The Scottish Plumber

Smell sewer gas? No need to panic. Our technicians can locate the source of the gas and provide you with options to eliminate it. For more difficult cases, our non-toxic smoke test can identify even the most hard-to-find sources. Established in 2006, The Scottish Plumber (Illinois Plumbing License #058-129545) was started by local Chicago plumbers who believe in quality products, innovative services, and honesty in pricing. The company was built on the idea that high quality plumbing service can and should be provided at an affordable price and all other aspects of the business must be managed with this goal in mind.

The Scottish Plumber was built on old world quality, a friendly attitude, and the idea that high-caliber plumbing service can be provided at a fair price. We are known for innovative products and services, and were one of the first companies in America to perform trenchless sewer repair. Today we've completed over a thousand such repairs all over Chicagoland. Our estimates are 100% free because we believe that every homeowner should be able to get multiple quotes without cutting into their repair budget.

When it comes to trenchless sewer repair, Chicago trusts The Scottish Plumber. We were one of the first companies in Chicago to offer it and we have done over a thousand repairs since. Trenchless sewer repair can save homes and savings accounts, but it's best left to experienced professionals. With traditional sewer repair, the broken pipe has to be dug up and exposed. This means that anything above the damaged pipe- decks, bushes, sidewalks - has to be removed and later restored. It's often messy and expensive.

If you've ever experience a broken sewer, you know what a mess and headache the repair can be. If what's needed is sewer replacement, then a trench the length of your entire sewer line has to be dug in the yard. This means that anything resting above this line has to be removed. Are you ready to disassemble your deck or remove your new concrete walkway? We didn't think so. Enter sewer lining. This process, also known as trenchless sewer repair or sewer liner, is an excellent alternative to conventional sewer repair or sewer replacement.

Being plumbers, we're not often in the business of glamour. Many of the items we install are either underground, inside of a wall, or hidden away in a dark corner or closet. But once in a while, we get to install something that sits out in the open for everyone to see - a faucet. A faucet is something you can actually show off to your neighbors. Today's models come in a wide variety of designs, and you can choose one of several types of finish, including chrome or brushed nickel. And to top off their incredibly handsome looks, today's faucets offer unmatched functionality and water efficiency.

The Scottish Plumber strongly believes in the quality of our work and we're completely dedicated to the satisfaction and happiness of our customers. We back it up by standing behind our work with some of the best warranties in the industry. All of our general plumbing work is guaranteed for a minimum of 1 year for parts and labor. We honor all manufacturers' warranties, and guarantee our workmanship as well. We also offer up to a 1-year warranty on any sewer cleaning service and up to a 90-day warranty on any other drain cleaning.

Whether clogged, running, leaking, or otherwise lacking, a problem with your toilet can be more than annoying. It can be inconvenient, costly, and at times, maddening. Luckily, The Scottish Plumber is here to provide some guidance. Whether you want to try to fix the problem yourself or need an expert for your toilet repair or installation, we can help. If the object clogging your toilet is in or near the toilet itself, a simple plunging can do the trick. However, if plunging does not solve the problem, or the problem keeps recurring, the blockage may be further down the line, and may in fact be a clogged sewer.
