Stop Your Chimney from Leaning with Expert Foundation Repair Solutions
A separating or leaning chimney is often a clear sign of foundation issues. Left unaddressed, a tilting chimney can lead to more serious structural problems, including water damage, pest entry, and even internal chimney liner cracks. At Perma-Seal, we specialize in reliable, long-term solutions for chimney foundation repair, ensuring that your home remains stable and safe.
Why Chimneys Start Leaning or Separating
There are several common reasons why a chimney might begin to separate from the rest of the house. Understanding these causes can help identify the most effective repair solution.
- Expansive Soils: In areas with significant freeze-thaw cycles, soil around the chimney footing expands and contracts, causing gradual movement that may destabilize the chimney.
- Low-Grade Concrete: If the original construction used substandard concrete, it can weaken over time, causing the footing to crack and the chimney to separate.
- Inadequate Footing Depth: Without sufficient depth or reinforcement, a chimney’s footing may fail to provide the support needed to keep the structure aligned with your home.
Whether your chimney is leaning, tilting, or separating our foundation repair solutions can address these root issues, restoring stability and preventing future problems.
Professional Chimney Foundation Repair Process
Repairing a chimney’s foundation is a specialized process, requiring a solid understanding of structural dynamics and appropriate tools. At Perma-Seal, we follow a precise and effective repair process:
- Helical Piles Installation: We anchor helical piles deep into load-bearing soil, creating a sturdy base for the chimney and preventing further movement.
- Bracket Installation: Brackets are attached to the helical piles and connected to the chimney pad, reinforcing the entire structure.
- Hydraulic Jack Lifting: Using hydraulic jacks, we carefully lift the chimney back into its original position, ensuring alignment with the house.
- Securing Brackets: Finally, we permanently secure the brackets to prevent any future sinking, providing a long-lasting foundation repair solution for your leaning chimney.
