Homewood

Homewood is a well-regarded south Cook County suburb that grew up around the Illinois Central rail line — now the Metra Electric District — giving it a walkable downtown and older residential neighborhoods near the train station that have genuine character. The homes closest to the station date from the early 1900s through the 1940s, with the plumbing history to match: galvanized supply lines, cast iron drain stacks, and clay tile sewer laterals that have been dealing with Homewood’s mature tree canopy for a very long time. Further out, the post-war ranches and split-levels are reaching the age where their own systems deserve attention.


The Scottish Plumber serves Homewood’s full range of residential properties. We conduct sewer camera inspections to establish what’s happening in the lateral before recommending work, handle drain cleaning and root clearing or full sewer repair based on actual findings, and carry out galvanized pipe replacement when pressure and rust indicate the supply system has run its course. Water heater service and sump pump upgrades are also among our most frequent calls in the 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.
