Good luck. My experience with home warranty fixing outside drainage issues between houses has not been good. See my post home warranty can be frustrating

They have done amazing things for us, far beyond what we expected.

I am on a cul de sac and the homes behind me are at a higher elevation than my property. So all the runoff from all the homes channels along my property line with my neighbor, and is prevented from exiting to the roadway due to the fact the curb is too hign and the road elevation is too high to allow proper drainage. The previous owner apparently never brought this up during the 1 year period after the sale.

What is the procedure in getting some remedy from TV Warranty Dept? Does anyone have any experience in this area.

During the last storm and heavy rain, I had water almost 7 inches deep that took days to go away and the ground is constantly soggy.

Help!!

We have a home in the same situation. We noticed the standing water before we bought the house. We took a lot of pics. We showed our agent who said they would take care of it. We also brought it up during final walkthrough & had it documented. Approx a month later they did take care of it. We have a French drain around the whole perimeter of my home. I would definitely check with warranty but if there is nothing they will do at this point you could get the name of who installs them. Mine did a fantastic job. I believe it was Tri County.

Thank you all for your help. I have contacted Home Warranty and after some discussion they agreed to come and take a look. Had to sweet talk a little though..

If I do install the french drain it will be almost 120' long. My side of the cul de sac is on the lower elevation and there are 8 houses behind at a higher elevation.
Stuff rolls downhill!
Keep suggestions coming and I would appreciate a reference of a good company to do the french drain if you know of one.

Thank you all again.

I agree! she is a gem!

Thanks. I have contacted TV Warranty but now the problem is getting them to show up. 4 calls and several promises.......
