    Oh boy. The multiple hurricanes here in central east coast FL have revealed severe grading issues causing excessive flooding on my residential property which is on the 18th fairway of a private golf course. I’m talking 3 feet of water. Right up to the house for the very first time since it was built in 2004. At issue is an undeveloped parcel next to mine belonging to the Golf Club, with it’s collapsed 35 year old underground 14” galvanized spiral drain pipe connecting my yard’s drain basin and the 300 feet of 14” poly spiral pipe I installed two years ago because the old pipe had collapsed like a sinkhole from leaking water underground into the sandy soil. The flood just before Hurricane Milton last week was so sudden and determined that it got into three neighbor’s homes, and 4” from my own doors. I may have to cap off the drain basin at ground level to keep the thousands of gallons of rainwater going down the basin, into my 14” underground drain pipe, and then dead-heading into the Golf Club’s property with it’s collapsed drain that is 6’ beyond my property line and about 30 feet from my house. A fully mature tree was unroofed there last week because the soil is like quicksand.
