I have a wood frame basement in a small walkout ranch style cottage. The cottage is leaning from the pressure against the wood frame foundation. At one point in the wall it looks like a stud has buckled, like one of the 6" studs has given way. I am considering excavating around the outside of the foundation and relieving any and all future pressure with some type of retaining wall, does any one have any suggestions or insight???
