Sheering pushed this wall out
The wall is 3 1/2 inches out of plumb from the foundation
This is quite an example of a failing foundation
After discussing a plan of attack, we started this project. First, we excavated the foundation and then manipulated the wall back as far as possible. We had to prevent the sheering from reoccurring and stabilize the foundation.

Our homeowner now has a functioning foundation/garage that can be used as a shop for storage or to park cars.

While we were at it, we waterproofed the foundation and blocked in a couple of windows.

The garage here was being pushed in, approximately 3 1/2 inches
As you can see in this photo, sheering has pushed the wall out of plumb
