Clifton homes and water damage
Most Clifton homes are 1920s–1950s houses with basements. Most Clifton homes are 1920s–1950s colonials, capes and two-families with basements, plaster walls and aging plumbing. Floor drains tied into older sewers back up during heavy storms, and Ida in 2021 flooded basements across Passaic County. Many two-families have shared basements, water heaters and storage for both units. Many homes have basement family rooms and storage, so water spreads to valuable belongings quickly and fast extraction matters.
