Romeoville has grown substantially over the past few decades from a modest Will County community into a thriving suburb with a significant commercial and light industrial presence along Route 53 and an expanding residential base across multiple generations of subdivision development. The mix of housing ages here reflects that growth arc: older sections of the village with mid-century construction sit alongside neighborhoods from the 1980s and ’90s, with more recent development on the edges. Each era brings its own plumbing profile.
Mid-century homes in the older parts of Romeoville often have galvanized supply lines and cast iron drain systems that are well into the twilight of their service life. Homes from the 1980s and ’90s may include polybutylene supply lines — a material that was widely used in that era and is now well-documented as prone to failure. And across all of Romeoville, flat Will County terrain means sump pump reliability is genuinely important — when it rains hard, basements without proper drainage systems find out quickly. The Scottish Plumber handles sewer rodding and drain cleaning, full repiping, water heater replacement, sump pump installation, and trenchless sewer repair throughout the village.
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.
