If your neighbors continue to remove trees, you're likely to see standing water down there at some point.

Ish's suggestion was a sump pump and footing tiles. The former removes water once it makes its way in. The latter helps to prevent water from getting in in the first place.

I had a drainage problem in the crawl space of our last house. Most of the time, it was just damp. During the winter when we got a lot of rain, however, we'd get some standing water.

We had to install a sump pump, which cured the problem.

I suspect if you were to dig down in the basement and you'd find that you collect some water.

The pump would likely be set up below the surface of your basement floor.
