It sounds like you need an area drain between the houses with a drain pipe running toward the street. Typically, the drain would be a 12 inch by 12 inch plastic box with a grille, and the pipe would be a 6 inch plastic pipe terminating near the street with a pop-up outlet fixture. You should also make sure that the ground is sloped toward the area drain to collect the rain water. A good landscaper can install it for a reasonable cost.
