If your neighbor acts carelessly and causes damage, like when sprinklers run too long, you can sue for cost of repairs, lodging expenses, among others. The best option is to be proactive and communicate with your Burbank neighbor.


Also know that you can get homeowners and flood insurance as protection against water damage costs. If you have questions about how to proceed, contact your Burbank Realtor for advice.
