Foundation problem on inner stem wall
New to all this but this purchase is actually for a primary residence. There is a foundation issue on one of the inner stem walls. This was caused from a drainage issue that was addressed only a few years ago, but the damage from years of water is done. I have reached out to an engineer to do a complete inspection. I read on another discussion that I should steer away from foundation issues that are on inner walls. Will a few more of you weigh in on this. It is for my primary residence, that I will live in for most likely the remainder of my life.
