Scott County
Plumber in Davenport, IA
Davenport is one of the largest U.S. cities on the Mississippi without a permanent floodwall, so river flooding is part of life. Older homes on the bluffs and cold winters add to the plumbing workload. Many older homes sit on bluffs overlooking the river, with long laterals running downhill to the street.
