Elmhurst

Elmhurst is one of DuPage County’s most attractive historic communities — a downtown with genuine character, tree-lined streets, and homes that span more than a century of construction. Near York Road and the Metra Union Pacific West line, you’ll find Victorian-era and early 20th-century homes with original woodwork and, frequently, original plumbing running beneath the floors. Galvanized supply lines, lead service connections, and cast iron drain stacks are all present in Elmhurst’s older sections, and they all eventually reach the same conclusion.

 

The Scottish Plumber has worked throughout Elmhurst’s residential neighborhoods and commercial corridors for years. We conduct sewer camera inspections to establish conditions before any work begins, carry out drain cleaning and targeted sewer repairs, and replace lead and galvanized supply lines with proper copper repiping. We also handle water heater installation and sump pump upgrades for homes preparing for the next decade of service.

 

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.
