When I inspected new and refurbished homes in KY, there were at least incidents where fill settled away. Contractors tried digging under and pouring more concrete, cutting out the section of broken footer and digging a cavity and filling it with concrete. All wasted money. The only thing that corrected the problem was to use a specialty company that drilled a jack into the ground until it hit rock to form a base, then the special jack was attached to the footer and the sagging area raised to the original level. Homes are still there and the brick hasn't even cracked. Good luck.
