La Grange is one of the most appealing historic suburbs in the western corridor — a genuine downtown along Calendar Court and La Grange Road, a lively local business community, and residential streets of Victorian, craftsman, and early 20th-century homes that give the village genuine character. Those older homes, particularly in the blocks surrounding the Metra BNSF station, carry plumbing that reflects their age: lead service connections to the main, galvanized supply lines inside the walls, and cast iron drains that have been handling household wastewater since the Taft administration.
The Scottish Plumber is well-acquainted with La Grange’s older housing stock. Lead service line and galvanized pipe replacement are among our most common services in communities like this one, and we carry out both with proper permitting and attention to the finished interiors these homes typically feature. We also conduct sewer camera inspections on clay tile laterals that have had ample time to invite root intrusion, handle drain cleaning and sewer repair, and install flood control systems for basements that have seen water during heavy rain events.
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.
