Wall Anchors

What are Wall Anchors?

Wall anchors are used in foundation repair to stabilize and reinforce bowing or cracked walls. These devices consist of heavy-duty steel plates and rods that are strategically installed to counteract external pressure exerted on basement or retaining walls. By anchoring the walls to stable soil around the foundation, wall anchors effectively prevent further movement and deterioration. They also ensure the structural integrity of a building. Using wall anchors is a proven method to address foundation issues, offering a long-term solution to maintain the safety and stability of all homes.

Signs You Need Wall Anchors for Your Foundation

If you are unsure whether your home needs wall anchors,  look out for these common signs that your home needs wall anchor installation:

  • Basement walls bowing more than 2 inches
  • Wall cracks that are vertical, stair-step, or diagonal
  • Gaps between walls and floors
  • Uneven floors

If you notice any of these signs, call our team today for further information!

Benefits of Installing Wall Anchors

There are plenty of benefits to installing wall anchors in your home:

Durability and Versatility

Wall anchors are built to last. They are made from high-quality materials that can withstand the pressures exerted by shifting soil. Their versatility allows them to be used in a variety of soil conditions, making them a reliable solution for many properties.

Structural Support for the Foundation

Wall anchors provide great structural support to your foundation by counteracting the lateral pressure exerted by expanding soil. The added support helps prevent further damage and maintains the stability of your entire home.

Straightened Basement Walls

Over time, the tension applied by wall anchors can gradually pull bowed or leaning walls back into their original, upright position. This not only improves the appearance of your basement but also ensures the long-term health of your home’s structure.

Minimal Disturbances

The installation of wall anchors involves minimal disruption to your property and daily life. The process is relatively quick and doesn’t require extensive excavation. It allows you to maintain your normal routine and easily maintain your home’s structural stability.

Increased Property Value

A home with a strong and healthy foundation is more attractive to potential buyers. Installing wall anchors can increase your property’s value. Your home will be structurally sound and free from major foundation issues.

Cost-Effective

Compared to other foundation repair methods, wall anchors are a cost-effective solution. They offer a long-term fix that prevents further damage, saving you from more expensive repairs in the future while providing significant benefits at a reasonable cost.

Lamunyon’s Wall Anchoring Process in Kansas

Wall Anchoring Process

Our wall anchoring process includes seven different steps.

Step 1: Installing Wall Anchor

The first step in Lamunyon’s wall anchoring process involves installing the wall anchor deep in the earth, approximately 10 feet from the foundation wall.

Step 2: Drilling Holes

Next, holes are drilled through the basement wall from the inside. These holes allow steel rods to pass through and connect the interior wall plates to the exterior anchor plates, helping to form a secure anchor system.

Step 3: Driving Rods

In this step, steel rods are driven through the drilled holes from the inside of the basement to the wall anchor outside. These rods serve as the vital link between the interior wall plates and the exterior anchor plates.

Step 4: Connecting Plates

The interior wall plates are then attached to the ends of the steel rods inside the basement. This step creates a continuous anchoring system between the interior wall and the exterior anchor placed in stable soil outside.

Step 5: Tightening the Cable

The steel rods are equipped with a tightening mechanism that allows tension to be increased gradually. As the cable is tightened gradually, the wall anchors begin to straighten and stabilize the bowed or cracked foundation walls, restoring their integrity.

Step 7: Backfilling

Finally, the hole is backfilled with soil, covering the exterior anchor plates. Step 7 completes the installation process. After the entire process is complete, your home will have a reinforced foundation that effectively resists future soil pressure and movement.

We also contact you after the installation to ensure that you don’t encounter any other issues.

Are Wall Anchors Permanent?

Yes! Wall anchors are a long-term solution to bowing walls. They are designed to help your basement walls permanently resist lateral movement. Once they have been installed, they will prevent your walls from continuing to bow or crack and can be used to straighten them gradually.

Are Wall Anchors Worth the Money?

Absolutely! Wall anchors are worth your money and will last a long time. The cost of wall anchors depends on the size of the area, material costs, location, and labor costs. Insurance and other variables can also impact the cost.

Totally recommend the team at Lamunyon that gave us exceptional service from the time we picked up the phone and the experience of Cody with the estimate, all through seeing the job done to our satisfaction!Betty L.Betty L. ★★★★★ Stan and I are completely satisfied with the services provided by Lamunyon. We had a broken main water pipe which caused water deep enough to cause waves from wall to wall across a large part of our basement. We called Lamunyon and are extremely happy with the way Jeremiah and his team came in and immediately assessed the damage and handled the restoration process. He was very knowledgeable and knew exactly what was needed and kept us informed throughout the entire process. If we ever have a situation like this again, we will definitely call Lamunyon and request Jeremiah. We recommend Lamunyon to anyone who has a need for water restoration.Martin T.Martin T. ★★★★★ Professional, friendly and timely service. Came out and cleaned up mess even staying late. Lance and Tim were great to work with.Rachel M.Rachel M. ★★★★★ We had some settling along the front wall of our house to the point where we saw cracks in the wall and our front door wasn't operational. Lamunyon was then recommended to come in and stabilize the house so it wouldn't sink anymore. They quoted us needing 8 helical piers up to 20 feet deep to help stabilize the stem wall that was holding up our slab house. Unfortunately due to the type of soil under my house, we had to go deeper than 20 feet on them all so we had some overages. The cost for those overages was laid out ahead of time by Cody, who did the bid, and again reconfirmed by Matt before he started working. Everyone I worked with was fantastic and answered all of my questions. Starting from the initial call into the office to set up a bid, to Cody coming out to see what was going on as well as explaining his process for how he got to the bid numbers and last but not least the work that Matt, Jeff, Jonah and David all did to get the piers in place and fill in the hole. These were all a great experience and I would highly recommend them to anyone that is having foundation issues!! They also quoted us for three days work and that is what it took even though they had more work than they originally planned for due to the soil being a little more sandy and loose. Once again thank you for the work you did! It is one of those things that I would hope I never need to have done again but at least I know who my first call will be to!Charlene H.Charlene H. ★★★★★ Very prompt and did a professional job. This is the 2nd time they have worked for us and both times. did a fantastic job.Derrek J.Derrek J. ★★★★★ Recently, we faced the challenging situation of significant water damage to our business property.

He and the Lamuyon team wholeheartedly care for those they serve.Thank you for your outstanding support. What could have been a stressful ordeal was managed with remarkable ease and professionalism.

He advised that it would take a few weeks for scheduling which was fine. During the consultation Cody was thorough with the process and the time it would take to fix the leak. On the day of service Matt and Jesse did a great job, explained what would take place and got to work immediately. Once the job was done Matt explained everything that he and Jesse did and explained it a second time when my husband was on the phone. They left the area clean and clear, they were both really polite and informative of the service provided. Truly appreciate Lamunyon and their services 10/10 highly recommend!!!Stu D.Stu D. ★★★★★ Smooth process from start to finish, and these guys truly respect your property.

From Cody inspecting, preparing the bid, and explaining the process in detail to Matt completing the job. Anytime I reached out to Cody, he not only replied to my email, but also called me. When the work was performed, Matt was very professional and once again explained everything in detail. Even when a change order occurred, Matt reached out right away to inform me of why there was a change and the price difference. Matt and his team member went above and beyond to make sure everything went smoothly and the job would be completed on time.Linda M.Linda M. ★★★★★ Everyone I interacted with, from Cody (Estimator/quoter), Scheduling, and the workers, were all very honest and reliable with their information and work. I especially appreciated being told what work really needed to be done vs selling all the bells and whistles we couldn’t afford. The workers have a good sense of humor and work hard for their earnings (ethics that can be harder to find these days). They did an excellent job of protecting our property and cleaning up after each phase of work. God bless you all, we feel much safer in our home now.Brian B.Brian B. ★★★★★ Based on a neighbor's recommendation, this was my first experience with Lamunyon.

The communication was fantastic and everyone was very professional.Teresa “.Teresa “. ★★★★★ It all started with Cody, who provided the estimate. Very professional and courtesy. He was thorough with explaining the process. The install crew- Drew, Kaleb, and Paul, did an outstanding job with installing a drain tile, waler beams, and anchors in my basement. They worked hard all week and in incredibly hot weather. Very courtesy and professional guys. Drew, the foreman, was meticulous and made sure they cleaned up every day. Couldn't have asked for a better group of guys. Thanks!Rod E.Rod E. ★★★★★ Very good crew; easy to work with, clearly explained the process, cleaned up when done. I would hire them again, though I hope I don’t need to.Marilyn B.Marilyn B. ★★★★★ The work was very well done. I was referred by a local rug dealer who helped me call Lamonyan. That was at about 5 PM in the evening. They arrived at about 7:30 PM and stayed till almost 10 o'clock cleaning up as much as they could. The workers were great. They fully understood my concern and depression about the entire situation. This company goes the extra mile to clean up the situation and help you understand why it is necessary to do the things they do. Hope this never happens to me again. If it should, they would be the first company I would call Marilyn Braun, Victoria, Kansasjs_loader
