Huh.

Apparently it's against the law in VA for an insurance company to cover groundwater damage. Defined as "water that has already hit the ground." And flood insurance wouldn't have kicked in (were it even available to purchase where I live, which it isn't) unless/until at least 2-3 other homes were similarly damaged.

In other words, there is no insurance I could've bought that would've covered this:



That is the stairwell down to my basement door. The water is up over the deadbolt. There are approximately 5 steps of normal depth under all that water. That's what I came home to yesterday afternoon.

Sigh. This is gonna be expensive...
holy shit VQ, that's insane Bigeye

how long ago did you buy the house?
was this problem present then and was it disclosed to you?

you've had issues before with heavy rains, haven't you? Just not as severe?

Hug2 You've been through worse, my friend.

VQ, if it makes you feel any better, I HAVE to buy flood insurance, despite the fact that it would require a biblical flood to endanger my house.

Dunno if it was disclosed... I've had the basement flood from that drain being clogged before but thought if I kept it clear (which it was) I'd be fine. Now it looks like I need to have the yard re-graded to prevent "ground water" from rushing in... Annoyed

Dontknow It's just a thing. Right now? It's more annoying than anything else. I wish I could go away and come back and someone would have it all fixed for me. laugh out loud

LMAO So you are forced to buy it despite not needing it, and I can't get it even if I wanted to... makes sense!
