Why Irvington faces sewage backup risk
"A well-preserved house doesn’t mean a well-preserved sewer line" — the honest angle for Irvington.
Irvington is known for its well-preserved early-1900s residential architecture.
The neighborhood has extensive mature tree-lined streets.
Many larger historic homes have had fixtures added over the decades.
Century-old original laterals beneath cosmetically preserved homes, mature tree root intrusion, and larger homes with added fixtures over time outpacing original lateral sizing are all genuine backup risk factors here.
