Chimneys and porches that stay attached.
Leaning chimneys and porches that have pulled away from the house are supported with new footings or piers and repaired so they stay put.
- Timeline: Days
- Methods: Piers, new footings, tuckpointing
- Seal: Flashing and sealant at the joint
What it is, and why it matters.
Chimneys and porches are heavy and often sit on shallower footings than the house. When they settle, they lean and pull away, letting water in and cracking masonry.
We support them with new footings or piers, close the gap, repair cracked masonry and flash the joint so water stays out.
Four things done right.
Supported properly
Footings reach firm soil.

Water is kept out of the joint.
