Leaning Chimneys
Leaning Chimney Repair for Homes in FL
A leaning chimney, whether the gap left is big or small, is a safety hazard. It could fall into your home or any structures around it. Homeowners that try to fix the problem themselves, often by filling in the space between the house and the chimney or attempting to support the leaning chimney, either make the problem worse or allow the problem to get worse over time. The best thing to do with a leaning chimney is contact experienced contractors, such as Foundation Pros, to come in and fix the underlying problem – your foundation.
Helical piers or steel piers can be installed underneath your home and chimney to lift them back to their original levels. These piers are used in both commercial and residential structures to keep the chimney on a stable plane, regardless of shifts in the soil beneath it. The piers can add the support needed for your chimney’s stability, fixing the lean and keeping it from leaning in the future. If you’ve got a leaning chimney Florida, contact Foundation Professionals of Florida. We are your leaning chimney Florida repair specialists.
