Hello i was wondering can i sue my water company. My ceiling was damaged and fell due to flooding of the ceiling. I was recently moved into the property and we were figuring out the bills and how to pay them so my water was turned off and the same day i paid them and they sent a gentleman out to turn my water back on but when he did so, the water rushed in and my ceiling in my basement flooded and collapsed, damaging the ceiling, walls, furniture and clothes.
