This is a stem wall, and the block construction is laid on top of the stem wall on the perimeter, and this is just ultimately coming apart. Stair-stepping in the walls, the wall is coming out slightly, and what’s going on here is the rebar on the interior is rusting. Because this stem wall isn’t waterproofed down to the bottom of the stem wall, the moisture comes in from the dirt just below the paint and attacks the rebar. The rebar expands up to five times its diameter, busting out the whole stem wall on this side. Left untreated, this whole wall can come down. This continues around the corner and down the entire side of this home.
