What a great way to go into the Thanksgiving holiday! The new engineering firm finished their research on our lot and said that they could find no plausible cause for the water other than the pond. They said that this area of the development was a "cut" or high area (as opposed to a low area that was filled.) The development company has authorized them to reconstruct the pond with an impermeable liner in the spring.
There will need to be a few things done to improve the excavation so that it can be built on. Part of this is replacement and compaction of dry soil. Another part is to use a spread footing and a more extensive tile system as insurance.
We have asked our builder to find out what assurances we will have, preferably in writing, that if we have water problems in the future that the developer will take care of them.
As long as the answer to this is acceptable, work will begin on the foundation on Monday.
Yea!
