Carol Stream

Carol Stream is one of DuPage County’s larger planned communities — developed steadily from the 1960s onward with a mix of ranch homes, split-levels, and later townhome and commercial development. That wave of construction means a significant portion of Carol Stream’s housing is now old enough to warrant a close look at the plumbing. Polybutylene pipes — installed in many homes from the late 1970s through the early 1990s — are a particular concern, as they degrade over time and can fail without much warning.


The Scottish Plumber handles Carol Stream’s plumbing needs across the board. We inspect, repair, and replace aging supply and drain lines, carry out sewer video inspections to catch root intrusion and cracked lines early, and offer professional drain cleaning that goes beyond the store-shelf solutions. Water heater replacements and sump pump upgrades are among our most common service calls in DuPage County — and for good reason, given how the area’s clay soils behave during heavy rain.


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.
