Anchor System
Repairing Basement Walls

When it comes to cracking, buckling or a bowing basement wall, many homeowners are surprised to learn that rebuilding the entire wall isn't necessary and won't solve their problem. The Anchored Walls® Wall Anchor System, using technology developed by engineers, which has been evaluated and approved by building officials of the International Code Council, can be used to secure and stabilize deteriorating walls. The first wall anchor system to be patented, the Anchored Walls® Wall Anchor System restores the structural integrity of walls without having to rebuild them-saving you time and money.

Foundation Wall Repair That Doesn't Leave Your Home and Lawn in Disrepair

While rebuilding a foundation wall involves jacking up the house, excavating around the wall and building a new wall, the Anchored Walls® Wall Anchor System uses anchoring plates and rods to stabilize the wall and counteract pressure being exerted against the wall-without the cost and expense of rebuilding the basement wall.

Technicians install this system by inserting a steel anchor rod through the wall into the outside earth. A steel anchor is then attached to the rod through a vertical hole in the ground. Finally, a steel wall plate secures the rod to the inside basement wall.

Anchors can be placed in different locations along the basement wall and rod extenders can be used to avoid decks, flowerbeds and other landscaping. The entire process usually takes one day. Since we do not rebuild the entire wall, your home and lawn are left in almost the same condition as when the technicians arrived.
