I have a small laundry room/ mud room that was attached to my house after it was origanally built. The foundation is sinking from the most outward portion of the room causing the room to tilt slightly.It is also pulling apart from the house. Does anyone know of any way of raising the foundation and re-attatching the room to the house to make a permenant fix or should it be torn down and rebuilt from the ground up. Any idea's or suggestions would be greatly appeciated-----thanks-------

Mudjacking is probably the best way to get it back. The other option would be to start from scratch and TIE the foundation of the addition to the foundation of the house properly -- like you said -- torn down and rebuilt from the ground up!
