Batavia

Batavia is one of the Fox River valley’s most appealing communities — a genuine historic downtown, a riverfront that actually gets used, and a mix of Victorian-era homes alongside newer development that has filled in gracefully over the decades. The older homes near the river and downtown date from the late 1800s through the early 1900s, and they carry the plumbing history you’d expect: lead service lines in some of the oldest properties, galvanized supply pipes in the ones built through the 1940s, and clay tile sewer laterals that have been charming the neighborhood’s tree roots for generations.


For Batavia’s historic homes, pipe stent repair is often the best solution when a sewer line section fails — it targets the damaged area precisely without requiring excavation that could disturb mature landscaping, historic masonry, or period-appropriate hardscaping. The Scottish Plumber has done extensive trenchless work in communities exactly like Batavia, and we approach every older home with the care it deserves. We also handle drain cleaning, full sewer lining, water heater installation, and sump pump service throughout the city.


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.
