Franklin Park

Franklin Park is a northwest Cook County suburb that grew steadily through the post-war decades into a mix of residential bungalows, two-flats, and industrial and commercial properties along Grand Avenue and the freight rail corridors near O’Hare. The residential side of Franklin Park carries a familiar profile for homes of this era: galvanized supply lines installed when Truman was president, cast iron drain stacks that have done admirable service and are approaching their limits, and sewer laterals that deserve an inspection before the next big rain.


The Scottish Plumber serves both the residential neighborhoods and the commercial corridors of Franklin Park. For homeowners, we handle galvanized pipe replacement, sewer camera inspections, drain cleaning, and flood control installations for basements that have had enough of the North Branch watershed’s enthusiasm. For commercial properties, we provide grease trap service and full drain maintenance. Water heater replacement and sump system upgrades round out our most common calls in the area.


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.
