Derek: There is a process called concrete injecting that is used to correct problems once the problem has been identified. If you are hearing a hollow sound it stands to reason that perhaps there was too much moisture in the mix when it was poured or it was incorrectly poured and air pockets formed. I would think that would be a case where this injection process could be used. But I am not an expert I have just recently done alot of reading about concrete problems having gone through some problems of this kind myself. I have not priced this option for myself, overlayments and such in this area are outrageous, however you would not want an overlayment done on an unstable foundation. (at least I wouldn’t) Deb

Sir, what if the crack is going down the cement blocks both inside foundation and outside walls (2)? Is it irreparable or just how would it be repaired?
Thank you!
