One example is if your basement is likely to be flooded during a heavy rain in which water enters the basement because the surrounding soil cannot absorb it fast enough. Flooding, typically defined as “rising” water, is not covered in a standard policy regardless of whether it comes from an overflowing river or a heavy rain.
