rfc post of the week...
Cindy, we didn't have that singular flood experience because of a high water table...it was water
from rain ... When the ground got saturated after a few days of continuing torrential downpours, the ground
became super-saturated and water didn't have any place to go. if the flooding had been because of a
high water table, like being on bottomland or too near a river, creek or lake, I would be eligible
for flood insurance, according to what the insurance people told me. But I am not.
I am at an elevation such that the builders thought there was no reason to install underground drainage pipe
around the foundation when we built the house. This area was farmland before it was developed into
Residential neighborhoods.
