Wall Anchors – Stop Bowing Basement Walls with Proven Reinforcement
When soil pressure pushes too hard against your foundation, basement walls may begin to bow, crack, or lean inward. Left uncorrected, this can lead to complete wall failure and expensive structural damage. At Force Basements, we use wall anchors to permanently stabilize and restore failing walls — without the need for a full foundation rebuild.
We proudly install the SafeBase™ Wall Anchor System, one of the strongest and most trusted solutions in the industry for bowing or tilting basement walls.
How Force Basements Uses Wall Anchors to Stabilize Your Foundation
We install wall anchors to pull your wall back toward its original position and resist future movement caused by hydrostatic pressure, expansive soils, or poor drainage.
1. Foundation Wall Inspection
We assess your wall for inward bowing, stair-step cracks, soil pressure, and overall structural stability to determine if wall anchors are appropriate.
2. Design Anchor Layout
We design a custom layout of anchor locations based on your wall’s length, height, and amount of movement.
3. SafeBase™ Wall Anchor Installation
We install the SafeBase™ Wall Anchor System, which includes:
-
Galvanized steel anchor plates on the interior basement wall
-
Earth anchors embedded in undisturbed soil outside your foundation
-
Steel rods connecting both components to counteract inward pressure
These anchors are gradually tightened over time to restore wall alignment while immediately stopping movement.
4. Clean Backfill and Restoration
We carefully backfill the excavated area and restore your lawn or landscaping as part of our clean, efficient process.

FAQs About Wall Anchors
How long do wall anchors last?
Wall anchors are designed to be a permanent solution. The SafeBase™ system is made from corrosion-resistant steel and comes with a long-term warranty.
Do wall anchors disrupt my yard?
Minimal excavation is required. We carefully dig to install the exterior anchor plate and fully restore your lawn or landscaping afterward.
Can wall anchors straighten my wall?
Yes — while they immediately stop further movement, gradual tightening over time can help bring walls closer to their original position.
