Tilting Chimeny

Over time, the homeowner noticed the chimney started tilting away from the home. This caused significant stress to the homeowner and posed a potential severe risk to the home. This was likely due to settlement, especially given the nature of the soil surrounding the home.

Helical Pier Installation

Our crew installed a Helical Pier underneath the footing that was supporting the chimney. This Helical Pier was driven into the ground until durable soil was reached. Once the Helical Pier was in place, it was pressurized to 1000psi to support and stabilize the footing and the weight that rested on top of it.
