Geneva is one of the Fox River valley’s most carefully preserved communities — a Third Street shopping district that draws visitors from across the region, a riverfront that’s been thoughtfully developed, and residential streets lined with Victorian-era homes, Craftsman bungalows, and graceful early 20th-century construction that has aged beautifully. The Scottish Plumber serves Geneva with the same level of care the community brings to everything else.
The historic homes near the river and downtown — many dating from the 1880s through the 1920s — carry plumbing that reflects their age: lead and galvanized supply lines in the oldest properties, clay tile sewer laterals that have been accommodating tree roots for over a century, and cast iron drain systems that are working hard to keep up. For Geneva’s older homes, pipe stent repair is often the most appropriate choice when a sewer section fails — it makes a lasting fix without the excavation that could damage mature gardens, historic masonry, or the brick-lined streets that give Geneva its character. We also handle sewer rodding, full trenchless lining, complete repiping, and water heater service throughout the city.
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.
