Resident reports water intrusion and ponding; board, HOA responsibilities debated
Summary
Oak Run resident Lynda Sorensen told the River Ridge CDD Board that high moisture and ponded water beneath her home damaged the slab; inspections ruled out under-slab plumbing leaks. She asked the CDD and HOA to coordinate; the board said drain tiles are likely an HOA matter while staff and engineers discussed drainage history and zoning.
Oak Run resident Lynda Sorensen addressed the board about water intrusion and moisture damage to the slab and master bedroom flooring at 27123 Sound Way. Inspections cited very high moisture levels in the floor and concrete slab and found no under-slab plumbing or HVAC leak; a foundation specialist recommended perimeter drain tiles and 5- to 10-foot downspout extensions to move runoff away from the unit. Sorensen told the Board she had presented the issue to her HOA and wanted the CDD and HOA to work together to identify solutions.
Chair Bob Schultz said ponding water might be something the CDD can address but that installing drain tiles is most likely an HOA responsibility. District Engineer Charlie Krebs noted the area was originally an indigenous preserve and not part of the water management system until rezoning; that history helps explain the lack of drainage infrastructure. Ms. Sorensen asked for help getting downspouts farther from the home and installing drain tiles; staff committed to continuing coordination with the HOA and golf-course representatives.
