Ridge Runner 1,112 Report post Posted January 10, 2023 The jack ass next door built his property up about 4 feet higher than our property ,we knew what was going to happen ,but the drainage commissioner said he can do nothing about it ! Well ,it rained hard for the last 3 days ,all the run off from the surrounding groves poured into our pasture with no where to go ! Flooded most of the pasture and made it in my shop ,there is about an inch or more mud in the floor! I will have to get the tractor fired up soon as the rain lets up to dig out the front of my shop ,i had to dig out the end door with a shovel this morning just to see inside the shop . 1 Mach1 Driver reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ridge Runner 1,112 Report post Posted January 10, 2023 I dont think there will be any damage ,its a metal building except for the doors ,problem is i will have to remove everything from the shop to clean out the mud . Here is a pic from the other side of the property at my mobil home my sister is living in ,the road to the mobil home is half washed out ,its a county road so some year they will have to repair it . Supposed to have 4 more days of heavy rain so the rest of the road will probably go . I wish my neighbor wasnt such an ass ! They build that property up close to 4 feet .

Rsanter 152 Report post Posted January 30, 2023 In California it is illegal to shed water off your property onto a neighbors property. if this is happening you can force him to make changes that will stop that from happening Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

However, if you don't have any damages, you don't have a claim. When I got my contractor license, the most important thing to consider was water flow. And if you did something to divert it and cause damages, you were liable. You might want to talk to a lawyer, not the county. 3 TexasEd, Ridge Runner and Crazyhorse reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
