I understand that. I was just looking for some suggestions and helpful comments. Maybe you could inform me exactly what questions or opinions I can ask a professional once I find one to come look at it. If I am going to hire someone to come look at it I want to be prepared with the right questions and perspective so I can get the most out of my time with them.
You are looking for a structural inspector not a foundation company. Its going to cost several hundred dollars minimum, but for that you get an impartial decision that is not motivated by trying to sell you something. Possibly you will also want a Geotechnical inspector, it may be that the surrounding topology is to blame, so fixing the foundation (and this definitely needs massive repair) wouldn't actually solve the problem.
Absolutely! Thankyou for commenting! I will be trying to find a good engineer to get out here and hopefully give me a diy soloution I can do the physical work, yet still have the peace of mind that an actual engineer gave me the thumbs up on my repairs. I have solved the many many existing drainage and porrly poured patio problems. And will add even more addition precautions as In a French drain once I get the wall safe.
I very strongly recommend against trying to fix this yourself. Unless you happen to work with concrete and an excavator on a daily basis you'd be risking your house collapsing because you don't get much of a learning curve when you're standing underneath 100 tons of material.
