couple things not brought up yet

-it’s been a wet winter here, but every winter is wet
-they just put the sod down evidently
-it will not survive being underwater like that
-regardless of what you do or don’t do to address the drainage, you are going to lose all that grass
-it will be replaced by dollar weed and other ditch weeds
-the soils under that sod are probably clay, so the only way that water is going to recede is by evaporating
-your going to lose those fence posts as well, eventually
-the fence is now in the way of fixing the storm drainage

good luck my brother

Regrade
add suitable sod base
Install drainage
Replace fence
Address gutters or lack of
Re-sod
Fix potential house issues due to poor construction work
