Glenview is a north suburban Cook County community with a split personality — in the best way. The older residential neighborhoods near the Metra Milwaukee District North line have the kind of mid-century and earlier housing stock that comes with galvanized pipes and cast iron drains that have been in service since the Eisenhower administration. On the other end of the spectrum, the redeveloped former Naval Air Station site — now the Glen Town Center — brought newer residential and commercial construction with its own set of maintenance timelines. The Scottish Plumber serves both.
For Glenview’s older neighborhoods, our most common calls involve sewer camera inspections, galvanized pipe replacement, and drain cleaning for laterals dealing with decades of root intrusion from Glenview’s generous tree canopy. For newer properties throughout the Glen and surrounding developments, we handle water heater service, sump pump replacement, and general plumbing maintenance. Commercial properties along Waukegan Road are also part of our service area.
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.
