There is if you build it that way.


That is the puzzle. I could remove the concrete block wall,
install a series of drains, cover the drains with styrofoam
blanks and then pour a new concrete wall which would then
have pockets for the drains.


What's on the other side of this wall? Where's the water going to end
up going?

If it's just a block wall unless they infilled it, you can just poke the
drains through it.

Certainly w/o seeing the situation it's difficult to say anything truly
definitive...post some pics somewhere...

Yes, also unknown is how much water? If it's just 1/2" that's left
after a rain, just drilling some holes to give it a way out might be
enough.
