Blockage sends sewage pouring into woman’s home, yard; company denies responsibility

Sewage backup Union City home

SOUTH FULTON COUNTY, Ga. — A Union City homeowner says she has a stinky problem in her yard, and no one is taking responsibility for causing the sewer back up.

The AT&T contractor’s explanation LIVE on Channel 2 Action News at 4 p.m.

April Glover said it’s so bad she’s afraid to invite people over for the holidays.

The company the homeowner is blaming, Ansco, told Channel 2’s Tom Jones that it is not responsible.

Glover says Ansco is responsible and needs to make the repairs to stop this overflow.

“When it was hot I smell it. And it’s like flies. You can’t even come out of the garage,” she said.

Sewage is flowing from her home and into her front yard. At one point, it overflowed into her home.

“My whole downstairs was flooded with sewage,” Glover said.

A plumber asked her if there had been construction in her yard.

“He said this is a blockage; y’all did not cause,” she said.

Glover remembered there were construction crews in her neighborhood. She says her video doorbell recorded a mini excavator in front of her home.

Someone painted orange spray where the blockage is, and they planted a flag in her yard.
