Leaning Chimney

Helical piers can be used to stabilize the ground beneath your chimney. Piers are placed under the chimney or, in some cases, under the foundation walls to your home, to help lift and stabilize it. These piers will prevent future sinking due to soil compaction. They also provide much-needed support for heavy masonrychimneys. Helical piers are useful when you notice many signs of foundation failure around your home. They can be placed under your foundation or chimney and are easily installed in tight places.

Carbon fiber strips can be use when a chimney is more cracked than leaning. Carbon fiber strips are installed quickly and help support the chimney. These strips also assist in sealing cracks. Atlas Piers uses high quality ECP carbon fiber strips that ensure a durable repair. Carbon fiber strips are an eco-friendly and cost effective alternative to underpinning.

A leaning chimney can be repaired in many ways, such as the options listed above. However, in some cases, it might be easiest to disassemble the chimney, apply foundation repair methods such as underpinning, and reassemble a new chimney. This is because a chimney that has leaned too far and is actively in use may be a fire hazard to your home and neighborhood.
