Fix clay soil drainage OVER grass???

Last year after a huge construction project we put down turf in the bare backyard to stop the rainwater from flowing non-stop next door and flooding our neighbor's basement. The grass did not grow everywhere we planted, but most of it took off. This year we've had to dig out for a new electricity line as well as a few other things. The displace soil, very clay in nature, has covered some areas of grass and has added to the swamp that we unknowingly created. The yard doesn't drain. Live and learn. In the bare areas I thought I could remove some of the clay soil and add organic stuff and topsoil, then replant grass. But what about the the grassy areas (most of the yard)?????What I'd like to know is if I can improve drainage WITHOUT having to tear out all the grass. PLEASE HELP!

Thanks,

Lisa
