Oklahoma City, Oklahoma:

When the Gallo family moved to Oklahoma City from New York, they believed they had found their dream home. The family was eager and excited to start their life in a brand new place. That was until their dream home became the site of 6 repeated raw sewage floods caused by the city in the course of just 4 years.

The Gallo family’s first sewer backup occurred in 2021, just months after moving halfway across the country. After each flood, the city offered a different explanation claiming it was an issue with the family’s personal plumping and not the cities. The Gallo’s followed every recommendation given by the city, paying to install back flow preventers, French drains, and repeatedly hiring plumbers. Yet between 2021 and 2024, the Gallo’s home and yard was flooded with raw sewage a total of 6 different times, with each backup becoming worse than the last one. By June of 2024, the family was at a breaking point after following every direction given by the city and spending their hard earned dollars on a problem they were not responsible for. The Gallo’s were unsure what to do next and realized they needed an experienced Oklahoma sewer lawyer to investigate who was really at fault.

The Gallo’s contacted Jim Buxton, an experienced sewer lawyer of Oklahoma Sewer Lawyers to investigate the repeated sewer backups. With extensive experience handling municipal sewer backup claims, Jim Buxton worked to investigate and uncover the cause of the recurring sewage floods and pursue justice on the family’s behalf. The case was successfully resolved with an $820,000.00 settlement for the Gallo family.
