this was the problem that resulted from poor grading and the water not having anywhere to go out of the downspouts
here the solution. took about a day and half to do this project and its fairly easy with a trencher.
I did this last summer and it was awesome this winter. yard drains and I can let my dogs out with no issues and I can mow my yard a day after a few inches of rain. any questions let me know.

Damn solid work Whodat. Glad to hear it helps. I'm following your lead on this one.

Perfect example Whodat.
Only thing I would add is the corrugated pipe is a little easier to use than the PVC. PVC comes in 10' lengths which could be a pain, More difficult to cut, if it rolls/turns during instillation or back fill it will turn the drain ect.
The important thing to remember is you just need a portal for the water to leave. It doesn't have to be able to handle flooding rains, those run off naturally. It's to remove the standing water after a rain.
