Bellevue is a dense riverside borough just north of downtown, its older houses split between owners and renters on tight, close-set lots. Aging plumbing and combined sewer lines under these streets do not hold up well when a hard freeze hits or a heavy storm overwhelms the system. Basement backups here tend to affect several houses on a block at once. Bellevue's combined-sewer system means storm water and sewage back up together. Original plumbing cracks during freezes. Tight lot drainage patterns mean backup affects neighbors. From Bellevue, crews also cover nearby Brookline, Shaler Township, Carrick, Dormont, Munhall, Beechview.
