Key facts: Connecticut
- The shoreline answers to the Sound and its hurricanes, the river valleys remember 1955, and the hill towns deal with ice dams, wells and frozen pipes.
- Along I-95, surge and storm rain threaten towns from Stamford to New London.
- Inland, the Naugatuck, Still and Norwalk rivers flooded disastrously in 1955.[1]
Three water patterns in one small state
Along I-95, surge and storm rain threaten towns from Stamford to New London. Inland, the Naugatuck, Still and Norwalk rivers flooded disastrously in 1955.[1] And winter brings ice dams everywhere. Your first call should say which of these you are facing.
Older housing raises the stakes
Three-deckers, plaster walls and fieldstone cellars are everywhere. Test for lead and asbestos before anything is opened, and expect drying to be slower than in new construction.
