Oak Lawn

Oak Lawn is one of the largest and most established south Cook County suburbs — a dense community of bungalows, ranch homes, and two-flats that grew steadily through the mid-20th century along 95th Street and Southwest Highway. The housing stock here reflects that history: a significant portion of Oak Lawn’s residential properties were built between the 1920s and the 1960s, which puts galvanized supply lines, lead service connections, and clay tile sewer laterals firmly on the list of things that may be overdue for attention. The community’s proximity to the Chicago city limit makes it plumbing-wise very similar to Chicago’s own southwest side neighborhoods.


The Scottish Plumber handles Oak Lawn’s older residential stock with the familiarity that comes from working in communities like this throughout Cook County. Galvanized pipe replacement and lead service line removal are among our most frequent services here. We conduct sewer camera inspections to assess clay lateral conditions, carry out drain cleaning and sewer repair, and install overhead flood control systems for basements that have dealt with water intrusion during major storm events.


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.
