You need to know before demolition if the wall you are working on is load bearing or not. You may want to hire a structural engineer if unsure, you could wreck your house.

Fixing foundation walls (load bearing walls) is one of the most costly aspects of any construction/repair project. Depending on the type of wall, its use, the materials it's made from and the surface its built on will determine the method of repair needed.

This is not cheap. Only a professional can do this. If the foundation is buckling they the cause of the buckling will need to be addressed. If there is just a cement brick that need to be repaired they that an easy fix. This is hard to answer since I don't know what the wall looks like.
