Aurora is Illinois’ second-largest city and one of the Fox River valley’s most historically significant communities — the first city in Illinois to have electric street lights, and a place with a built environment that reflects its long history. The East Side neighborhoods feature homes from the late 1800s and early 1900s, where lead and galvanized supply lines are still found on service calls, and where clay sewer tiles have been dealing with tree root pressure for over a century. The West Side and newer developments tell a different story — more recent construction, different pipe materials, but no shortage of plumbing needs.
The Scottish Plumber works throughout Aurora. Older properties near the Fox River and the historic downtown require careful attention to aging infrastructure — we assess before we recommend, and we use trenchless repair methods whenever they’re the right call, particularly in neighborhoods where pipe stent repair can fix a damaged section without disturbing the historic character of the property. We also handle drain cleaning, water heater replacement, and sump pump installation across all of Aurora’s neighborhoods.
When you call us about a backed-up or slow sewer, our first move is to rod and clear the line — get things flowing and your home back to normal. Sewer rodding starts at just $99 when there’s an outside cleanout to rod from, a price we’ve held since we opened in 2006. While nearly everything else has gotten more expensive, our starting price hasn’t moved in nearly twenty years. Once the line is open, we follow up with a sewer video inspection to see exactly what caused the problem — tree roots, a crack, a pipe belly — and give you an honest picture of what, if anything, needs to happen next.
We are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year — including holidays — so when something goes wrong at 2 a.m., you can reach us. We offer free estimates during regular business hours with no trip charge to come out. Most companies charge just to show up; we don’t. When a sewer line needs more than rodding, The Scottish Plumber is one of the most experienced trenchless sewer repair companies in Chicagoland — doing this since 2006 with thousands of repairs completed across the area. For older homes especially, pipe stent repair is worth knowing about: a precise, minimally invasive fix that spares your floors, walls, and landscaping.
