Foundation and Chimney Repair in Cumming, GA

Anglin's has repaired foundations, chimneys and structural masonry across north Georgia since 1930, out of one office in Marietta. Cumming is one of the towns our crews cover.

Cumming is the seat of Forsyth County and wraps around the south end of Lake Lanier.

Being close to the water changes the ground. Low ground near the rivers and lakes here holds water far longer than the ridges above it, and a footing that stays wet through a Georgia summer and then dries out hard in a drought is a footing that moves. Slopes running down to the water add their own problem, which is soil pressure against a wall that was never built to hold it back.

Most of the houses we are called to in Cumming are newer, which surprises people into thinking the ground gets a pass. It does not. Newer houses here are typically two storey on a poured basement, and the failures we are called for are basement walls bowing under soil pressure, settlement at an addition or a garage corner, and steps and stoops pulling away from the house.
