I get big puddles in my yard when it rains. Should the builder fix this?Subdivisions built during the last several years have detailed drainage plans designed as part of the approval process. These plans control how rainfall is dealt with during heavy rains. Part of the design of some lots may include "Soakaway pits" or "French Drains" which trap a portion of the runoff and allow it to slowly drain down into the soil in order to help replenish the water table. However, it may be possible that the puddles are not intended as part of the grading design for your property. To find this out, check with your municipality to see if your property has passed the final grading inspection. If it has passed, then it means that the lot grading is in general compliance with the designed grading for your property and the subdivision it is a part of. |
