Leaning Chimneys - Foundation Repair Tip of the Day #108.
Have you ever seen a learning or tilting chimney?
In today’s #FoundationRepair #TipOfTheDay Brian and Mark are back to discuss fireplaces and chimneys. In Southern California we often see chimneys learning or tilting, and most of the time it is due to the heavy weight of the fireplace that’s usually sitting on its own, small foundation. The center of gravity can be pretty high on the fireplace so as soon as an area of its footing begins to settle, they’ll usually begin to noticeable separate from the home.
