ACCOKEEK, Md. - A family in Prince George's County is looking for answers after they said an oil company pumped 100 gallons of fuel into their pipes two weeks ago.
The Calhoun family said Price Oil Company delivered fuel to the wrong Accokeek home on Jan. 10 and their house had to be condemned because of the mistake, leaving them without a home.
"It's hard," Stacy Calhoun said as she held back tears. "I can't even sleep anymore."
Calhoun said her husband came home from work and quickly noticed a very intense smell coming from the basement.
"He went to the basement and saw a big flood of oil and when he went to go get the mail, he actually saw a receipt for $300 from Price Oil Company," Calhoun explained.
It would be a $300 receipt that may have cost the Calhoun family their entire home.
"Most of it had gone through the walls and is now still in the walls and it was just a nightmare," Calhoun said.
Calhoun told FOX 5 that Price Oil Company delivered fuel oil to the wrong address and pumped it into their non-working fuel oil pipe. Since then, the Calhoun family of four has been living out of a hotel until the problem can be resolved.
"We have a 2-year-old and an 11-Year-old who is a special needs child so it's really taken a toll on our family emotionally," the mother explained.
The Calhouns are most upset because they said that Price Oil Company hasn't taken responsibility for the mistake.
"How could you leave a family like this out in the cold with nothing?" Calhoun asked.
More than two weeks later, the Calhouns still don't have many answers and don't know when they can finally, if ever, go home.
"Nobody's doing anything. Nobody's stepping up the plate," Calhoun said.
FOX 5 got in touch with the Price Oil Company and they admitted that they went to the wrong address and said they apologized to the Calhouns. Price Oil Company claimed there was nothing they could do on their end at this point, stating it was up to their insurance company to pay for the damage. FOX 5 was told the insurance company was investigating how to handle the claim.
