GALVESTON — A home owner alleges a septic company's defective and incomplete work caused severe drainage issues on her property.
April Vaughan filed a complaint Oct. 24 in Galveston County District Court against Gulf Coast Aerobic Services alleging breach of contract and other claims.
Vaughan, according to her complaint, contracted with Gulf Coast Aerobic on June 8, 2021, to install a septic system at her property in Santa Fe for $9,800. She claims Gulf Coast Aerobic failed to complete the project and left a septic tie that is supposed to serve the other side of her house. Vaughan further claims Gulf Coast Aerobic's negligence caused drainage problems in her backyard and water to leak through her laundry and kitchen drainage lines which then created pools of "stagnant water" that posed a health risk.
Vaughan alleges that even after Gulf Coast Aerobic sent two employees back to her property in August of 2021, they failed to fix the incomplete and defective work. She also alleges that in November of 2021, she had to pay a plumbing company $5,659.15 to repair the defendant's defective work including having to install a sump pump for the sewer line that was never connected to her property's septic system.
Vaughan seeks monetary relief of $11,467.93, interest, trial by jury and all other just relief. She is represented by Terry Vanderpool of Vanderpool Law PC in Houston.
