Water issues are prevalent in all aspects of property development and are usually considered to be progressive in nature.  The typical residential drainage problem solution requires consideration of both surface and sub-surface drainage systems generally related to the progression of the problem.  It tends to become a drainage problem with a natural progression of conditions related to upkeep or maintenance of the property.  It indicates as we study a particular property with greater knowledge of what takes place and comparative analysis over a time period, that we currently either have a drainage problem or will have one.  The basic development does not totally address these issues that occur progressively so the question arises on why it has an effect on the structure itself and how it has an effect on the structure itself.
