Common Causes of a Leaning Chimney

A leaning chimney can be caused by several factors, including:

• Foundation Settlement: Over time, the foundation of your home may shift, causing the chimney to lean. Soil erosion, moisture, or poor initial construction can accelerate this process.
• Weather Damage: Harsh weather conditions, such as heavy winds, freezing temperatures, and rain, can weaken your chimney’s structure, leading to tilting or cracking.
• Water Damage: Excessive moisture infiltration from leaks in the chimney crown, cap, or flashing can cause the mortar joints to weaken and the chimney to shift.
• Age and Wear: Over time, all chimneys will experience some level of wear and tear. For older chimneys, neglecting necessary repairs can lead to leaning or tilting.

When you contact us for leaning chimney repair, we begin with a thorough inspection. We assess the severity of the lean and identify the root cause of the problem. This allows us to create a tailored repair plan that addresses your chimney’s specific needs.
