Mystery of the Wet Wall

We have a problem that no one has been able to solve in the 5 years we’ve owned our 3 story brickface. We have a one story structure one one side and an identical 3 story on the other. The wall that has two stories exposed has been wet after every rain storm. It usually dries up after a couple of days. We’ve had at least 20 roofers tell us that the roof looks fine and has several years left. Everyone seems to think its the wall. So we’ve had it chipped-out thorocoated, thoro-sealed, and thoro-lastic on 3 different occassions and it still leaks. We’ve had the flashing replaced where our building meets the one story. And most recently had two thick layers of concrete put on the wall and than thoro-coated. That did’t work either. We have a chcken wire skylight as well but everyone says the seal is fine too. We had another roofer suggest we spray the entire exterior wall with silicone. We are incredibly frustrated by the “weeping wall.” and throwing our money away. Any suggestions?
