Tilting & Leaning Chimneys in Alabama
Tilting Chimneys: A Clear Sign of Foundation Issues
A tilting or leaning chimney is more than just an eyesore—it’s a warning sign that your home’s foundation may be in trouble. A chimney that is pulling away from your home can lead to serious structural damage if not addressed promptly. At APS Foundation Repair, we specialize in diagnosing and repairing the foundation issues that cause tilting chimneys, ensuring your home remains safe and stable.
Why Do Chimneys Tilt?
Chimneys can begin to tilt or lean due to a variety of underlying foundation problems. Common causes include:
- Foundation Settlement: If your foundation settles unevenly, it can cause the chimney to tilt as the structure shifts.
- Soil Movement: Expansive soils that expand and contract with moisture changes can lead to movement in the foundation, affecting the chimney’s stability.
- Poor Foundation Construction: If the chimney’s foundation was not built properly or lacks adequate support, it may begin to lean over time.
- Water Damage: Moisture infiltration can weaken the mortar or bricks, contributing to the chimney pulling away from the home.
A tilting chimney can indicate severe foundation damage that, if left unaddressed, may result in further structural issues. APS specializes in identifying the root causes of tilting chimneys and providing effective solutions to stabilize and secure your home.
