A wall anchoring device for straightening a bowed foundation wall, and a method of anchoring the foundation wall to the surrounding soil, including an elongate member engaging a hollow tube at one end for driving an opposite chisel end of the tube into the earth. The hollow tube includes pivotable anchor arms that spread away from the hollow tube which is drawn back toward the foundation wall to anchor the device to the earth. A brace plate is forced against the interior of the foundation wall by tightening a fastening nut onto the elongate member so that outward pressure is applied to the foundation wall to straighten it.
