Lincolnwood

Lincolnwood is a small, densely developed Cook County village immediately north of Chicago along Devon Avenue and Touhy — a community of solid brick homes that function as a natural extension of Chicago’s North Side bungalow belt rather than a departure from it. Many of Lincolnwood’s homes were built in the 1940s and ’50s, which means galvanized steel supply pipes and clay tile sewer laterals are common findings on service calls here, along with cast iron drain stacks that have been handling decades of household use.


The Scottish Plumber is well-acquainted with the plumbing characteristics of communities like Lincolnwood. We replace galvanized supply lines and lead service connections thoroughly and properly, conduct sewer camera inspections on clay laterals to identify root intrusion and structural issues, and carry out drain cleaning and sewer repair as the findings warrant. We also install flood control and overhead sewer systems for basements in this area that have seen water during heavy Chicago-area rain events.


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.
