BIRMINGHAM, Ala (WIAT) — A Birmingham man is displaced days after his Glenn Iris home flooded, and he is expressing concerns it could happen again.

Nick Salyers says while cleaning up his damaged home, he discovered where the flood water came pouring in. After further inspection, he says storm drains in the neighborhood bring water directly to his home.

“There’s a very clear path through which water always ends up here. This is the bottleneck through which all the water in this entire neighborhood ends up,” Salyers said while surveying the area.

Friday afternoon, Salyers said 3 to 4 inches of water traveled from the master bedroom into the kitchen. He says he lost furniture, clothes, and other items.

Salyers says his renter’s insurance policy through AAA has denied his claims.

CBS 42 reached out to AAA. A representative says all AAA policies do not cover rising outside water coming inside, and to receive that coverage, you must take out a separate policy.

Salyers says the American Red Cross, his company, and other private sources have been helping him in his time of need.

His biggest concern as rain continued Wednesday afternoon is that his home would flood again.

“What we have here is a two-fold problem. We have interior damages done with the flooding, but we also have the cause of the flood which is exterior, and we’ve got to find a way to prevent this from happening from both angles, because we can’t have this happen again.”

Salyers says he reached out to the city of Birmingham about the issue and filed a complaint with 311. He says he is still waiting on a response.

CBS 42 called Birmingham city councilor Valerie Abbott. A representative from her office says all complaints filed through the 311 system are sent to the proper department and investigated, and then resolutions to the problem sought.

CBS 42 also contacted Mayor Randall Woodfin’s office. We are waiting on a response.

Salyers says he believes the Vulcan Expansion Project could be behind the issue with the storm drains.

He reached out to Brasfield & Gorrie who oversaw the project. A representative from their insurance agency contacted Salyers while CBS 42 was there.

CBS 42 also contacted Brasfield & Gorrie. They say they are listening to Salyers’s complaints and concerns.

Salyers says he just wants answers soon, and hopefully before more rain causes further damage to his home.
