Niles

Niles is a north Cook County suburb along Milwaukee Avenue and Touhy Avenue with a mix of older residential bungalows, commercial corridors, and the occasional landmark — including a half-scale replica of the Leaning Tower of Pisa, which is Niles’s way of keeping things interesting. The residential neighborhoods carry a mid-century plumbing profile that is by now very familiar: galvanized supply lines, cast iron drains, and clay tile sewer laterals that have had decades to develop their own ecosystem underground. The commercial strips along Milwaukee and Touhy have their own drain and grease management needs that are equally well-established.


The Scottish Plumber handles both sides of Niles — residential and commercial — with the same methodical approach. For homeowners, we conduct sewer camera inspections, carry out drain cleaning and sewer repair, replace galvanized supply lines, and install flood control systems for basements that have dealt with water intrusion. We also service water heaters and sump systems throughout the village. For commercial properties, we provide drain maintenance and grease trap service.


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.
