Are the pop up drains "popping" up?...Are they "opening fully"?

Could there be something inside the drain lines (under the ground)?

This isn't rocket science...keep calling them until they fix it. Have them use a garden hose at full force to help you verify their "fix" before they leave.

Hope this helps....

Thank you so much for such good ideas that we will pursue with Stipes. They have been very nice and we are being very understanding. Each time they "fix" it they give an explanation of what the problem was and what they will do to fix it. We have taken videos on our phone of the water gushing over the top during a rain because we knew that would be more helpful to them to see what actually happens during a rain. They encourage us to call if it isn't fixed. We knew the helpful people on Talk of The Villages would have some good ideas so we thank you for that.
