Crack in interior of foundation wall
Hello!
There is a narrow but long crack in the interior of the foundation of the house. Is there a practical, inexpensive way to fix this? Wasn't sure if mixing some concrete would work to fill it in or not. Figured I should ask before I did this. Thank you much for any input.

Sorry about that. It might be fun taking pics with a laptop webcam

the crack is in the right side of the pic, it is diagonal.

The crack is longer than that, but it doesn't get any wider than that. This foundation was poured in 1969.

No water leakage from there. There is water leakage from a different spot on the other side of the basement. Thinking of doing a French drain along the foundation when Spring comes if I can swing it (rental of Bobcat and buying the other stuff.).
