Why Fair Lawn Homes Are Vulnerable to Sewage Backup

Fair Lawn's post-war homes, including many Bergen County colonials and split-levels, often face issues due to aging infrastructure. The proximity to the Passaic River and the area's clay-heavy soil can exacerbate basement flooding during heavy rains, leading to a higher risk of sewage backups. Seasonal patterns, particularly during spring thaw and summer storms, increase the vulnerability of local homes to water damage.
