Super helpful - thanks!

I think the damage may be coming through from the exterior side... the backyard grass/dirt comes right up against the bottom of the wall and it's an irrigated yard so I'm sure there's a ton of moisture hitting the exterior wall. I may have to look at digging it out and making sure there's no direct earth to wall contact.

Appreciate it!
