I've come to the same opinion as well. Since the problem affects the

I wouldn't bank on it.

Wrong weather for making these judgments. Take another look when we've had a
good downpour. Water can come through the wall at any height.

Don't say that, I've just had my offer on the house excepted! Hopefully
the house survey will tell me for sure what's wrong with the wall.
