Fireplace Separation
Visible cracks and gaps appeared where the fireplace brick was pulling away. This is an early sign of foundation settlement.

Helical Piers Installed
Two helical piers were drilled deep into stable soil to provide lasting support to the chimney structure.

Finished Support System
After installation, dirt is intentionally left piled up to allow for natural settling before final grading. The chimney is now stabilized and secure.

Chimney Tilting
From the outside, the chimney was visibly leaning and pulling away from the home-evidence of ongoing settlement.
