Foundation Repair Photo Album: Foundation Settlement Repair in Nashville, TN

This customer in Nashville, TN needed foundation repair for a separating Chimney. We Installed a Helical Pier with a low profile bracket to fix the issue for them.    As most houses are built, the chimney's foundation is added to the home's foundation (some are poured at the same time). A full masonry chimney can weigh tens of thousands of pounds.   If your chimney's foundation (or the soils underneath that foundation) are unable to support the weight of the chimney, it will begin to tilt. A helical pier system can repair this damage.   Your chimney or smokestack is tilting and separating from your home. Telltale Signs: Leaning or tilting of the chimney Cracks where the chimney foundation meets the home foundation Damage to the roof where flashing meets the chimney Gaps between the chimney and home walls that have been filled in with mortar, foam, or caulk.   How to Fix It: We repair tilting chimneys with the Foundation Supportworks Helical Pier System. However, structural issues with your chimney are often connected to other potentially serious foundation problems. The same problems that caused your chimney to lean and show signs of failure can apply equally to your foundation.   We fix tilting, leaning chimneys!
