Abstract:

A method for anchoring and straightening a wall which extends below the ground including the steps of forming a hole in the ground at a distance from the wall, forming an opening in the wall from one side of the wall at a level below the ground, driving a shaft through the opening in the wall until one end thereof extends into the hole in the ground, securing an anchoring device to the end of the member in the hole, attaching a wall plate to the other end of the shaft by threading a nut onto the other end of the shaft and tightening the nut so that the wall plate is forced against the wall to thereby straighten and anchor the wall.
