Evanston

Evanston is one of the most architecturally varied communities on the North Shore — a city in its own right, home to Northwestern University, a vibrant downtown along Church and Davis Streets, and residential neighborhoods that include everything from lakefront mansions and Victorian-era graystone three-flats to mid-century apartments and newer construction. The older housing stock in Evanston — and there is a great deal of it — carries with it the full range of aging plumbing challenges: lead service lines, galvanized supply pipes, cast iron drains, and clay tile sewer laterals that have been dealing with the city’s mature tree canopy for a very long time.


The Scottish Plumber serves homeowners and building owners throughout Evanston with full-service residential and multi-unit plumbing. We conduct sewer camera inspections to assess the condition of old laterals, carry out lead service line and galvanized pipe replacement with proper permitting, handle drain cleaning and sewer repairs, and install water heaters and sump systems appropriate for the property type and age.


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.
