Block wall in the basement is bulged out a couple inches. Horizontal crack
about 30 ' long. Am getting estimates on putting wall anchors in. The
anchors consist of 9' threaded rods which are ran through the wall and
attached to a plate inside and an anchor plate in the yard...

A friend with a similar problem has a large concrete patio over the ground
outside the basement wall. Could he fix it from the inside by drilling
horizontal holes through the wall and out under the patio and installing
something like giant screw anchors or moly bolts?
