Hillside

Hillside sits along the Eisenhower Expressway corridor in west Cook County, a community of older bungalows and ranch homes that grew up in the post-war decades and has maintained its residential identity in the shadow of the highway and the surrounding commercial development. The older housing stock here has the usual story: galvanized supply lines that were state of the art in 1952 and have been oxidizing quietly ever since, cast iron drains with decades of accumulated scale, and sewer laterals in clay tile that the area’s mature trees have been slowly colonizing.


The Scottish Plumber serves Hillside with full residential plumbing capabilities. We start difficult-to-diagnose jobs with a sewer camera inspection to avoid guesswork, carry out drain cleaning and sewer repair accurately, and replace galvanized and cast iron piping with modern materials that will serve the home properly for decades. For basements in this part of the Des Plaines River valley that have dealt with water intrusion, our flood control installations provide real, lasting protection.


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.
