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.
Carmen says she is stilling having problems four and a half years later. A Taylor Wimpey spokesperson told TeessideLive it "quickly responded to the issues raised after it was first reported" and remains committed to resolving the issue.
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."
