Inches of running water on patio against house

This looks like a serious drainage issue, and given the previous flooding disclosure, it's definitely something to think about. If the backyard slopes toward the house, water will always find its way there unless major landscaping or drainage work is done. A French drain might help, but with that amount of water, you'd likely need a more comprehensive solution like regrading the yard or adding a sump system. Since you're still under contract, this is your chance to walk away before spending more on inspections—unless you're prepared for the costs and hassle of fixing it. It’s like choosing the right WhatsApp version—sometimes, the standard one works fine, but if you want extra control and features, you go for a mod.
