A friend of mine's 50+ year old brick house has a footing that is
cracking off and shifting
downward in places. It's a small, one story house. We had a very dry
summer in
Chicagoland and this might account for what happened. The cracks are
narrower at the
bottom and as wide as an inch toward the overhang. There is no
basement, just a
footing around the perimeter. Anyway, could this be repaired
hydraulically somehow?
