Photo Album: The Steps of a Wall Anchor Installation in Columbus, OH

  • Evidence that this foundation wall has begun to fail can be seen in the horizontal and stair-step cracking patterns, as well as inward bowing.
  • Tape is placed on the walls where the anchors will be installed.
  • Sod is carefully removed from areas outside the home where the earth anchors will be installed.
  • Earth anchor holes are augured during the exterior excavation process.
  • After a small hole is drilled through the basement wall and a rod is driven out, an earth anchor is installed and attached to the rod.
  • Wall plates are then attached and tightened, seating the exterior earth anchors. The unique wall anchor offers the ability to tighten the anchors.
  • The holes are backfilled, and the sod is replaced once the installation has been completed.

Album Description

After living in his house for more than 20 years, a homeowner in Columbus, OH, noticed issues with a cracking and bowing wall were getting worse over time. Concerned with the stability of the wall, he asked trusted friends and neighbors where to seek professional assistance.

He was impressed by a glowing referral to Ohio Basement Authority, and he chose to have us complete the necessary work because of our confidence in providing a permanent foundation repair solution.

One of our expert crews installed three Wall Anchors on the problematic east foundation wall. This system permanently stabilizes the wall and offers the best opportunity to straighten it over time.

The homeowner now has peace of mind knowing his house will be a safe and stable living environment for many more years to come.
