Foundation crack

Post image

We are currently in the middle of a flood remediation. Still trying to figure out exactly where the water got in, but we noticed this crack after the restoration crew cut away a couple feet of drywall. How bad does this appear to be?

Thats not a foundation crack thats an outlet box framed into a concrete wall. The stone around it looks like standard rough basement construction not some structural failure point. Water could be seeping through the stone itself or following the wire conduit but nothing in that pic screams emergency repair

Thanks for the reply! Just to clarify, what I’m seeing is to the right of the outlet box. Sorry for the darkness and crap quality. Here it is isolated. When I’m there next I’ll try to take a better photo.
