Lyons is a small Cook County village at the confluence of the Des Plaines River and Salt Creek — a location with genuine historical significance as a portage point used for centuries before Chicago existed, and a practical significance today in that properties near both waterways have to take water management seriously. Lyons has a mix of older residential homes, commercial properties along Ogden Avenue, and industrial operations along the river corridors, all with plumbing needs that range from the straightforward to the genuinely complex.
The Scottish Plumber handles Lyons’ residential and commercial plumbing across the board. For homes in the older sections of town, we conduct sewer camera inspections, replace galvanized supply lines, and handle drain cleaning and sewer repair. For properties near the Des Plaines River floodplain, we install overhead sewer and flood control systems that make the difference between a dry basement and a recurring disaster. We also service water heaters and sump systems 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.
