Re: gutters
The soil in most of the Villages is sandy clay. In some areas there is a clay layer under the soil that you see. Drainage is not the same everywhere. Water from gutters goes into a down spout. It does not disappear. It has to go somewhere. Homes are close together.
The people who install gutters and sometimes the people who hire them are taking the water from their home and dumping it on their neighbors.
Look around your lot. If you have a spot where water stays as a puddle, on your lot, for more than 4 hours or so after a rain, you have a drainage problem. You may have created it yourself with landscaping, a pool, down spouts etc. It is a good idea to correct it. On a new home I think they say 6 hours. If, it stays longer than that your builder needs to correct it. It can be expensive and you need to document it.
