Cinderblock foundation crack

My husband and I bought his great grandparents house 8 years ago. His great grandma was the only one alive and living here for 20 years before we moved in, she let a vine grow up the foundation in the front of the house for who knows how long. It caused damage and some cracking (it's a cinderblock foundation wall) along the joints. If i stand in the garage I can see light in the Lil crack so I want to inject epoxy or polyurethane foam into it and then patch the outside with an epoxy concrete. I am reading that epoxy is the stronger and more long lasting option but isn't suitable for cinderblock bc of the hollow core. But crack isn't wide but I'd say larger than a hairline. Anyone have suggestions on what I should use for this specific damage? submitted by /u/cms6283816 [link] [comments]
