Flossmoor is one of the south suburbs’ genuine gems — a tree-shaded commuter town that grew up around the Illinois Central rail line in the early 1900s, with older homes near the Metra station that have real character and real age to them. The historic neighborhoods closest to downtown Flossmoor and the Flossmoor Station Restaurant & Brewery include homes from the 1910s through the 1940s where galvanized supply lines and cast iron drain stacks are still in service, doing their best to keep up with modern household demands.
The Scottish Plumber has the experience and the equipment to handle Flossmoor’s older housing stock properly. A sewer camera inspection is always our starting point for a home with unresolved drainage issues — it tells us what’s actually in the pipe before we commit to a course of action. When the lateral needs clearing, our drain cleaning service handles root intrusion and scale effectively. When the line is damaged, we offer trenchless repair options that preserve mature landscaping. We also install water heaters and maintain sump systems year-round.
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.
