What Makes Compo Vulnerable to Sewage Backups
Living in Compo means dealing with combined sewer overflow during heavy nor'easter rainfall events sooner or later. The good news: water damage is fully recoverable when you catch it fast and bring in certified technicians.
Compo's proximity to the Long Island Sound and its location in the Western Connecticut Planning Region make it vulnerable to heavy rainfall and storm surges. The area's clay soil can also slow drainage, increasing the risk of sewage backup during extreme weather events.
Most sewage backup cleanup calls in Compo come from combined sewer overflow during heavy nor'easter rainfall events. Local mold risk: 24-48 hours
