Bought house (2020) & $120k in reno. during Covid year. Moved in 04/21. Pix of 7x it became a lake, never drying. We thought storm drain = no water problem. A non-functioning not clogged French Drain. BEEN WET SINCE April 11, 2021. ONLY HOLE NOT TIED TO RETENTION PONDS. Water, tee - green goes to small 70'w area b/t path & property line, up to 10-15 ft. from line.
Due to stench, can't open windows/use lanai in PM. We & neighbors battling TV to correct issue.
Your help is needed! Only pos. comments, neg. does no good! Express disgust to:

Photo taken today 11/12 09:47 am from Master Bedroom window looking out. The ponding is much smaller in comparison to past flooding, they usually join together. Who in their right mind wants to see and smell this West Nile breeding cesspool every day for 7 months? If we had known this was not a REAL DRAIN but a NON FUNCTIONING FRENCH DRAIN we would not have bought the house!!! Neighbors are sick of it too!!! Timing of golfer was spot on to give size differential - mild rain (total quantity) last night. Note the little white post in the upper left corner of center pane. Several times the pond has reached that stake and came up to 25 ft. from Master bedroom.
The retention ponds are lined. A French Drain only soaks into the substrate below. The Substrate is LIMESTONE. It has been proven that erosion of the substrate, limestone, causes sink holes. Hence French Drains are contributory to this erosion. It does not take an engineer/geophysicist to figure this out. Just plain common sense and an ability to read and watch the news! It will cost TV money to correct this. Cheaper for TV to fix the issue than repair house/houses that are affected by sink holes or the medical bills related to West Nile and others caused by the mosquito infestation. Also the potential for respiratory ailments possibly related to the stench (airborne mold/mildew) generated by the cesspool.
