I put a new roof the house about two years ago and had noticed some rot in the upper plate and header where the rafters met up with the chimney. Was unable to access it from the top so I finally got around to pulling down the fireplace face brick and started working the wall.
The plate and header have pulled apart as well as some gaps around the storm door. I was still convinced it was the brick that had contracted from the drought and nothing more. It wasn't until a threw the level down on it that I felt like Rick Perry in a debate, Oops!
I've contacted several foundation repair companies and have been doing some research, but am still uneasy about the whole ordeal. Anybody have experience in this area?
