Does your house suffer from leaning walls or bowing? If so, it might be time for wall anchors. To understand how wall anchoring works, first you need to understand what causes bowing and leaning. In a single word…pressure.
This can be the result of hydrostatic pressure in the soil or water saturation. And, yes, we have had several cases in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Maryland and Delaware of homes suffering from leaning walls. With enough time under this pressure, your walls will begin to “bow.” Left untreated, the pressure can cause serious structural damage throughout your house, not just to particular walls or areas.
What Do Wall Anchors Do?
A wall anchoring system can stabilize and possibly restore your home back to its original position. Anchors are placed, at a downward angle, beyond the active zone of shifting earth. Doing this creates a lateral force that alleviates cracked and bowed walls. The process itself requires minimal excavation so there isn’t a major disturbance to your lawn.

R. D. From Steelton, PA:
"From the first call to the final installation it was fabulous. Everyone was extremely friendly and patient with all my questions. After everything was completed you couldn't even tell they had been here and did all the work that they did because they cleaned up so well. What a pleasant experience especially considering how severe the problem in my basement was. I spoke to other companies but none were as knowlegable or friendly".
