Cary, NC asked in Personal Injury, Civil Litigation and Environmental for North Carolina

Q: My neighbor dug two deep culverts on his property against my fence to drain water onto my property.

In 2016, he did something similar and admitted digging a trench because his yard was too wet. What can I do? My yard is a mess and I am becoming ill over this level of harassment. I need the offending party to cease the assault on my property and pay for tree and lawn repair. What category of law does this situation fall under?
