Shifting Soil Causes Bowing Retaining Wall
As soil shifts from frost heave, wash out, and any other number of causes, it can put pressure on anything in its way - sometimes the walls of a foundation, and sometimes a retaining wall like this one.
Wall Crack Indicates Soil Pressure
Pressure from shifting soil causes walls to bow, and when they bow far enough, concrete can crack and the structure of the wall can be compromised.
Wall Anchors Stabilize Bowing Retaining Wall
We installed wall anchors across the width of the bowing retaining wall to ensure complete stabilization.

Wall Anchor Secured in Soil
This plate secures the cable in stable soil. Dirt will be filled back in and the anchors will be tightened from the wall side on the installation.
