Home Foundation Repair Photo Album: Leaning Brick Chimney Stabilized in Macon, GA
Ken and Polly Q. of Macon, GA had a problem. Over time their chimney separated from the house and leaned at a precarious angle. One of Ken and Polly’s neighbors referred them to Lowcountry Basement Systems for a free inspection of their chimney. An inspector went to Ken and Polly’s house, examined the situation and recommended stabilizing the chimney with a Push Pier System. The galvanized steel push piers are hydraulically driven into the ground, down to the load bearing strata where the weight of the leaning chimney could be transferred from its unstable footing. Two piers were screwed into the ground at the base of the chimney. This below-grade solution hydraulically lifted the chimney back into place. The solution was perfect and it was concealed from sight. The chimney was now stabilized and Ken and Polly were thrilled!
