Western Springs

Western Springs is one of the western suburbs’ most attractive historic villages — a compact, walkable community along the BNSF Metra line with a charming downtown, tree-lined residential streets, and homes that span from late Victorian and craftsman bungalows near the train station to mid-century construction further out. The older sections of Western Springs carry the plumbing history their age implies: galvanized supply lines, lead service connections in the earliest homes, and clay tile sewer laterals that the village’s impressively mature trees have been steadily infiltrating for as long as the trees have been impressively mature.


The Scottish Plumber serves Western Springs’ residential properties with the precision and care that well-maintained historic homes deserve. We conduct sewer camera inspections before recommending any lateral work, offer trenchless repair options that protect established landscaping, and carry out lead and galvanized pipe replacement with attention to the finished interiors these homes typically feature. We also replace aging water heaters and service 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.
