Northlake is a northwest Cook County suburb near O’Hare with a mix of residential neighborhoods and significant industrial and commercial development along Wolf Road and the freight rail corridors. The residential side of Northlake includes older bungalows and ranch homes from the post-war decades, where galvanized supply lines and cast iron drains have been in service long enough to start making their presence known. The commercial side — warehouses, manufacturing, distribution — has its own set of drain and plumbing maintenance needs that require a different kind of expertise.
The Scottish Plumber handles both. For Northlake homeowners, we conduct sewer camera inspections, carry out drain cleaning and sewer repair, replace aging galvanized supply lines, and service water heaters and sump systems. For commercial and light industrial properties, we provide drain maintenance, grease trap service, and commercial plumbing solutions that keep operations running. No job is too routine or too involved.
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.
