Sounds like your foundation is cracked.
You may have some sort of subsidence or movement which needs investigating.
Get a foundation company to check the level of your home Esp in that area. While concrete/cement foundations can shift & cause it, but this happens more often with pier & beam foundations & is less cost to have your foundation leveled.
That would be MY 1st step. Level foundation. Then address wall & your repair should hold.
Hope this helps.
Sounds like one corner may be sinking..............? Why don't you ask your neighbours to come take a look. do they have this sort of problem?
