Main Sewage Line Backup into my Home
On the evening of Thursday, March 10, 2022 at around 6:30PM, there was a strong odor and a sound of bubbling coming from somewhere in our home. We walked into the kitchen and found sewer water coming down the hallway towards my kitchen. My husband rushed to get the wet/dry vacuum and placed towels around toilet and doors leading to bedroom across the hall and leading into our laundry room and pantry. As my husband yelled "call a plumber!" I called Moreno's Plumbing Company, Licensed Professional plumber in our area. Mr Moreno answered the phone and asked these questions, "Were you running the dishwasher or washing clothes or using any water?" I replied, "No water was running. We were watching TV." He then said, go to the other bathrooms to see what is going on. I saw sewer water coming up through the showers in both of the other bathrooms and the toilet was overflowing. Mr. Moreno said you need to call the Police since they have access to emergency services to clear the main sewer line located in your alley.
After hanging up with the plumber, I called the Police department and requested that the person who answered the phone to please, help us and send the city emergency utilities staff, due to sewer water coming into our home our toilets are overflowing and sewer water is coming up through our showers.
We need help please.
Coalinga utilities worker staff arrived shortly after I called the Police Department.
Once the City worker arrived he said nothing is wrong with the main. I told him a few months ago there was sewer water coming down the alley towards our home. The worker said, "Oh we fixed that situation." I replied, "Well I guess it was not fixed because we have sewer water coming into our home and sewer water flowing out of our toilets and showers." After calling the Police the second time, the utility worker returned with a larger truck he used the equipment on that larger truck and cleared the main sewer line. All the sewage overflow issues in our home ended, after the correct equipment was used by the emergency utility worker.
That evening, I emailed the city manager to inform her of what was happening and requested to file a claim with the city for the damages to my home due to sewage back flow that was caused by the city sewer main. I also filed an insurance claim with my Home Owners Insurance.
My Insurance Adjustor sent a Licensed professional abatement/mitigation company, ALM Environmental, to remove the sewer damaged items in my home. This would include any and all materials that are porous in nature and came into contact with the high bacteria water of a sewage back flow. These material will include; baseboards, Sheetrock, vanities, laminate flooring, carpet, insulation, etc. As of 3/16/22 all of the emergency water mitigation has been completed in order to at least stabilize the situation and make it more safe to remain in the home. Further repairs are needed in order to bring the home back to pre loss conditions. An estimate for the remaining work is being created by ALM Environmental. This estimate will reflect what has been done and what is still needed. The Plumber arrived early in the AM and did a thorough check of our toilets, showers and ran water in all sinks & baths and found no clog of our drain lines. The licensed plumber has determined that the city main sewer caused the sewer backup into our home. My home owner Insurance has referred me to Olsen Construction for repairs due to the abatement/mitigation of sewer water that backed up and has contaminated my home.
Thank you,
Bonnie Wikler

Speaking with 4 generations experience and
knowledge in Oil drilling and production
I can assure you that city council has
absolutely no say so in their regard.
Other than a councilman using it for self
serving reasons, it is as worthless as the all
the time and paper it's written on.
I suggest just signing it and try moving
towards accomplishing something
productive.
How about the "In God We Trust" plaque for
City Hallo. That has been well over a year.
I'm sure all the compliments felt very
rewarding.
Regards, Greg Cody
