Glen Ellyn

Glen Ellyn is one of DuPage County’s most appealing communities — a genuine historic village with a walkable downtown, a lovely central lake, and residential streets shaded by mature trees that have been growing since long before anyone currently reading this was born. Those trees, beautiful as they are, have also been quietly threading their roots into the clay sewer laterals beneath Glen Ellyn’s older neighborhoods for decades. It’s one of the more reliable plumbing truths in the western suburbs: the prettier the street, the more root intrusion in the sewer line.


The Scottish Plumber works throughout Glen Ellyn’s residential areas, from the historic homes near Main Street and the Metra Union Pacific West stop to the newer subdivisions on the village’s edges. We conduct sewer camera inspections to establish conditions, handle drain cleaning and root clearing, and carry out trenchless sewer lining that protects mature landscaping from excavation. We also replace aging galvanized supply lines and service water heaters and sump systems.


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.
