Mount Prospect

Mount Prospect is one of the larger northwest Cook County suburbs — a well-rounded community with a genuine downtown along Main Street and Central Road, a range of housing from 1940s bungalows near the Metra Union Pacific Northwest line to newer construction on the village’s edges, and a large enough population that every plumbing scenario gets represented at least weekly. The older sections of Mount Prospect have the galvanized supply lines and clay tile sewer laterals that come standard with mid-century suburban construction, while homes from the ’70s and ’80s are fielding their own round of aging water heaters and sump pump retirements.


The Scottish Plumber covers Mount Prospect comprehensively. For older homes, we carry out sewer camera inspections, galvanized pipe replacement, drain cleaning, and flood control installations for basements that have experienced water intrusion during heavy north suburban rain events. For newer homes, we replace aging water heaters and upgrade sump systems with battery backup. Commercial properties along Rand Road and Elmhurst Road are also part of our regular service 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.
