What happens here

After applying the duct seal, the individual uses a hammer drill to bore a pilot hole into the concrete foundation directly below the cable. Once the hole is drilled, a concrete anchor (such as a Tapcon or sleeve anchor) is inserted. A metal strap, designed to secure cables, is then positioned around the repaired cable and fastened to the foundation using screws driven into the previously installed anchor. This provides physical support and protection to the cable.

Goal: Physically secure the cable to the foundation.
