I worked for a company that dug up and repaired basement walls.
The first thing you must do is have the house snaked out all the way to the main or to the tank.
There is a "Y" in the system between the gray water and the crap pipe.
This "Y" sometimes catches things and forms a block that drains slow.
Ok your asking what the hell does this have to do with my leaking wall.
With this blockage it causes the drain tyle to back up and guess ware it's going to come in , the first crack it can find.
There could also be tree roots etc etc. We have seen this several times and a simple drain cleaning can save you alot of grief and money.
We always suggested this first. But we had people who knew more and upon digging up the wall just to find standing water above the drain tyle. At this point no inspector will pass this with out a plumber snaking out the drains and guess what " thats all it was " .
Now if this doesn't work then a wall replacment might be in the picture or heavy duty water proofing.
I hope a plumber with a good snake and a camera solves your problem...
