacks are used to slowly lift the chimney back to its original position. Next, the bracket is secured to the pier and the jacks removed. This repair method is much more cost-effective than tearing out your chimney and replacing it.

After the chimney repair, we will inspect your entire structure and see if there are other foundation problems.

If we find that you are in need of further foundation repair, we will use steel push piers to lift and stabilize your foundation. These piers are also driven deep into the soil through unstable soil layers until they reach a solid soil layer. Then the entire weight of the structure is transferred onto the piers to live and stabilize the structure. These steel push piers will keep the foundation stable for many years to come.
