While rebuilding a foundation wall involves jacking up the house, excavating around the wall and building a new wall, the 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 entire 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 wall and rod extenders can be used to avoid decks, flowerbeds, and other landscaping. The entire process usually takes less than one day and since we do not rebuild the entire wall, your home and lawn are left in almost the same condition as when technicians arrived.
