Arlington Heights

Arlington Heights is one of the north suburbs’ anchor communities — a well-established, walkable village with a genuinely active downtown, good schools, and a housing stock that spans from Victorian-era homes near the historic core to postwar bungalows and ranches that filled in through the 1950s and ’60s, to newer construction on the edges. That range of housing ages means a range of plumbing ages, and The Scottish Plumber is familiar with all of it.


The older homes near the Metra station and along the historic streets often carry galvanized supply lines and clay tile sewer laterals that have been quietly deteriorating for decades. Mid-century homes built during Arlington Heights’ biggest growth period frequently have cast iron drains approaching the end of their useful life. And across the village, mature trees — the ones that make the neighborhoods look so attractive — are exactly the same ones sending roots into aging sewer lines. We handle drain cleaning and sewer rodding, trenchless sewer repair, water heater replacement, and sump pump service 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.
