Good luck. Generally water seeps through mulch and should take a lot of mulch to create the drainage problem you encountered.

I was an insurance adjuster and worked for a lot of companies. If there is damage to your home and damages are light, they might not want to pay anyone to determine who caused the damages. In most cases, they only do this if the damages are significant and if the damages are covered by the policy. If they have to make a payment and if they feel that the nieghbor or the developer caused the problem, they might hire the appropriate expert. These experts cost +/- $200 an hour.
