I have a crack from a basement window frame all the way down the wall and part of the floor. I have had two different bids. One says it needs to be fixed from the inside the other says it should be done from the outside. It was determined that it was caused from moles, as this house is over 33 years old and told houses have usually settled by then.

Can anyone help?

Thanks,

Moles?

Cracks in concrete block or poured concrete walls can be repaired by injecting grout. It should work as well from the outside as from the inside.
