The Correa’s Story: Correa VS City of Moore

Moore, Oklahoma:

 Alfredo and Astrid Correa were putting their children to bed on the evening of April 23, 2024, when an ordinary night suddenly turned into a nightmare.

The Correa Family

Astrid had just stepped out of the shower when she noticed water covering part of the master bedroom floor. Moments later, the family realized sewage was backing up into their home through multiple bathrooms. As Alfredo rushed to figure out what was happening, their young son got out of bed, slipped in the sewage-contaminated water, and hit his head.

The sewage quickly spread throughout portions of the home, affecting hallways, bathrooms, the master bedroom, and closet areas. The smell was overwhelming. Alfredo and Astrid spent the night trying to clean up the mess while comforting two frightened children who did not understand what was happening. To keep the sewage from spreading further, the family used towels and laundry to block the contaminated water. They even tried turning the situation into a game for their children, telling them the floor was lava so they would stay off the flooded areas. But as the night went on, the reality of the situation became impossible to ignore. The next day, the family contacted the City of Moore to report the sewer backup. Workers responded to investigate the sewer system serving the neighborhood. Utility personnel later advised them that the problem originated within the public sewer system. A remediation company was brought in to sanitize the home, remove moisture, and address contamination caused by the sewage intrusion.

The Correas were left dealing with damaged flooring, personal property losses, cleanup expenses, and the disruption that comes with having your home invaded by raw sewage. For families, a sewer backup is more than a plumbing problem. It can damage a home, destroy personal belongings, disrupt daily life, and create an unsafe living environment. The family knew they needed a professional and contacted Oklahoma Sewer Lawyer Jim Buxton to investigate the incident and pursue justice for the Correa family.
