What Causes A Leaning Chimney?
While your first instinct may be to think your chimney was poorly constructed, that may not be the case at all. A leaning chimney is often a sign of a sinking or settling foundation resulting from a number of other problems. Some of these common foundation problems that lead to a leaning chimney include the following:
- Expanding and contracting soil leaving gaps
- Soil erosion caused by excessive moisture
- No proper waterproofing system in place
- Settling foundation
In addition to foundation problems, there may also be issues with the chimney construction. Whatever the cause, the team at Kelley Construction Contractors, Inc. will uncover it.
