They just need to tell me flat out that it is a drainage issue and they won't cover it, that's fine, I'll get it done in a week. Bottom line, I think he was genuine, but just unsure if a drain would fix this and did not have enough evidence to go to the builder. (Of course, since they're building another 2000 homes in Pine Ridge, I'm sure he still has some leverage)

well this is what i have found.
Drainage issues are all over the villages and the grade are done poorly and it usually takes one to two seasons to figure that out and the blame game in the villages runs rapid.
Mine was due to poor grading and putting the sod on white hard clay that couldn't possible grow grass.
I had to dig it out and re-sod 100', lets see whats next, which will be a lawsuit or hopefully a class action lawsuit.
They are responsible to grade properly, but when was the last time you seen them out with a transit to grade.
My two cents
