WALL ANCHOR SYSTEM
CRACKING,
BOWED, OR
BUCKLING
WALLS?
If left untreated, cracking, bowing,
or buckling can completely destroy
a wall. There are varying degrees of
bowing or bulging basement walls.
At a minimum, the condition should
be assessed by a certified technician
to determine the severity
Cracking, bowed, or buckling walls are a homeowner’s worst nightmare. After all, your
home is likely your biggest investment. Thankfully, the Grip-Tite Wall Anchor System
allows you to restore the structural integrity of your home without rebuilding its walls. This
system was developed and patented by Grip-Tite’s engineers in 1973. The Grip-Tite Wall
Anchor System secures and stabilizes deteriorating walls effectively—and more
affordably—than rebuilding them.
Save time, money, and hassle. Rebuilding foundation walls involves lifting up a house,
excavating around the walls, and then building new walls. It isn’t hard to imagine what this
does to your home, yard, and pocketbook. The Grip-Tite Wall Anchor System uses high
strength steel and anchoring plates and rods to secure and stabilize any deteriorating
walls with much less time and mess. These plates and rods stabilize walls by
counteracting pressure being exerted against that wall.
Steel anchor rods are inserted through the wall into the outside earth. A steel anchor is
then attached to the rod through a vertical hole in the ground. Finally, a steel wall plate
secures the rod to the inside basement wall. The anchor counteracts pressure on the wall
preventing structure damage, as it does not rely on floor joists or wood framing as the
reaction. Anchors can be placed to avoid decks and landscaping, and the entire process
usually takes less than a day.
