Detached garage cement block const. built into a bank.
Top of rear wall is just above grade.
Sides are 50% into bank.
Rear wall is cracked & bowing in middle approx 6", starting about half way up, now clearing part of plate & ceiling rafter.
Plan on cutting out & replacing bowed section while supporting roof.
Would appreciate suggestions on how to fill void after teardown, rebuild/ reinforce wall that will resist bowing in future & also minimize seepage.
Garage is about 50 years old , wall always had cracks but bowing has gotten worse last couple of years.
Does not appear to be in danger of collapse
Thanks.

Thanks guys.
Araid you were going to say that.
Trying to save a buck.
How about Hollow block dowelled to slab & sides w/ rebar & filled w/ conc.
Think I could manage that myself w/out calling in a cement truck.
Or do you think that would be cheaper?
No chance of digging out the sides for drainage,
Got the time Email would be appreciated.
Thanks
