Midlothian

Midlothian is a south Cook County suburb whose name, incidentally, is borrowed from a county in Scotland — which means The Scottish Plumber feels right at home here. The village developed primarily in the 1950s and ’60s, producing solid ranch homes and bungalows that have served their owners well for decades and are now entering the phase where the mechanical systems underneath deserve a proper look. Galvanized supply lines, aging water heaters, and sewer laterals that have accumulated root intrusion over thirty or forty years are the most common findings on service calls in Midlothian.


We handle all of it with the same straightforward approach. A sewer camera inspection gives a clear picture of lateral conditions before we commit to any recommendation. Drain cleaning resolves most blockages; sewer repair or trenchless lining handles structural damage. We replace galvanized supply lines properly, install new water heaters correctly sized for the home, and upgrade sump systems with battery backup for south suburban basements that take on water when Cook County’s clay soil decides it’s had enough rain.


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.
