Morton Grove

Morton Grove is a well-established north Cook County suburb between Niles and Skokie, with a residential character built largely on mid-century bungalows, ranches, and split-levels that line streets shaded by mature trees. Those trees are a genuine asset to the neighborhood — and a consistent presence in the clay sewer laterals running beneath it. Root intrusion in older clay tile lines is one of the most common plumbing issues in Morton Grove, and it tends to show up as recurring slow drains or backups rather than a sudden emergency — which makes it easy to put off until it isn’t.


The Scottish Plumber handles Morton Grove’s residential plumbing efficiently and honestly. We conduct sewer camera inspections to establish conditions before recommending any work, follow through with drain cleaning or sewer repair based on actual findings, and carry out galvanized pipe replacement when pressure and water quality signal that the supply system has run its course. For basements that have dealt with water, our flood control installations provide lasting relief. We also service water heaters and sump systems 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.
