Leaking Fireplace?

There's nothing better than cozying up to a warm fire place as the temperatures drop. However those fireplaces, while seemingly harmless, can be hiding a huge problem if you don't pay attention!

Leaks around your fireplace can be especially troubling. How do you even get a fireplace leak, you ask? We're glad you asked! They generally come from poor home waterproofing, or by a foundation problem that has caused cracks to form in the chimney. Cracks in chimney bricks, cracks in chimney crowns, dislodged flashing and gaps between chimney and siding are all possible causes of fireplace leaks.

What will happen if I have fireplace leaks in my home?  Well, they could potentially lead to various water-related issues, such as water stains and mold or mildew growth. Brick and masonry problems, chimney problems, foundation crumbling, sheetrock and mortar problems and water seepage are all possible issues as well.

How do I know if I have a fireplace/chimney leak? If you see any of the above cracks, call the repair experts at Ground Up. They'll provide the necessary services to take care of your leaking fireplace right away.

Foundation Settlement

Does your house in the greater Nashville area have gaps or spaces? Foundation settlement can cause a myriad of issues throughout both the interior and exterior of your home. Foundations settle for multiple reasons, but the ground beneath the foundation is often the culprit. If the soil underneath the foundation is improperly compacted at the time of construction, it can result in settlement as time progresses. Erosion from excess rain and shrinkage from droughts impact the foundation similarly.

There is no place in your home for these gaps! 

Gaps and spaces are an unfortunate occurrence but should be addressed promptly. One possible solution that Ground Up Builders suggests is to inject polyurethane or epoxy into the cracks to temporarily protect them, but it may be necessary to invest in foundation repair services. Foundation shifting or settling can be difficult for the untrained eye to detect, but it can spiral into a big problem affecting multiple areas of your home. One side effect of shifting and settling is the opening of gaps between the walls and ceiling. If this is a concern in your home, it is time to enlist the help of the foundation repair experts at Ground Up Builders.
