Northfield

Northfield is a small, quietly upscale Cook County village between Glenview and Winnetka on the North Shore — a place of established homes, wooded lots, and the kind of residential tranquility that comes with four-way stops rather than traffic lights. Many of Northfield’s homes were built in the mid-20th century and carry the plumbing that comes with that era, including galvanized supply lines that have been slowly restricting flow for decades and cast iron drain stacks that have served long and faithfully. Root intrusion in the sewer laterals is a consistent issue in communities with this density of mature trees.


The Scottish Plumber serves Northfield’s residential properties with the attention to detail that the community’s homes require. We conduct sewer camera inspections to establish lateral conditions accurately, offer trenchless repair options that protect established landscaping, and carry out galvanized pipe replacement with minimal disruption to finished interiors. We also service and replace water heaters and maintain sump systems with battery backup for this part of Cook County.


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.
