A small hole is drilled through the basement wall and a rod is driven out.

Step 3

The anchors are installed in stable soil and attached to the rods.

Step 4

The steel rods are cut down, and a wall plate is placed over them, attached to the rod, and tightened to provide an opportunity for the wall to be straightened.
