Flooded basement
by Lisa
(Guelph, ON, Canada)
if my basement floods because of a poor neighborhood grade (where the water flows downward into my backyard then into my basement), can I make my neighbor(s) pay for damages?
Flooded Basement Due to Grade of Land
Hi Lisa
This sounds like something that would be excluded from insurance. Assuming that is the case, your only recourse could be legal action.
Sorry, not much help ...
