cptn janks Posted June 13, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2008 ill have to post the video to youtube, but there was water running down my street like it was a river. the curbs are probably about 8 inches or so, and water was over top of that, coming up to the sidewalk.

mrs.cos Posted June 13, 2008 Report Share Posted June 13, 2008 so how is this going to be covered under insurance, i mean, will it be considered "back up" or "flood" cuz if its considered flood, we are all screwed.

Pedro1647545510 Posted June 13, 2008 Report Share Posted June 13, 2008 I do. It depends on what caused the flood. I *think* most policies with water backup coverage cover flooding from backed up pipes and sewers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

suffocateXfaster1647545505 Posted June 14, 2008 Report Share Posted June 14, 2008 The storm hit a few of my buddies pretty bad. I didn't believe them what-so-ever when they called to say the inside of their cars had standing water, showed up and my jaw dropped.

Buck531 Posted June 14, 2008 Report Share Posted June 14, 2008 Back in the late 90's.. I want to say 98 or so I used to work on Campus for a few months at Micro Direct (small ass computer company) and high street flooded about like that after a quick storm. It was due to the sewers backing up and water started coming back up the the drain pipes. It was gone in less than 20 minutes. It's actually happened in front of my house. Quick fast downpour and the drain pipes started backing up. water started coming past the sidewalk and I started to freak out. then 1/2 hour later, it was gone.

Pedro1647545510 Posted June 14, 2008 Report Share Posted June 14, 2008 a flood is a flood to ins companies. its comprehensive coverage. Tell that to all of the people that got hit by hurricane Rita and katrina. There is a difference between a flood (not covered by most insurance companies, covered by Flood Insurance) and water/sewer backup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaSSon Posted June 14, 2008 Report Share Posted June 14, 2008 Bet the guy with the jeep was kickin himself for not ordering that 6" lift a little earlier! lol The air cleaner on that jeep is still above the water level, and Wranglers have drain holes in the floorboards. Just have to remove the rubber plug. That Jeep is good to go! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
