As time goes on, many of our once “new” appliances wear out and can sometimes lead to serious damage if not taken care of right away. Leaning/tilted chimneys, those that separate from your house, can happen over time. Your chimney can separate from your house for different reasons. One, the soil the chimney is standing on could be loose as it expands and contracts with water and warm to cold climate conditions. Your chimney can also start to lean based on the cracks of the concrete supporting the chimney. If you notice any usually bludge or gaps between your home and your chimney, contact your local chimney repair contractor for an inspection. A professional will be able to help you determine the issue and fix it in a timely matter before it becomes worse.
