Plumbing in Covington: what local plumbers see most
Covington has some of the oldest housing in the Tri-State. MainStrasse Village, Licking Riverside, Old Seminary Square and Latonia are full of 1800s and early 1900s brick rowhouses and cottages. These homes commonly have clay or cast-iron sewer laterals, lead or galvanized water lines, shared walls and tight basements, which makes experienced, careful plumbers especially important.
Water is supplied by Northern Kentucky Water District (NKWD), sewers are run by Sanitation District No. 1 (SD1), and natural gas comes from Duke Energy. Older river-city sewers can back up in heavy storms, so backwater valves and lateral repairs are common requests.
