I have a bilevel home with no basement that I recently purchased in Northern NJ. Property is on a flat lot. The house is 55 years old. I recently discovered that 2 corners of the home are missing cinderblocks. One corner also has a deep hole (2ft+) where the cinderblock was, which must been dug up by a critter. Is it possible that water from the gutters eroded those blocks? How to repair?

  • The house has a cinderblock foundation wall that goes up about 3 feet of the wall.
