Woman claims Sun Service failed to properly install drain line, caused water leaks

Contract 01

EDWARDSVILLE – A South Roxana homeowner alleges that an Edwardsville business failed to properly install a drain line and caused damages to her home.

Lisa McManus-Turner filed a complaint on Aug. 8 in the Madison County Circuit Court against Sun Service Co. alleging negligence.

According to the complaint, the plaintiff alleges that on Sept. 20, 2012, she entered into a contract agreement with the defendant to perform weatherization of her home, including installing a furnace, PVC flue pipe, condensate pump with drain line and a concentric kit. 

The plaintiff claims the condensation drain line was installed improperly, resulting in water leaks, damage to property and development of toxic mold. 

As a result, McManus-Turner claims she suffered diminution and reduction in the overall value of her property and was exposed to the health hazards of mold. 

The plaintiff seeks judgment in an amount of $50,000, and costs as provided for by statute and any other relief to which the court deems just. 

She is represented by John J. Hopkins of John J. Hopkins & Associates, PC in Alton.

Madison County Circuit Court case number 17-L-1134
