Water coming through weep holes

[Ray Baker]

We are looking at purchasing a house for rehab.  All the numbers look good except their is a retaining wall that sets about 1 1/2 foot away from the house.  It goes down the side of the house and partially around the back.  The ground that the retaining wall holds back sits about 1 1/2 ft above the base of the home.  It looks like water is running into the gap between the retaining wall and the house.  Then it is seeping through the weep holes causing mold to start on one of the bedrooms.  I will try and attach pictures for you to see.  I am looking for any ideas on how to try and move water away from the house.  Thanks for any ideas.  Ray
