A zero-lot-line house I'm looking at buying sits on a hill - there is a sturdy, two-foot retaining wall between this house and the house next door to accommodate the grade change - there is evidence that some drainage work has been done on the side of the house I'm looking at to improve drainage - there appeared to be some slight evidence of possible damage inside the house on the wall where the drainage work had been done. The agent tells me that the weep holes had been blocked (with what?), but that the problem has been corrected.
We get a lot of gully washers here - possibly, the water that couldn't drain off (prior to repairs being made) invaded the weep holes - what else should I look at related to this issue? Am I looking at a major problem here, or is this normal stuff?
Thanks for any suggestions.
