If a property has significant puddles while neighboring properties do not, this could indicate a(n) ______ problem.

  1. Sewer

  2. Structural

  3. Drainage

  4. Foundation

The correct answer is: Drainage

Identifying significant puddles in a property while neighboring properties remain dry suggests a drainage problem. Proper drainage is crucial for directing water away from buildings and preventing pooling. If the land does not slope away from the house or if there are blockages in drainage systems, this can lead to excess water accumulation, resulting in puddles. When drainage systems function correctly, they redirect water runoff, preventing standing water from forming on the property. Therefore, the presence of puddles specifically indicates that there’s an issue related to how water is being managed on that property compared to its surroundings, highlighting potential deficiencies in drainage. While sewer, structural, and foundation issues could lead to water problems, they would typically present differently and are not as directly indicated by the observable accumulation of water like drainage concerns are.
