Damp bricks / drainage sloping site

Hi all, we own a house on a slope and as you can see in the photos, the bottom right corner is damp and has been the whole time we’ve lived here. I want to paint the wall but I don’t know where to start with trying to fix the issue. The driveway has been built right up against the wall. The room behind the wall is just storage under the house. Looking for advice on what we would need to do to stop the water coming in and then what type of paint to use so that I can paint over it. Someone mentioned negative pressure waterproofing and I was also recommended Zinnser Watertight? Any advice would be appreciated. submitted by /u/Rhhsepde1 [link] [comments]
