A Greater Madawaska, Ont, resident has upwards of $100,000 in damage after a flash flood ruined his basement.
It was on May 17 when Adam Gupta says water started pouring over Calabogie Road, surrounding his home.
"It engulfed the whole property, washed out the driveway, engulfed both sides of the house, and washed down out to the water."I would assume that between here and five kilometres from here there would be more adequate water management." "This is about the third time. About 10 years ago, it came over. Did more damage then to the road itself."He tells CTV News he is not eligible for flood insurance due to the high water table living along the Madawaska River.
"I know I don't have flood insurance from the river, but I have extended water coverage, which this should apply to because it came from above ground and not the water table," he says.Gupta is now looking for some level of government to be held accountable.
