Melrose Park

Melrose Park is a dense, characterful west Cook County suburb with a strong Italian-American heritage, a vibrant restaurant scene along North Avenue and Lake Street, and residential blocks of solid brick bungalows and two-flats that date from the early to mid-20th century. That housing stock brings with it the full complement of vintage plumbing: galvanized steel supply lines that have been oxidizing since Harry Truman was making decisions, cast iron drain stacks carrying decades of buildup, and clay tile sewer laterals that the area’s mature trees have been quietly exploring for years.


The Scottish Plumber handles Melrose Park’s older residential stock with familiarity and precision. Galvanized pipe replacement — including full repipe jobs — is one of our most common services in communities with this building era. We conduct sewer camera inspections to assess lateral conditions before recommending work, carry out drain cleaning and sewer repair as needed, and install overhead flood control systems for basements in this area that have dealt with water intrusion. We also replace water heaters and service 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.
