@Henry Clark- Yes, your ideas are pretty much exactly what the engineer recommended after he inspected the property.
House was built in 1953. Some of the cracks in the walls have been epoxied, but not all. Engineer didn't note if there were frost free footings. Below is what the engineer recommended, along with fixing foundation braces that were installed in another part of the foundation.
● Monitor the drainage on the north, south, and east sides of the house. Improve the grade if water flows toward or pools near the house. An addition of soil, a swale, or a French drain may be necessary.
● Part of the patio on the east side of the garage has a negative slope. Hard surfaces should fall at least 1 inch per 48 inches from the home. Mudjacking, polyjacking, or replacement may be necessary to achieve the proper slope away from the foundation.
● Monitor the gutters for overflow. Clean, repair, and/or replace as needed.
● Extend all other downspouts at least 6 ft from the house. Ensure discharge flows away from the foundation.
● Replace missing elbow and extension on the downspout on the southwest corner of the house.
● The soil around the foundation should be watered with 1-2 inches of water per week during hot and dry weather patterns.
