Best Answer

pourous tiles (more like short sections of pipe than flat tiles) laid continously in a trench below ground level to form a pipeline to a drain point at a lower level but above the water table.

Ground water/ Snow melt/ Rain would normally slowly percolate through the soil & dissipate or stand on the surface, till it evaporates.

Drainage tile allows the water in saturated soil to find an open pipe to follow to a lower drainage point such as a sump or a waterway.

Tiles allow the fields to dry faster, roots of plants to breath better and produce more crops on cropland or other areas such as yards or industrial land to dry faster for better & safer useage

I believe that if the information in the question is factual as stated, you have a good basis for a claim. However I would approach it diplomatically, and purely as a reimubrsement matter, rather than as a threat to bring a lawsuit. Some governments and their entities are legally immune from lawsuits.

Have soft absorbent mats placed where someone stands to work at the sink. Any water they spill is then absorbed on the mat instead of creating a slick spot on tile. Alternatively, you could have deep grooves in the tile to channel water away instead of a spill on the tile.
