Kenilworth is among the most distinctive communities on the North Shore — a small, planned village established in the 1890s with a cohesive architectural character and some of the most well-preserved historic homes in the Chicago suburbs. Many of these homes have been meticulously maintained above the floor line for over a century. Below it, the original plumbing — lead service connections, galvanized supply lines, and clay tile sewer laterals — has been doing its best to keep pace with those preservation standards, with varying degrees of success.
The Scottish Plumber approaches Kenilworth with the precision these historic properties demand. We assess lead and galvanized supply lines thoroughly and carry out replacements with minimal disruption to finished interiors. Our sewer camera inspections provide a clear picture of lateral conditions beneath manicured lawns, and our trenchless repair options mean those lawns stay intact. We also handle water heater service and sump system upgrades for homes where protecting a century of craftsmanship starts with reliable infrastructure.
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.
