ChampionsGate drainage is standing water on golf-corridor and STR lots, 34747 / 33896. New sod in a puddle dies. I-4 fill and fairway runoff load the low corner by the pool. Call (407) 674-2841.

Runoff here comes off the golf grade and the I-4 street, not a lake lot. The low corner by the pool is the drain.

What we actually drain here

  • Pool-deck corner that stays wet after every storm.
  • Downspouts dumping on the guest-photo lawn.
  • Low golf-easement edge that drowns Floratam.
  • Compacted fill from the original pad.

Swale, French drain, or regrade. Then irrigation, then sod. Order matters.

ChampionsGate install. Irrigation repair if the wet spot is a leak, not grade.

Process

  1. Walk after a storm if we can.
  2. Find golf runoff vs downspout vs leak.
  3. Swale or French drain, not a guess.
  4. Irrigation check.
  5. Sod only when the corner dries.

FAQ

Does the golf-side pool corner in 33896 stay wet after a storm?

Yes. Fairway runoff and I-4 fill load that ChampionsGate corner. We drain it before sod. (407) 674-2841.

Is a wet ChampionsGate guest lawn a leak or grade?

A leak is irrigation. Standing water after rain is grade. We walk both before we cut. (407) 674-2841.

Can we sod the listing strip while the pool corner still holds?

No. Listing sod waits until the ChampionsGate pad dries. Usually 3–7 days once water leaves. (407) 674-2841.
