Why Ridgewood Homes Are Vulnerable to Sewage Backups

Ridgewood's charming Bergen County homes, including many colonials and split-levels, often feature older plumbing systems susceptible to backups. The local geography, with the Ho-Ho-Kus Brook running through the area, combined with heavy seasonal storms, can exacerbate these issues. Additionally, Ridgewood's well-draining soils can quickly become saturated during storms, increasing the likelihood of sewage issues.
