Bridgeport sits right on Long Island Sound, and that waterfront location shapes its water-damage risk. Connecticut’s largest city contends with coastal flooding and storm surge, powerful nor’easters, and the occasional tropical system pushing up the coast \u2014 all working on a housing stock that skews old.<\/p>\n

Even ordinary heavy rain strains drainage in the flatter, built-up areas. Coastal flood water is contaminated and salty, which makes prompt, thorough cleanup essential.<\/p>\n
