90% of the time, give or take, water issues in walls stem from poor drainage around the house. I'd bet my mortgage that is your problem: The water in your yard drains towards your house.

Listen to shat progodyssey says. In addition, inspect your neighbors' run-off as well. I've seen residents in neighborhoods with old homes, built right next to each other, angle their gutter drains and run off into the next-door neighbor's property. Keep in mind, the current residents may not know their gutters are running into your property. It could have been that way for many years.
