Wall Anchor Installation in Western PA
Wall anchors use steel plates and rods to connect your basement wall to stable soil beyond your foundation. This system not only stops wall movement but can gradually straighten bowed walls back toward their original position over time through periodic tightening.
What We Provide
Signs You Need Wall Anchors
If you notice any of these warning signs, contact us for a free inspection.
Wall Bowing More Than 2 Inches
When wall displacement exceeds 2 inches, wall anchors are the recommended solution. They provide the pulling force needed to address significant movement.
Walls Actively Moving or Tilting
If your walls are continuing to move inward, wall anchors provide active resistance against ongoing soil pressure.
Severe Cracking Patterns
Large horizontal cracks, significant stair-step cracking, or walls separating from the floor or ceiling indicate the need for wall anchor stabilization.
How Our Wall Anchors Process Works
Engineering Assessment
We evaluate wall displacement, soil conditions, and structural loads to design an anchor system specific to your foundation.
Anchor Installation
We bore through the wall and into stable soil beyond your home, install earth anchors, and connect them to interior wall plates with steel rods.
Initial Tensioning
We tension each anchor to stabilize the wall and begin the straightening process. This is done carefully to avoid overstressing the wall.
Ongoing Adjustments
Over time, wall anchors can be periodically tightened to gradually pull the wall back. This is especially effective during spring when soils are saturated and pliable.
Wall Anchors Questions Answered
Common questions about our services. Can't find your answer? Call us.
How much do wall anchors cost?
Wall anchor installation typically costs $2,500-$4,000 per anchor, with most walls requiring 3-6 anchors. Total project costs usually range from $7,500-$20,000 depending on the number of anchors and wall condition.
Can wall anchors straighten my basement wall?
Yes. Unlike carbon fiber straps which only prevent further movement, wall anchors can be periodically tightened to gradually pull the wall back toward its original position. This is best done over multiple seasons.
Do wall anchors require digging up my yard?
Wall anchors require small excavation points in your yard where the earth anchors are placed -typically 10-12 feet from your foundation. This is far less disruptive than full exterior excavation.
