Cool nterintuitive and we'll ...controversial to say the least..LIVE BENEATH YOUR MEANS

You can gut and redo the interior, but if the problem is faulty drainage, or underground springs beneath the foundation it will come right back.

hi jeremy. i would agree with bill. i would bet the downspout was draining right next to the foundation which is completely against the whole point of a downspout. you want to devert water away from the house, not dump huge amounts of water right next to the house......lol. i would have to say, from a home inspectors point of view, the water has probably eroded the soil beneath the footing and caused the footing to collapse, allowing the foundation to crack and collapse with it. you could get away with just tuck pointing it, but it will come back. the repairs could be extensive and expensive and jacking the house could be involved. it could also involve a small area of the footing/ foundation and allow you to rebuild just that area too. hard to say without actually being there. check with a local structural engineer and weigh the costs verses the value of the house. after all, thats what real estate investing gets down to. good luck to you
