Improve Your Arkansas Home's Value With a Repaired Chimney

The footing or foundation of a chimney is sometimes built separately from the house foundation (some poured at the same time). Your chimney is susceptible to shifting if it's built on soil with poor-load bearing capacity.

Our foundation repair contractors fix chimneys with our innovative Helical Pier System researched and developed by our foundation headquarters, Supportworks.

Foundation problems associated with your chimney can actually wind up being even more serious of a structural problem to your entire home. The same structural problems related to your chimney can equally effect your home foundation.

Restore Your Chimney's Structural Identity

The chimney is typically the heaviest part of your house so a leaning or tilting chimney can quickly become dangerous if the problem is not addressed. Commonly caused by soil settlement, chimney related foundation problems are visually dramatic - separating away from the home(some weighing more than tens of thousands of pounds).

Foundation Specialties LLC will send one of our professional foundation contractors to your Arkansas home to identify the specific problem associated with your chimney or your foundation. Chimney damage and failure is often related to other serious home foundation problems, so we recommend checking finding where the root of the problem is before we start repairing parts of your home.

Warning: shortcuts are bad. Many homeowners may try to do a quick fix by filling in the gap between your chimney and home. Filling in the void with masonry, caulk or some other space filling material. This is not the answer! The actual problem associated with the chimney won't be addressed and your foundation chimney problem may get worse.

There are numerous causes to why chimneys fail from surrounding soils to poor construction. Some chimneys will often fail when they an inadequate chimney footing or it some cases it may be broken or missing. When this type structural problem occurs, your chimney doesn't have the proper structural support to keep it stable for long.

Most problems associated with chimneys, such as tilting and leaning are more often related to when a home is built on poor load bearing soils.

The chimney is one of the heaviest structures of the home and is commonly constructed separately from the home itself. With this in mind it's easy to understand why one of the heaviest structures of your home would fail if and when the soil below it can't support it's weight. Tilting, cracking, and spacing may form when your chimney sinks into the soil separating from it's strongest agent, the home.

At this point you should contact a foundation repair expert because it's possible that the soils causing your chimney to fail, may actually be under your home foundation, putting your home's structural weight in jeopardy.

Repair Chimneys the Right Way -  Helical Piers

Our company, Foundation Specialties LLC, properly repairs chimney's from tilting and leaning by stabilizing the foundation with our warrantied helical pier system.

These foundation piers are mechanically advanced or "screwed" into the soil under your home. Our piers include a helical blade, made of galvanized steel, that allows the piers to be driven deep into the ground to transfer the weight of your chimney (or foundation) to the load bearing bedrock.

Once driven into the soil, a bracket is then attached to the helical pier and mounted on the footing of your chimney's foundation. Once installed, the helical pier can offers permanent stabilization and support. Our helical piers even are your home's best opportunity to return your chimney to its original position.
