Its far from a given that the interior drainage already exists. You'd know if it does because there will be a sump pump.

Not necessarily, many houses have the weeping tile drain into the sewer line, others have a dry well out back that many owners know nothing about. Some even drain into a ditch near the road out front. There is usually a cleanout somewhere on the property.

A plumber (that's familiar with these systems) can help locate it and inspect the system, or give further advice.

Ah, yeah I didn't look very hard at the picture and thought this was a basement.
