Product Description:
Wall Anchors are solutions designed for cracked, bowing, and bucking walls. The Wall Anchor System uses anchoring plates and rods to stabilize the wall and counteract pressure being exerted against it—without the cost and expense of rebuilding the entire wall. The technicians insert steel anchor rods through the wall to an anchor in the outside earth. Finally, steel wall plates will secure the rods to the inside basement wall. Anchors will be placed at different locations along the wall and rod extenders will be used to avoid the deck, flowerbeds, and other landscaping. In fact, the entire process takes less than a day on average. This home and lawn are left in almost the same condition as when our technicians arrived—without the bowing walls of course! These rods and anchors can then be adjusted as time goes on to continue providing the structural correction required.
Wall Anchors WILL:
? Secure a bowing wall by means of horizontal reinforcement
? Straighten a bowed wall immediately, with additional excavating
? Be able to be installed in as little as one day, without large hydraulic equipment being brought into the basement
? Predictably perform their function without depending on an epoxy adhesive the way that carbon fiber strips do (which have been documented to fail sometimes)
Wall Anchors MAY:
? Straighten a bowed wall gradually over time, by tightening the torque nuts during dry seasons of the year
Wall Anchors WILL NOT:
? Provide protection against vertical settling (their reinforcement is wholly horizontal in nature)
? Provide protection against surface water or groundwater incursion
? Take up interior space in the basement the way vertical steel I-beams do
? Place additional stresses on the main floor joist system of the house, the way that vertical steel I-beams do ? Require 15’-30’ of available depth in the yard the way helical tiebacks do
? Require large holes (8”-10” diameter) to be cut into the foundation walls, the way helical tiebacks do
How Wall Anchors are Installed in 7 Basic Steps:
Step 1: Outside, sod is removed and set aside.
Step 2: Ground is drilled to proper depth for anchor.
Step 3: Anchor is properly placed in earth.
Step 4: Anchor is set.
Step 5: Inside, threaded rod driven into anchor
Step 6: Faceplate added and tension adjusted.
Step 7: Hole refilled and sod replaced—No mess! Faceplate is flush to wall, so it’s easy to finish the basement without a trace!
