I bought a house with serious foundation wall problem 2 years ago. Two walls has serios crack on it. I remember i asked JY101 before we purchased the house, he gave us lots of good advice and we ends up purchased the house. Have professionals looked at it and i got three type of quotes.
1. Braching it with columns $3000- 5000
2. Anchoring it, $5000-8000
3. replace the foundation wall $12000 - 20000
We ends up replacing the foundation wall (old terra cotta brick) with cast in place concrete. Cost us $15000(including adding foundation drain and sump pump). We like it, it completely change the basement look.
