homeowners get HOA to fix their drainage issues

Two Raleigh homeowners, Kelley Poskitt and Lori Rodgers, faced serious drainage issues that led to flooding and property damage, and they believe their HOA should have addressed the problem. After finding records of the HOA covering similar drainage repairs for other homeowners, they repeatedly brought the issue to board meetings but were met with little action. Eventually, with help from ABC11 Troubleshooter Diane Wilson, the HOA board approved repairs, and crews installed drain boxes and other fixes. While grateful for the resolution, Poskitt is still seeking compensation for water damage to her kitchen, and the HOA has not yet responded.
