In-laws have a significantly cracked foundation. It's made of concrete blocks and was built about 1963-1965. It's in a lowish-area and is near a re-routed creek. The creek re-routing was done when the homes were built, early 1960s. The house is about 2200 s.f. and is a 2 story colonial, typical mid-60s construction in the midwest.
I would like some references (websites or books) on:
1. How to diagnose what caused the foundation to crack (fail).
2. What are the options for repair and/or reconstruction?
Thanks for any suggestions on where to conduct the research.
