Looks like a grading problem to me. Probably insufficient foundation drains that don't exit to daylight too....
Yeah, the lots are too flat. There is one huge foundation drain that extends from here to the Gulf of Mexico. The drain has about one foot of fall per 10,000 feet. That could be the problem.Thanks.
This looks like a typical sprinkler system malfunction installed by an incompetent landscaper. Just find the offending sytem and shut it off. Then thinks should dry out in a couple of decades. Alternative is to plant lots of waterlillys.
Oh, sure, blame it on the landscapers. Obviously the builders just put the foundations in too low.Marty
