Parkville is our home base — our office is right here in Parkville, MO. We know this community inside and out, and we've been serving Parkville homeowners for over 35 years. From the historic downtown area to the neighborhoods along the Missouri River bluffs, we're minutes away from wherever you are.
Parkville is one of the most character-rich communities in the northland, with a historic downtown along the Missouri River and a mix of older established neighborhoods and newer residential development on the bluffs and surrounding areas. Homes near downtown Parkville and along the river corridor can date back to the early 1900s and have the associated plumbing challenges of century-old systems — original cast iron and galvanized pipe, aging sewer laterals, and water service lines that may have never been upgraded.
Parkville's proximity to the Missouri River means groundwater management is an important consideration for many homeowners. Properties in lower-elevation areas near the river or in the English Landing development have elevated groundwater tables during spring flood seasons, making sump pump reliability critical. The clay soils throughout Platte County also contribute to ground movement that can affect buried water and sewer lines over time.
