Wilmette

Wilmette is one of the North Shore’s most distinguished communities — home to the iconic Bahá’í House of Worship, the Village Green, and residential streets of Victorian, craftsman, and Prairie-style homes that rank among the finest in the Chicago metropolitan area. The homes closest to the lakefront and the ravines that characterize the North Shore landscape include properties from the late 1800s and early 1900s where lead service lines, galvanized supply pipes, and clay tile sewer laterals have been in continuous service for well over a century. Caring for these homes requires genuine expertise and respect for what’s already there.


The Scottish Plumber brings that expertise to Wilmette. Lead service line replacement is a priority we handle properly — with full permitting, minimal disruption to finished interiors, and genuine attention to the quality of the work. We conduct sewer camera inspections on lateral runs through ravine terrain where root intrusion is particularly aggressive, offer trenchless repair options that protect historic landscapes, and install sump systems with battery backup for homes where the lakeshore water table demands it. We also service and replace water heaters 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.
