Bridgeport
What we see under Bridgeport homes
Bridgeport is Connecticut's largest city. Much of it is triple-deckers, multifamily houses and row houses built in the late 1800s and early 1900s, and a lot of that original clay and cast iron sewer pipe is still in the ground.
Parts of the older city sewer system carry storm water as well as sewage. In a heavy rain those pipes fill, and water can push back into basements in the lower neighborhoods near the harbor.

Century-old clay and cast iron lines crack, corrode and collapse. When a Bridgeport line keeps backing up after cleaning, a camera usually finds the broken section, and we price the repair before any digging.

Triple-deckers and multifamily buildings share drain stacks, so one clog can hit several units. We work around tenants, keep the landlord in the loop and clear the stack or the main.

Questions
Bridgeport sewer and drain questions
Why are basement backups so common in older Bridgeport homes?
Old pipe and old sewers. Many lines are original clay or cast iron, and some neighborhoods are on combined sewers that carry rain water too, so heavy storms push water back toward basements.
Do you work on multifamily buildings and triple-deckers?
Yes. Shared stacks and several units are a big part of our Bridgeport work, for owners and landlords.
Can a backwater valve stop my basement from flooding?
It stops sewage coming back up the sewer line. If water comes in from the yard instead, that is a gutter or underground drain fix.
