Harwood Heights

Harwood Heights is a small, densely developed Cook County village tucked in the northwest suburbs near O’Hare, with a residential character that closely mirrors Chicago’s own bungalow belt on the other side of the expressway. The homes here are compact, brick, and built to last — and many were constructed in the 1940s and ’50s, which puts them squarely in the era of galvanized steel supply pipes and cast iron drains that have been working hard for a very long time.

 

The Scottish Plumber is well-versed in the plumbing challenges of communities like Harwood Heights. Galvanized pipe replacement — including full repipe jobs where the original supply system has been overtaken by rust — is one of our most common services in this part of Cook County. We follow every repipe with proper pressure testing and make sure new copper lines are run with the attention to detail that older homes require. We also carry out sewer camera inspections, drain cleaning, and overhead flood control installations for basements in this low-lying area that have dealt with water intrusion.

 

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.
