Maywood

Maywood is one of the older and more historically significant west suburban communities in Cook County — a dense grid of bungalows, two-flats, and brick two-stories that largely took shape in the first half of the 20th century. The village has a rich history and a resilient community, and its housing stock reflects that longevity: galvanized steel supply lines, lead service connections to the water main, cast iron drain stacks, and clay tile sewer laterals are all common findings in Maywood’s older homes. These are not defects — they are simply what 80-plus-year-old homes contain, and they all have a natural lifespan.


The Scottish Plumber handles Maywood’s older housing stock with the care and directness it deserves. Lead service line replacement is a priority we take seriously, and we carry it out with proper permitting and minimal disruption. Galvanized pipe repiping is among our most common services here. We also conduct sewer camera inspections, handle drain cleaning and sewer repair, and install overhead flood control systems for basements in the Des Plaines River area that have dealt with water intrusion.


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.
