The Reich’s Story: Reichs VS Del City
Del City, Oklahoma:
For Brandy Reich and her mother, Twila, what seemed like an ordinary plumbing problem soon turned into a years-long battle for answers.

Their home began experiencing slow-running drains, toilets that repeatedly refused to flush, and sewer backups coming from the clean-out in their backyard. As the plumbing problems continued to worsen, they hired multiple plumbers hoping to identify the source of the issue, but the problems only continued and got worse.
Construction of a drainage ditch behind the Reichs’ property had crushed their private sewer line, preventing wastewater from flowing properly and causing the repeated sewer issues they had been living with. The damage was not the result of a defect within their home’s plumbing, but rather a sewer line that had been damaged during the drainage project.
Brandy and Twila knew they needed a professional and contacted Oklahoma Sewer Lawyers in October 2022 to investigate their claim and pursue accountability. The case required patience and persistence as they worked to obtain a solution that would not only repair the damage but also compensate them for the disruption they had endured.
After more than three years, the case reached a successful resolution. In January 2026, the City of Del City agreed to abate the nuisance, repair the Reichs’ crushed sewer line, and provide a settlement to resolve the family’s losses.
For the Reich family, the resolution meant more than fixing a sewer line—it meant finally putting an end to years of uncertainty and restoring peace of mind.
