Did you do the retaining wall yourself? If not, then how the water drains
out from behind the wall is a mystery that probably needs addressing. How is
the retaining wall laid? Can you see any daylighting perforated pipe that
seems to run back to the base of the retaing wall, or are there sufficient
weep holes in the wall?

Just checked outside. There is no concrete just placed stone with
dirt and plants growing out a bunch of the holes. There is plenty of
places for moisture to seep through. And the lower ground (at base of
wall) is also a damp area. The whole back of the proerty is downhil
from the front street.
