Returning the existing wall to vertical would not likely be practical or a
long term solution. I would consider dismantling the wall and reusing the
bricks to rebuild it with the proper footing, drainage, and anchors. If the
dirt behind is only 4 ft high, dry, and solid it probably would not be
necessary to excavate it. Google or your local library can provide the
needed information if you want to do it yourself or ensure that a contractor
does it properly. If built improperly it will likely not be evident until
the builder is long gone.
