Foundation and Chimney Repair in Suwanee, GA

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

Suwanee built out mostly after 1990, so its houses are young and its ground is not.

This is Piedmont red clay over weathered granite, which is the ground most of Metro Atlanta is built on and the reason most of what we fix traces back underneath the house. That clay swells when it takes on water and shrinks back when it dries, season after season. Footings settle unevenly, walls take pressure they were not built for, and a chimney that stood straight for fifty years starts to lean.

Most of the houses we are called to in Suwanee 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.
