Now I have another issue....... my garage walls. They look terrible compared to the floor now. My raised ranch was built 1956 and we live in New England. What can I do to help my walls out without completely tearing out the foundation.

Sure looks like moldy sheetrock that also has some form of insected eating the paper on it. It all needs to go and figure out what caused it. Some pictures of the outside may show the real cause.

You can see the small rocks which were mixed in with the concrete when it was poured. There is no sheetrock on these walls at all.
