Frankfort has grown considerably over the past few decades, but it has managed to hold onto the character of its historic small-town core — the brick storefronts along Kansas Street, the old residential neighborhoods radiating outward, and the newer subdivisions that have expanded the community into the surrounding Will County farmland. That mix of old and new means a mix of plumbing ages: older homes in the original village with galvanized supply lines and clay tile sewers, and newer construction where the primary concerns are different — sump pump reliability, water heater age, and the occasional polybutylene pipe that slipped through during the 1980s build-out.
The Scottish Plumber serves all of Frankfort — from the historic blocks near the village center to the newer subdivisions on the edges. We handle sewer rodding and drain cleaning, trenchless sewer repair, water heater replacement, and sump pump installation and backup systems — the last of which matters quite a bit in a community that sits on flat Will County terrain where heavy rain has nowhere fast to go.
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.
