Clarendon Hills

Clarendon Hills is one of those small, well-kept suburbs along the BNSF Metra line where the homes are handsome, the sidewalks are clean, and the downtown has managed to stay genuinely charming without becoming a caricature of itself. Many of the homes closest to the train station date from the 1920s through the 1940s — craftsman bungalows and Tudor-style houses with original character and original plumbing that has been doing its best ever since.


Galvanized supply lines and cast iron drain stacks are the norm in these older Clarendon Hills homes, and while cast iron holds up surprisingly well, galvanized steel does not age gracefully. Rust buildup restricts flow, reduces pressure, and eventually causes leaks. The Scottish Plumber handles full repiping jobs as well as targeted repairs, always starting with a sewer camera inspection to understand what’s happening in the lateral before recommending a course of action. We also service sump pumps and install water heaters sized properly for the home.


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.
