Leaking Chimney Repair with The Basement Doctor of Cincinnati in Erlanger, KY
Challenge
A homeowner in Cincinnati first reached out to The Basement Doctor with a persistent issue: their chimney was pulling away from the house, causing leaks and water damage inside. The root cause? A failing chimney foundation that had shifted over time, leaving gaps where water could infiltrate. If left unaddressed, this could lead to even more severe structural and moisture-related problems.
To ensure a permanent fix, we partnered with our sister company, The Basement Doctor, to stabilize and restore the chimney before sealing it against future leaks.
Solution
