Glendale Heights

Glendale Heights is a mid-sized DuPage County suburb that developed primarily in the 1960s and ’70s, producing the kind of well-built ranch homes and split-levels that are now entering a plumbing crossroads. Water heaters installed in the ’90s are overdue for replacement. Sump pumps are running on faith. Sewer laterals that have never been inspected have had thirty-plus years to accumulate root intrusion from the mature trees lining the neighborhood streets. None of this is unusual — it’s simply what happens when solid homes age without proactive attention to the systems underneath.


The Scottish Plumber makes those proactive calls easy for Glendale Heights homeowners. A sewer camera inspection gives you a clear picture of what’s happening in the lateral before any decisions are made. When drain cleaning solves the problem, we do that and nothing more. When repair is warranted, we offer trenchless options that spare the yard. We also handle water heater replacement and sump system upgrades with the same honest, no-upsell approach.


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.
