How It Works

Engineered to stop wall movement

Bowed, cracked, or leaning basement walls are a sign that the structural integrity of your home is at risk. This happens when hydrostatic pressure from water buildup saturates the soil around the basement wall, causing it to swell and push inward.

The Grip-Tite® Wall Anchor System counteracts that pressure using an interior wall plate, an exterior soil anchor, and a connecting high-strength steel rod. The system works on concrete block, clay block, and poured concrete walls.

Once installed, the system stabilizes the wall immediately — and in most cases can gradually straighten it over time by periodically tightening the anchor rod, all without excavation.

1

Measure Distances

Technicians measure the layout and mark anchor placement points along the affected wall both inside and outside the home.

2

Remove & Save Sod

Small sections of sod are carefully removed and saved so your lawn looks virtually untouched after the job is complete.

3

Excavate & Drill

Small holes are excavated in the yard and a hole is drilled through the basement wall to thread the connecting steel rod.

4

Install Anchors & Wall Plate

The exterior soil anchor and interior wall plate are installed and the system is tightened to immediately stabilize the wall.

5

Fill Holes & Replace Sod

Holes are backfilled and sod is replaced. The low-profile wall plate inside can be painted or finished over seamlessly.

Key Advantages

A smarter fix for failing walls.

No Excavation Required

The system installs from inside the basement outward — no need to dig up the yard around your foundation.

Stabilizes & Straightens

Immediately stabilizes bowed, leaning, and sheared walls — and can gradually straighten them over time.

Done in Under a Day

The entire installation typically takes less than one day with minimal disruption to your home and yard.

Cost-Effective

A far more affordable alternative to full wall replacement — without sacrificing structural integrity or safety.

Don't Overlook the Signs

Is your basement wall telling you something?

Your home is likely your biggest investment. If left untreated, cracking, bowing, or buckling can completely destroy a wall. The condition should be assessed by a certified technician to determine the severity before it gets worse.
