Not knowing how long you have been here, but the real test is when hurricanes are nearby and it rains here for 2-5 days steady. Many homes without gutters found that there was seepage over the edge of the pad. Plus the steady pounding over the years will eventually lead to soil/sand erosion at the slabs edge.

It is best to get the water away from the house even without a basement.
