Leaning Chimney Repair

This homeowner just purchased his home and has big plans to fix it up. Before moving forward with his projects he wanted to address his chimney that is leaning away from the house. It's fairly common for fireplaces to settle and can be caused by several things. The back-fill soil could be sinking and no longer supporting the structure or the gutters and downspouts may not be moving water far enough from the foundation. To support this chimney, we installed two push piers. The push piers will permanently support the fireplace by taking soil out of the equation.
