Glencoe

Glencoe is one of the North Shore’s most beautiful communities — home to the Chicago Botanic Garden, a stretch of Lake Michigan bluffs, and residential streets lined with estate homes ranging from early 20th-century Arts and Crafts residences to more recent construction on generously sized lots. The older homes near the ravines and lakefront carry the full complement of vintage plumbing: galvanized and lead supply lines, cast iron drains, and sewer laterals that wind through root-filled terrain before reaching the main.


The Scottish Plumber brings precision and care to Glencoe’s high-end residential market. We use sewer camera technology to diagnose problems without guesswork, carry out trenchless sewer lining and repair that protects manicured landscaping and mature trees, and replace aging lead and galvanized supply lines properly. For larger estates with higher hot water demand, we size and install tankless and high-capacity water heaters. We also service and upgrade sump systems for homes where the ravine and lakeshore terrain means water management is a year-round consideration.


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.
