1Opinion of the Court

GOLDEN, Justice.

Appellants Susan and Jesse Blagrove (Bla-groves) sued to recover damages for mental anguish they allege they suffered when flooding from a failed plumbing connection seriously damaged their new home and destroyed personal possessions. Appellee JB Mechanical, Inc., the plumbing contractor, moved for summary judgment asserting that mental anguish was not compensable for negligence which caused property damage. On this basis, the district court granted partial summary judgment to JB Mechanical and the Blagroves appeal.

We affirm the district court’s ruling.
