Never worry about the yard flooding.

After living in a house with a basement that tended to flood in heavy rains, that was one of the reasons I liked this house.

Makes sense. I live in Nevada and it's very uncommon for a house to have a basement here. Probably because our water table is 10ft or shallower. But I could imagine that would be an absolute nightmare.
