Rising standing water implies a thunderstorm stuck over your house for two days, like what happened in Ft Lauderdale recently, and the drainage system is not adequate for that much water, like 23 inches in a two day stretch. .

ask specifically about other insurance offerings for water damage. .

what's the difference between your house and swampland?

about 2 feet of dirt. .
It was 23 inches of rain in 7 hours.
