So very grim
A mum-of-two says she has been in an ongoing battle with housing developers after sewage backed up through the sewers and filled the bath of her new-build home. Just six months after Carmen Laws moved into her new home with her family the drain started overflowing outside her property - and then started to overflow in her bathroom.
Pictures from Carmen's garden - which she said "smells to high heaven" - show drains that appear full and clogged with excrement and toilet paper. She said the problems cause sewage to "come back up into my home through every sink, toilet, bath, [and] shower."Last October, Carmen's 13-year-old daughter was in the bath when she decided to pull the plug out, causing "all of the water to come gushing in.
Concerns have even been raised over the issue's potential impact on the health of her children, with Carmen saying that her little one is "always sick" and that it is "very coincidental that every time a major issue happens with these drains, she is sick."
