Palatine is a large northwest Cook County suburb with a genuinely active downtown along Wood Street and Brockway, a Metra Union Pacific Northwest station that keeps the community well connected, and residential neighborhoods that span from the older homes near the village center to the subdivisions that expanded Palatine’s footprint through the 1970s, ’80s, and beyond. The older sections carry galvanized supply lines and aging sewer laterals; the mid-century and later sections are reaching the point where water heaters, sump pumps, and in some cases polybutylene supply lines need replacing. No era is without its plumbing moment.
The Scottish Plumber handles Palatine’s residential and commercial plumbing from one end of the village to the other. We conduct sewer camera inspections, carry out drain cleaning and sewer repair, replace galvanized and polybutylene supply lines, and install water heaters and sump systems with battery backup. For homes near the low-lying areas around Deer Grove, we install flood control systems that provide real basement protection when the north suburban rain events arrive.
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.
