Post Water Table
Water intrusion is the big reason. Near the extensive coastline, and around the thousands of lakes, the water table is very high. The hydraulic pressure is so great that there is even great risk in emptying a swimming pool for replastering the surface. The hydraulic pressure sometimes pops the pool out of the ground. This same pressure would act against the walls of a basement, causing leaks and destruction of anything in the basement.
