Okay so my first exercise did not help you comprehend the problem you induced on everyone. Please try this one. Go outside and remove the green cap, stick an appendage in the hole (not the short one). What you will feel is called ice. This is the ice that is keeping the water from moving away from the buildings.
If it was known that some down spouts were bad why were they not replaced when the spouts were being worked on? After all it was getting the water away from tthe buildings that was your concern.
My address I will not make known to you. I don't want you coming over hear with your little clip board and tearing down my deck. At the condo associations expense of course!
