    Everything went perfect. Chris E the technician was great. He was on time. Stayed in communication with me throughout. Fixed it very quickly and at a fair price. This is the 3rd time we have used The Scottish Plumber and another great experience. Would highly recommend to anyone!

    This the second time I have used their Services and after this time I can say that the Scottish Plumber will be the only Plumber I will use in the future. I needed to replace an Ejector pump that was in a tight spot under the stairs. Andrew and Jonathon were both very professional and Personable. Not only was the job completed at the estimate cost the area was cleaner then it was when they started.

    Fantastic experience! Ken was right on time, professional, and kept the area clean while replacing the wax seal on our leaky toilet. The work was done quickly and with high quality. Highly recommend for any plumbing needs!

    The Scottish plumber staff, especially Pedro and Anthony who performed my service were professional, friendly and had wonderful communication with me.Pedro and Anthony performed a much needed Precision Hydro Jetting and were so friendly and communicated so well with me showing the camera images to me so I could see the blockage and reason it occurred before they had resolved the issues.The wonderful way I was treated allowed me to feel confident in my choice of plumbing companies and gave me a much needed feeling of trust which is imperative when dealing with a service company such as this.I am extremely pleased with all aspects of the help and service I received from the Scottish Plumber staff and would highly recommend them.

    They did a good job and the everyone was very nice. My only watch-out was that they were a bit disorganized. We had about 5 things to be fixed and it was clear that when the worker arrived he was not aware of the full list of projects wed signed the contract for. This resulted in him not having all the tools and materials he needed so we had to schedule a follow-up visit for everything to be completed. If you are having multiple small projects done at the same time, its worth a call in advance to ensure they are coming prepared to complete everything in one visit.

    The Scottish Plumber was my third and best estimate. I could tell right away that Tony knew what he was doing when he assessed the plumbing issue in my condo and that he was going to work to be careful and try his best to avoid breaking tile in my bath. The other two companies bid that they would break through the wall and included that charge and a charge for new fixtures. Fast forward: my plumbing issue is fixed and the tile is still intact. Thank you, Scottish Plumber and Tony!

    I had a leak underneath the sink during the evening. I got this company to help me out. Someone called me and gave me great advice to stop the leak temporarily. In the morning, Ken came around and fixed the issue for me. He even showed me around and taught me a few things. Ken was very patient and informative with his work. He showed empathy towards me when I was explaining to him what went wrong with the sink. I would definitely use this company in the future.

  • Review 8 (2024-11-06 - Rating: 5)

    Ken was such a delight! He came in assessed the situation and found a remedy. Not only was he honest, but truly empathetic to the situation. This is my first time using the Scottish plumber and I am really pleased. Thank you so much for coming out quickly and helping.

    Excellent service. Anthony is a courteous and thorough plumber. Puzzling problem and he called his boss, Jack, who will come with a camera to determine the cause of the blockage and its solution.

    Ive used The Scottish Plumber a few times for work and for my personal home, and I plan to continue calling when I have plumbing issues. Theyve always been great to work with - super easy to schedule, punctual, and very knowledgeable. Well worth the money.

    Service technician arrived earlier than expected, which was nice. Performed the clean out of the pipes quickly and efficiently. Tried to keep the work area as clean as possible. At this point, our issues have been resolved. Hopefully moving forward, he successfully corrected our issues.

    Had an emergency Sunday evening after a long holiday weekend, called Scottish Plumber and our tech Robert responded promptly. From Jessica in the office to our techs Robert & Chuck, we were provided with honest, quality, knowledgeable and courteous service at a good price. They really came through for us and we cant thank them enough for such a great job they did and their expertise! Well be sure to refer friends and family to you in the future. Thank you!!!

    Tom was extremely professional and it was clear he had the skills to properly diagnose our older home’s plumbing issues. He identified a clog in our sewer line and routed it out, cleaned and checked the back flow prevention system, and got the water flowing freely. Thank you, Tom

  • Review 15 (2024-09-20 - Rating: 5)

    We couldnt be happier with our experience. Weve been using The Scottish Plumber for years because they show up when they say they will and they do the work they say theyll do. Never the lowest cost, but when you have water in your basement, reliability and quality beats lowest price every time.

  • Review 16 (2024-12-19 - Rating: 5)

    The Scottish Plumber saves the day again. Johnthan was great! Fixed our trouble tub so quickly. Couldnt be more happy with the service. I will definitely reach out to them again in the future

    Jonathan came to my condo for a price quote and was very kind and informative. I thought I needed to completely replace my garbage disposal but he ended up being able to fix my existing one while onsite! Such amazing service and I will certainly be going to Scottish Plumber for any future needs.

  • Review 18 (2024-10-10 - Rating: 5)

    The Scottish Plumber basically redid the plumbing in our house and they did an excellent job! From estimate to job done, they were professional and the work was top notch. I will definitely call them next time I have an issue that requires a plumber!

    Jonathan was terrific to work with. Ended up being something simple, but more importantly he put our minds at ease. I will be using The Scottish Plumber and Jonathan for another job... when hes back from vacation.

  • Review 23 (2024-10-16 - Rating: 5)

    Tony did a great job fixing a gas leak by our dryer! He was knowledgeable, professional, and friendly. He also left my laundry room cleaner than he found it - LOL. The Scottish Plumber is our household’s #1 choice for all our plumbing needs!

  • Review 24 (2024-08-20 - Rating: 5)

    Tony gave me a pretty honest assessment on how our sump pump and water system was. The last quote I received from another company was overselling everything immediately. And it looks like nothing we need right now and the prices were much competitive as well. I will definitely return when it is time to replace the sump pump!

  • Review 25 (2024-09-23 - Rating: 5)

    Jonathan was great he came to my house early and installed my new toilet . Everything went smoothly. I am a very pleased returning customer . I have shared the Scottish Plumber number with many friends along with my high recommendations.

  • Review 26 (2024-10-22 - Rating: 5)

    Kenny was very polite, friendly, and professional. He took the time to explain the different methods of routing and their individual pricing. Kenny was very thorough in getting the job done and also in describing the found issues.

  • Review 27 (2024-07-02 - Rating: 5)

    Our son flushed an apple down the toilet so I called the Scottish Plumber. Not only did I receive fast service, they accommodated the appointment window to my schedule. Johnathan was very knowledgeable, thorough and was so nice to not only me but my children. The price was reasonable and I’ll definitely use them in the future!

  • Review 28 (2024-09-25 - Rating: 4)

    The scheduler needs to better inform the crew of the job scope. One plumber showed for deep vault pump maintenance. For safety, should have been two. No ladder. Plumber used a bucket & muscles. Work was done. Plumber was excellent.

  • Review 29 (2024-12-20 - Rating: 5)

    Had to have kitchen drainpipe and vent stack piping replaced.The process required opening up the wall for access. Primo did an excellent job and we are very happy with the results.

  • Review 30 (2024-10-14 - Rating: 5)

    10/3/2024Our old house had main drain issues... AGAIN. Jonathan came to snake and clear the line but the roots were too thick and the issue was actually more grave. Jack and Jonathan came.back the next day, put a camera in the drain and confirmed there was a bad line leading to our city sewer. Jack had the team come and remove the old drain pipe from under the basement floor and replace it. While they were there, they also installed a outside clean out, which their price was very economical, compared to other companies. Once again, the Scottish Plumbers saved this old house.1/15/2024Our bathroom was remodeled by a General Contractor. During the Chicago freezing days, our drain pipe started flooding and there was water all over our basement. Our only bathroom became unusable. With the help of Alec (again) he was able to determine the issue with our drain pipe. Alec called in Jack, and Jack was able to get his team together to fix the chop shop plumbing our contractor did. Needless to say, it was a nightmare, but the Scottish Plumber team, lead by Hugo, took their time, got everything done RIGHT, and put our minds at ease. We had a working bathroom in 3 days. I cant recommend them enough! *note: This story was a horrible nightmare and my one paragraph does it no justice*xx/xx/2023Alec came and installed our kitchen sink. Our house is very old and Alec was able to adjust everything for us. He was very patient and kind the entire time he was here. He got rid of our porcelain sink and replaced it with a new standard stainless steal sink. Weve had it installed for about 4 months now and it has been great!xx/xx/2022We got a new stove and the company that sold it to us said we needed a gas valve installed. Scottish Plumbers crew came and handled it in about 1 hour.xx/xx/2021The shower was backing up one evening, which caused a waterfall in our basement coming from the ceiling. The following morning, we contacted The Scottish Plumber to book an appointment and the only opening the dispatcher had was for next week!However, the dispatcher heard the panic in my voice and doubled and tripled checked the schedule to see if she was able to fit us in. She found an opening and told us that Adam would be there between 2-4.Adam sent a notification to let us know he was in route and showed up way before his estimated time of arrival. Once Adam came in, he took a look at our main drain pipe, explained what needed to be done and immediately got to work as soon as I agreed.Adam is extremely confident, quick and knowledgeable in his trade. He took time to explain to me the work he was doing and gave me tips on what needs to be done to prevent future clogs.Once he unclogged the main drain pipe, he tested everything out, cleaned up the mess and everything has been running smoothly, thanks to Adams outstanding work.The Scottish Plumbers will be my go to plumbers, without a shadow of a doubt.10/10 Highly Recommended!

    Once again, the Scottish Plumber impresses. Friendly, efficient and knowledgeable - dont hesitate to call on TSP. Tony did a great job on our water heater (as well as other projects around the house). Very professional and tidy work, at a reasonable price. Thanks TSP!

    Excellent plumbing company. They are attentive to details. Great scheduling. Easy to get in touch with staff to set up scheduling. Professional, courteous and willing to work with customers when things are overlooked or missed. Highly recommend.

  • Review 33 (2024-06-14 - Rating: 5)

    Tom came out to our house on time, assessed the problem with our clogged bathroom sink, then provided a reasonable estimate and quickly resolved the problem. Our house is old, so he also took the time to explain how we could avoid the problem in the future. He was friendly, helpful, and clearly knows his stuff. Ive used The Scottish Plumber several times, and every one of their people has been equally nice and competent. In my experience, The Scottish Plumber is the best plumbing service on the North Shore.

  • Review 34 (2024-07-23 - Rating: 5)

    I called Scottish for a second opinion for a very large expensive project. Jessica and Margie in the office were very helpful and reassuring. Tim T came to our house, and he was prompt (even early), efficient, professional, and knowledgable. He was able to diagnose and fix the problem in about 15 minutes, at almost $1k less than I was quoted yesterday by a different company just to diagnose :-) We wont call anyone else in the future!

  • Review 35 (2024-08-06 - Rating: 5)

    Scottish Plumber provided the best service that I have had in a LONG time. I needed 3 drains rodded in an old building. They actually showed up at the beginning of the arrival window, they had a deep knowledge of the plumbing problems in old properties, they explained everything very well, and the prices were very reasonable. The main plumber on this job, Robert, was very friendly as well. I absolutely recommend The Scottish Plumber, and they will be my first call for future plumbing needs.

    Ken was fantastic. I initially had what was thought to be a small problem that turned out to be a big problem. Ken discovered all the issues and pointed them out to me. the age of the house and pipes hidden behind the walls were near collapse. He showed me everything that was wrong and needed fixing and managed to do all the extensive repairs in one afternoon, not to mention he has a fantastic demeanor. I will definetly use them again should the need arise!

    Fred, Rojo, and Joe, were great. I had a sewage pipe break and needed to replace the hot water tank. Fred did such a professional and detailed job. He took the time to do a quality job. It says a lot when plumbers have no problem with you looking at how they are performing the work; because they are doing the job correctly. Fred even explained to me the various components of the work. They took pride in their work!I also want to thank Darlene, who worked diligently to rectify a matter. I truly appreciate her.

    Home advisor made it right for a recommendation this time. Our water heater broke lastweek leakage at the bottom pretty much its a done deal. Had few bids here and there for some companies to do the job. But so glad I picked the right company to fixed my problem. Completely satisfied with the service rendered by technician Colin of The Scottish Plumber,LLC. Thumbs up! If you guys are looking for a devoted and competitive professional who does the job right they are highly recommended. Definitely be working with them for additional projects in the future. Again Thanks so much Colin!

    I have had the Scottish Plumber to my gut rehab home may times over the past few years to remedy suboptimal renovation work. They have been timely, efficient, friendly, and helpful each and every time. The estimates are exact or maybe a little over what I ended up paying. My bathrooms work fantastic now and our backflow valve install has saved our house from flooding multiple times. I cant say enough good things about their quality work and their reasonable costs.

What more could you ask for?

Superb service, and I highly recommend to anyone who needs sewer and plumbing service with a peace of mind. Thank you again, Ken!

    We have used them and have been happy in the past but wanted to give a shout out to Joshua Bennet. We had a leak in our first floor ceiling that was seemingly only occurring when our third floor shower ran. Joshua did quite a bit pf sleuthing before discovering the source which we would never have thought of. He was very professional and took care of the issue quickly. He even took the time to make sure personal items that I forgot about were removed from the bathroom before doing the work. Excellent work! Thank you!!

  • Review 82 (2023-10-12 - Rating: 5)

    HIGHLY recommend The Scottish Plumber. We were initially drawn to them because of their (rare) free estimate policy -- which is amazing.But we had some major sewer issues that required them to think outside the box -- and not only did they have the technological know-how to create a workable solution, but they went above and beyond to see the project through.In particular, Bill was incredible throughout the project -- working with our general contractor and our exterminator (the crack was allowing rats to get in) to make sure that the house was completely set. He was incredibly honest, didnt try to upsell us, and made it a point to come back to do a double-check on the work himself. He takes great pride in his work, and went above and beyond to guide us through the process.

    I moved my fridge and somehow water started spraying everywhere (pipe bent, etc) shut off the water, and called. Ken came out within the hour as luck would have it, and it was fixed within 3 hours at a reasonable price...he even crawled in my crawl space...he made a stressful situation very manageable...5 starts will use again. Thanks 😊

    I am dealing with some major plumbing issues in my home. Because of that, I’ve interacted with a number of the plumbers working for this company (Jack, Hugo, Scott, Tom and others). They’ve all been friendly, kind, respectful, and recognize the stresses of a project like this. I would highly recommend Scottish Plumber for your plumbing issues.

    Tom did a great job cleaning out our kitchen drain and even fit us in right before the holidays!!My husband and I have been satisfied customers since we moved into this townhome in 2017 and inherited this high maintenance kitchen drain (ground floor unit). Unfortunately our drain has been clogging since the current neighbors moved in upstairs and are not responsible with what they allow to go into their drain (that empties into our drain).Fortunately for us, the Scottish Plumber has always been dependable and offer fair pricing for their services!!

    We hurriedly bought a house with ancient plumbing in Villa Park; this was the Scottish Plumbers second visit in three years. Plumbing pro Ken cleared out whatever was blocking our drain, explained every step of the process, and proposed a longer-term diagnosis that were going to leave for a future owner to sort out.While plumbing issues are not anyones favorite way to start out the new year, Ken was friendly and professional, ran every tap in the house, and relatively quickly solved our drainage backup.Well spare you the photos, and just leave you envisioning our sparkling clean basement drain, thanks to The Scottish Plumber!

    Im so glad I went with Scottish plumber. They dont mess around. They get the job done. I had 2 cracks in my main sewer pipe and they put a stent and cleaned it out. Thought the job was done but then found other issues recurring and they came back with a 4 man crew next day with maybe the worst weather condition you can possibly imagine and manually dug 6 feet to get to resolve the problem and fixed it in no time. I have to thank Arturo and his crew for the amazing job they done. If it wasnt for them I wouldnt know what I wouldve done. I hope the owner knows how lucky he is to have the right employees working for him.

    What can we say about the service… This is the third time we’ve used them and they are INCREDIBLE! We used them this time to replace our kitchen sink and also fix some major back up and plumbing issues we were having. Alec is the technician that came out and he was so responsive, so helpful, so nice, and explained everything to us as he was doing it. It was a much harder job than any of us anticipated because of the hidden issues behind the wall, but he patiently fixed them all. I am so grateful for him and The Scottish Plumber!The second time, we had an issue with our main drain that was backing up water into our shower, thus making it rain in our basement. I called them today, and even though they didn’t have any openings until next week, they still fit us in! Adam is the technician that came over (prompt at the exact time he they said he would). He was friendly, incredibly knowledgeable, helpful, fixed our issue quick, and cleaned everything up! Our last experience was with Matt who installed our water heater, and I can’t say enough great things about him either. I’m not sure how The Scottish Plumber finds these technicians, but keep up the amazing work because we’ll continue coming back and we’ll recommend to anyone looking for these kinds of services. Again, thank you, thank you, thank you for being so wonderful!

    We suspected a broken pipe under our brand new concrete floor with some updated plumbing and drain tile system in our basement performed by another company.Jack and Tom promptly came out, took the time to evaluate, and really dig in to confirm our suspected issue, then take even more time, and go into detail on what he thought made the most sense to repair the issue.We Had a few other companies out that literally didnt take any longer than 5 minutes to inspect and suggest repairs that involved completely overhauling our sewer system (overhead sewer with ejector pit) that we just dumped money into.Jack and Tom proposed a remedy that not only made sense, but kept our best interest in mind, and to work with and improve the system thats already in place. Honest, attention to detail, not here to take our money or overhaul a system that just needs a few changes and repairs to make functional. Appreciate the honest business approach.

    I recently and suddenly started having raw sewage seep through my basement walls. I had at least 6 plumbing companies come out to attempt to diagnose and come up with a plan to resolve the issue. I received a lot of differing opinions as to what the issue was and best way to fix the problem. This was a very expensive and stressful undertaking to sort through all of the opinions. Jack was extremely knowledgeable and reassuring through the whole process and oversaw everything to ensure things were done properly. Fred and his team were extremely pleasant, knowledgeable, professional and kind to me while my entire basement was literally torn apart. One week later, everything is back in place and functioning. As well as doing a great job, the price was very reasonable. I would highly recommend this company.,

    First of all, I would like to thank Katie for all her efforts to quickly locate an available tech to our home on the afternoon of Nov 25th while other companies told me they dont have any plumbers till Monday morning 11/27.We had all of our toilets/sinks backed up and sewer waters overflowed on first floor bathroom and basement.Ken and his helper Anthony showed up on time. They were very professional and polite.Ken explained everything really well and answered all questions/concerns we had and laid out various options with pricing upfront.Since there is no clean-out in front of the house, they ended up bringing in heavy duty equipments and did sewer rodding in the main line. This resoled our main line clog issue.They spent extra time to wipe down walls/baseboards with special cleaning product to prevent mold.He even called the Water restoration company to come out the same night to do the mitigation for the water damage.I would definitely work with The Scottish Plumber again and highly recommend them for your plumbing needs.

    Colin was extremely professional and amicable. Before stepping into my apartment unit he was very considerate and took off his shoes. Upon examining the existing plumbing underneath my kitchen sink, he explained how the pipe construction was flawed. Then he carefully took time to explain how he would rectify the plumbing.

    We had a horrible smell coming out of our bathroom. We called Scottish plumber because we couldn’t figure it out. It turned out to be that our toilet never had a seal… YUCK!!!! There was sewage smell radiating throughout the house out of that bathroom we never used. It’s so crazy because we always thought it was the cat litter that we had in that bathroom. So gross when I think about it now!They were so patient answering questions and prompt in coming. They even went a step further, and fix the handle on that toilet for us.

I got quite a few bids and ultimately went with them even though they were slightly more expensive because I found them to be the most professional and helpful.Jeremy and Jessica are the two people that stand out the most. Jeremy is hands down the best plumber I’ve ever dealt with. Not only did he make repairs but he helps explain what’s happening as he’s doing them. Jessica held things down from the office and communicated with me every chance she had so that I never felt lost.

    Our old water heater had started leaking over the New Years holiday weekend, we knew it needed replacing. It was beyond old, more than 15yrs. We also had an old water softener we wanted take out. We contacted them and their technician got back to us right away, on Sunday. When we explained the situation the technician said that because we were upstairs that they would have to wait to do the job, he didnt have the extra help that was needed to do all the work. He then helped advise us on how to reduce the damage and told us hed help get us taken care. We appreciated the honesty and the help. We got an estimate an paid a deposit that day. The next day, Monday. The office called us and let us know that we were on their priority list and will be serviced in the morning. The technicians arrived on time did great work. Our situation threw them a curve ball. We had some A/C drainage lines in the way. They innovated the install and made things right. We will use them again.

Great service, even when I think the technician realized the job was going to be more difficult than he originally thought. I could kinda see it on his face but he never said anything and certainly never complained. Good guy and I tipped him well for helping me with my plumbing issue and spending pretty much his entire Saturday afternoon doing it.

    We had a great experience with The Scottish Plumber. After another vendor did a little pipe rodding but didnt fix the problem we called Scottish Plumber based on their good online ratings. They had appointments within a day or two and sent out REAL professionals that got to the source of our clog and finally fixed it. We were happy with all the professionals that came out, timing of their service and cost! Give them a call!

    This is a review of The Scottish Plumber serving the Chicagoland area.....HIRE THEM! Their communication, pricing, rapid response, and expert knowledge will solve not just your immediate problem, but prevent future issues by following their advice.We have a 68 year old home with original metal waste pipes. Everything works but, the pipes are not as efficient as modern PVC pipes. The angles are 90 degrees (not two 45 degree bends) and the indoor cleanouts have not been opened since 1955!!Since the pandemic, we use our kitchen a lot. The kitchen drain drops down to the basement, goes 90 degrees outside, then an immediate additional 90 degree turn to travel towards the main line sewer. This is not code today but was when the house was built. As time marches on, the useful inside size of the waste pipe gets smaller due to corrosion- this reduces the flow rate. That means it is tougher to make root-killing chemicals do their job, as well as move boiling water (after just cooking pasta) down the pipe. Every now and then, we get a slow drain....I dont wait for it to become stopped- when I hear the kitchen sink gurgling when I am doing laundry- it is time to act.I emailed The Scottish Plumber and stated it was not an emergency, but I would like someone to stop out in the next few days. I received a response phone call within three minutes confirming some details of the problem. We made an appointment for 2.5 days later, and then I received a text message confirming. I scheduled for their $99 open the drain service as I had an easily accessible outside cleanout right next to a power outlet right along the driveway. We scheduled a two hour window on when I should be home.The morning before our appointment, The Scottish Plumber called and texted stating that a technician was in the area on another call, will be finishing early, and would I like to do the service later this morning or just stick with the next day. Since I was home, I said Yes, stop by today, please..Tom showed up one hour later at exactly 10:00 am. By 10:02 am he had the cleanout opened up, was asking me to turn on the water to the bathtub, and confirming that the drain flow was slow. By 10:10 am, he had his sewer rod machine working to clear the obstruction. He even pulled out a couple of small tree roots. By 10:15, water flow was fully restored.I went in to turn off the bathtub- when I came out he had already stored his tools back in his truck. He then gave me sound advice about dealing with that inefficient waste pipe- in my case, he suggested filling up the sink every couple of weeks and then pulling the plug- the sudden 15 gallons of water rushing down would keep the pipes working.Tom left our driveway at 10:23 am. Literally, the man arrived, solved the problem, gave me wisdom, and left 23 minutes later.I am keeping his card and already put it in my phones calendar to call The Scottish Plumber next year (same week) to grind up tree roots.My previous experience was with the ABC plumbing company that advertises on television. They have shiny trucks, nice equipment, etc. but their solution was for us to spend $14,000 dollars for a new PVC waste drain from our house to the Villages sewer line. So I am pulling the plug on those guys.Ill stick with The Scottish Plumber.

    These guys just did a lot of work for us inside and outside. They stuck to the estimate without trying to push further add-ons. They were clean and professional and did excellent work. They finished the job in a very short amount of time and made an adjustment I asked for promptly. This could have been a nightmare, but it wasn’t. I am very pleased.

    We have used The Scottish Plumber for many repairs both big and small and have been very happy with their service. Colin in particular has always been professional and helpful, and sometimes creative in solving a problem. Highly recommend!

  • Review 163 (2022-08-26 - Rating: 5)

    Colin did a great job! He knew exactly what needed done, and it only took him a few minutes to fix our loose faucet. He said it wasn’t worth the paperwork & the ink just remember him next time. We certainly will. You can guarantee we’ll call The Scottish Plumber & request Colin the next time we need services.

    We have used to Scottish Plumber several times and their techs are always great. This time three guys came out to hydro jet our sewer line and scope it. Jeremy, Adam and Joey did the job well, efficiently and knowledgeably. They did it for a fair price and we’re clean and courteous. They also offered remedies for future problems. We are pleased.

  • Review 165 (2022-10-28 - Rating: 5)

    We called Scottish Plumber because everywhere else kept giving us different answers and quoting us thousands of dollars for a fix they werent sure of. Colin from Scottish Plumber listened to us and kept testing out our bathrooms until he found the source of our leaks. He was honest and kind and really did his best to make sure we felt like both bathrooms were tested thoroughly. I will only be working with Scottish Plumber going forward. We just wanted an honest answer about how to fix our home, and Colin did that for us.

  • Review 166 (2023-01-25 - Rating: 5)

    We had called The Scottish Plumber with multiple plumbing issues that we wanted addressed, they had sent a gentleman named Colin, who arrived at a timely manor & after going over our issues he explained in detail what needed to be done, he was even equipped with the tools needed to have the most of the work done at that moment. Colin was respectful, efficient & effective. We will definitely be using Scottish Plumber in the future!!

  • Review 167 (2022-02-17 - Rating: 5)

    Frank the tech was on time, polite and very knowledgeable! I myself have been involved with rehabbing 100 year-old buildings for 33 years, and I am not usually easily impressed--Frank really impressed me! He explained all the features and benefits of the hydro jetting process as it relates to my 102-year-old clay tile and cast iron sewer and kitchen drainage systems. He left me with a reasonably-priced estimate. I have had some great experiences with Scottish Plumber over the past few years--Frank certainly carried on the high level of professional service that I have come to expect from Scottish Plumber!

    I had excellent customer service from the beginning of making the appointment to having the work done! I was very pleased with the company contacting me and staying on top of the appointment. My Tech Troy was absolutely exceptional! He was very knowledgeable and helpful in making me understand what needed to be done. He went over and beyond to make sure everything was rodded properly because I had some complex roots but he gave me a 30 day warranty to come back if additional rodding needed to be done within that time frame. I am truly a satisfied customer and recommend this company and Troy for their excellent ans exceptional service. Thank you again for everything!

    At about 6:30 in the evening I had my toilet and bathroom sink backing up into my bathtub. Called three different places the Scottish plumber was the only one that was willing to come out that evening. I only have one bathroom.Matt and Frankie did an outstanding job they were able to get to my house within in a couple of hours of me calling, and work for about 3 hours plus to get my main line opened up. They did a good job they were professional and they cleaned up before they left.I would not hesitate to call the Scottish plumber again thank you Matt and Frankie for a great job you guys are the best.

    We had an emergency basement floor drain backup. On recommendation from our son (as we are new residents to the area), we called the Scottish plumbers. While we did have to wait a few days for them, we had some use of our water. The thing that most impressed us was that after two visits they could not find the blockage but we were NOT charged for those calls. The situation was rectified on the third visit led by Jeremy as the technician. He and the rest of the crew were diligent and honest .Thank You!B & D, Westchester

  • Review 172 (2023-03-13 - Rating: 5)

    We called The Scottish Plumber on Saturday when we noticed our kitchen sinks backing up; the Company was able to schedule a Drain Tech for Monday between 8-10 am. Alex, a Drain Technician, showed up Monday; professional, knowledgable and efficient. He fixed the problem in less than an hour. The only thing I would say, and I dont have a lot of experience in this area, the fee of $249 seemed kinda high. We thought about hiring a Handy Man to handle this problem, which would have cost probably 50% less, but we thought it made more sense to go with experts. So I give high marks across the board, except for the cost.

    We moved into a new place where we instantly encountered some headache inducing plumbing issues. Colin came by and gave us a free estimate and then later came by to fix the issue. He was great! He explained everything to us including why he thought hed be ripping us off to do additional work that had been recommended to us by another plumber. In addition to the work that he came out to do he also quickly sealed up a leak that was left by a previous plumber free of charge! The price was definitely fair and we would highly recommend the Scottish Plumber to others!

    Jonathan rodded a slow draining line in our 100+ year old house and provided us with his knowledge about why the issue occurs. Thanks to this, he will be updating our old drain’s plumbing with a modern permanent solution that will prevent us from experiencing this again and again and saving us money and headaches.

  • Review 175 (2023-01-05 - Rating: 5)

    On the day before the holiday, we had a leak in our pipe that flooded the house. When we shut the main line to the house off, it broke and we were not able to turn the water back on after the pipe was repaired.Colin the plumber came to our house and realized he didnt have the parts needed to do the repair and all of the plumbing suppliers were closed already. He came up with a creative solution that only an experienced plumber could have come up with. I fear most plumbers would have said they dont have the part and would have left us with no water for the holiday.I am so impressed by his desire to help and his creative thinking.He was able to get our water turned back on. I would have paid any amount to get this done, but their pricing was totally fair, especially considering it was an emergency call.I will only use them in the future.

    Hard to know where to start about how happy I am with the service I received from The Scottish Plumber. Service was prompt, professional, solved my issue and cost less than half of what I expected. Troy was the tech that serviced my job. He did a great job. It was the first time I have used Scottish Plumber, but it sure wont be the last.

  • Review 177 (2020-02-11 - Rating: 4)

    Weve used The Scottish Plumber twice now. They are very prompt to respond and provide usefully information. They will tell you up front if there is a better way to handle a situation rather than come out, charge you a service fee and not be able to help you at that time. They are honest and you never feel like they sell you on more than what you need. They are a little more expensive than some other places but you pay for quality and honesty. They were efficient with their time, friendly, and cleaned up completely when finished. Greg and Chris were great. Ill use them again.

    Excellent company!! I had them out before & they were on time & their service was great. They were the company that installed the hot water heater (Bradford Defender) some 10 years back & called them in the morning to set up appt. & they were out on time in the afternoon. Replacing the hot water heater same day & the service performed by Chris was excellent. Mask, shoe protection & very professional in at the detail. Very informative & educated in his profession. Trustworthy & stands behind their word.

    I had a sewer line back-up yesterday and opted for the after hours service so it could be taken care of ASAP. My sewer line has given me problems over the years mainly because of big trees near line. Adam , the Tech was able to get their near dusk , very professional ,and after working from both ends of line through clean-outs eventually located the problem and cleared out the roots. I applaud his diligence and after several hours working in the dark solved my issue. Scottish Plumber has been my go to service for Last 5 years after 20 plus years of dealing with others. They have been able to get to the root of the Problem after working at it where other companies have wanted to replace the line at great cost or not been able to solve issues. Thanks again from a satisfied Glen Ellyn home owner.

  • Review 182 (2020-04-14 - Rating: 5)

    After noticing a small leak from my water heater, I started calling around to plumbers. The Scottish Plumber were able to come out same day and provide a quote that was competitive with the others I had received. I appreciated how straight forward Greg was in identifying additional work that needed to be done and we talked through all my questions before finalizing the quote and moving forward with the job. Greg then jumped into action, ran to pick up a water heater from the plumbing supply warehouse and I had a new unit installed within two hours. Very professional, quick and clean service. Will definitely use them again.

    I hired The Scottish Plumber for a large sewer repair in my front yard. Chuck and Frankie spent a lot of time diagnosing the problem and explaining exactly what they were going to do to fix it. They obtained a permit later the same day, and work started promptly. The workers, Fernando, Malik, and Hugo in particular, were great! They dug some 10 feet into the ground through tree roots and in hot weather, and again explained what they were doing at every step. (They put on booties over their shoes every time they went into the house. I know its a small gesture, but I was so pleased with this.) The work was completed over 3 days, including inspection by the village. (And, I now have an access pipe for future cleaning and maintenance.) The crew also took care of a few other miscellaneous repairs inside our home and made some suggestions for future improvements. I spoke to both Jessica and Amy over the phone and I was very pleased with their professionalism, as well.
