Porch Settlement

I was called to look at a basement wall with an unusual U-shape crack. Turns out poor drainage saturated the soil under the porch, which settled and rotated since the concrete porch was attached to the basement wall with rebar or dowels. I have attached actual photos and a graphic showing the crack.
