Skokie

Skokie is one of the most densely populated and culturally diverse suburbs in Cook County — a large, well-established north suburban community with a rich history, a vibrant commercial center along Dempster Street and Old Orchard Road, and residential neighborhoods of bungalows, ranch homes, and apartment buildings that largely date from the 1940s through the ’60s. That vintage is reliably predictive of what’s happening in the plumbing: galvanized steel supply lines in the walls, lead service connections to the water main in the oldest blocks, cast iron drains in the basements, and clay tile sewer laterals beneath the streets that have had considerable time to develop their relationship with Skokie’s mature tree canopy.


The Scottish Plumber serves Skokie’s residential, multi-unit, and commercial properties with full-service plumbing expertise. Lead service line and galvanized pipe replacement are priorities we handle with proper permitting and care. We conduct sewer camera inspections, handle drain cleaning and sewer repair, and install overhead flood control systems for basements that have dealt with water intrusion. We also service water heaters and sump systems throughout the village.


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.
