Hartford's aging combined sewer system serves approximately 80 percent of the city, mixing stormwater runoff with sewage in the same pipes. Heavy rain events overwhelm system capacity, causing sewage backups into basements throughout downtown, Frog Hollow, and South End neighborhoods. These backups introduce Category 3 contamination containing human waste, bacteria, and pathogens requiring aggressive antimicrobial treatment. The Connecticut River's flood history compounds this risk. Properties in the 100-year floodplain face contamination from both river flooding and sewer backups simultaneously. Professional disinfection and deodorization becomes critical when Hartford's infrastructure allows contaminated water into your property.
