Tinley Park is one of the south suburbs’ most complete communities — a large, well-established village with a genuine historic downtown along Oak Park Avenue, a thriving commercial corridor along 159th Street, and residential neighborhoods that span from Victorian-era homes near the Metra Rock Island District line all the way to newer subdivisions on the village’s expanding edges. Each era of construction brings its own plumbing profile: the oldest homes have lead and galvanized supply lines, mid-century homes have aging cast iron drains, and the ’80s and ’90s subdivisions are seeing their sump pumps and water heaters reach end of life.
The Scottish Plumber serves all of Tinley Park without oversimplifying. We conduct sewer camera inspections to give homeowners an accurate picture before any work is recommended, carry out drain cleaning and sewer repair based on what we actually find, and replace aging galvanized supply lines with proper copper. We install new water heaters correctly sized for the home and upgrade sump systems with battery backup for south suburban basements that benefit from the extra insurance.
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.
