Outside Work Area
Several wall anchors are installed, matching the number of outside earth anchors and holes needing to be properly dug in certain positions. SEE the double wall anchor plate that will be installed to the connecting rod in each hole.
Wall Anchoring Rods
Each anchoring system has an interior and exterior steel plates connected by a galvanized rod. NOTE: the epoxy crack repair that has re-cracked and the wall shifted in more.
Length View of Wall Anchoring
Several rods are placed through the basement foundation wall to install the proper number of anchoring systems to stop the inward movement of the basement wall.
Rod Inside of the Dug Anchoring Hole
Inside the hole at the right side of the hole the anchoring rod was installed from inside the basement to the exterior.
Earth Anchor Plates Installed
Once the anchoring rod is in place then the double plates for the exterior anchor is connected to the rod from the interior wall anchor plate and tighten.

Interior Finished View
Now the anchors are all in place for a completely repaired and warrantied foundation wall.
Corner Close Up of Two Wall Anchor Plates
Both the interior and exterior anchoring plates as well as the connection rod are "Hot Dipped" galvanized. Which means at the time of producing these steel products while the material was still hot from the pattern it is placed in galvanizing liquid. This process ensures that the galvanization is part of the steel product and NOT a coating that could be scratched off.
