It really depends what you asked them to build. If their job wasn't to prevent/repair damage from recent or future floods, the carpenter isn't one to blame. However, the builder should have token that knowledge into effect, to know that they should have made protection against weathering and other things.

You can sue if you believe that your landlord has been negligent in a way that contributed to the flood damage, for example, by failing to keep the drains in good repair. However, there are certainly some kinds of flooding that are beyond the control of landlords, in which case your lawsuit would be doomed to fail.

Unless you are suffering a decent loss in the course of that flooding (like your prize pumpkins being destroyed or the water getting into your house), no.
