Joliet

Joliet is one of Illinois’ most historically significant cities — built on the Des Plaines River and the old Illinois and Michigan Canal corridor, with a downtown that reflects its long industrial and commercial history and neighborhoods that span from Victorian-era homes near the city center to postwar bungalows and ranches that expanded the city through the mid-20th century. Like any city of its age and scale, Joliet’s plumbing history is written in layers — and The Scottish Plumber has worked through all of them.


The older neighborhoods near downtown and the historic east side feature homes where lead and galvanized supply lines are still found, where original clay tile sewer laterals have been in the ground for over a century, and where the city’s mature street trees have had plenty of time to explore every available pipe joint. The mid-century neighborhoods have their own set of concerns — cast iron drain systems approaching end of life, water heaters that are well overdue. We handle drain cleaning and sewer rodding, trenchless sewer repair, full repiping, water heater service, and sump pump installation throughout Joliet.


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.
