What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? ohio
I've lived in my house now for 20years. Up until my neighbors to the south of me built there home and put in a pond I've never had any problem with flooding. My township's zoning inspector and the county engineer said that my neighbor should cap his "french drain" and he said he would think about it. Later he told me that his builder thought that it would make it worse so I'm not sure he did anything. We had an unusual amount of rain two nights ago and the flooding was the worst ever. This has happened 4 times now but up until now it just flooded my yard and a little water in my garage. This time I had 6 inches of water in my garage and 3 ft. of water in my crawl space.I know from the township trustees that the laws on this are iffy and I don't want to make enemies. Any advice would be helpful. Thanks
