Oak Forest

Oak Forest is a south Cook County suburb with a mix of ranch homes and split-levels that developed primarily in the 1950s through the ’70s — solid, unpretentious houses on well-established lots, many of which have been in the same family for decades. That longevity is a sign of a community that people genuinely like living in. It also means the plumbing underneath those homes has been in service for thirty to seventy years, and the most common issues — galvanized supply line rust, sewer lateral root intrusion, water heaters past their prime — are exactly what you’d expect given that timeline.


The Scottish Plumber handles Oak Forest’s residential plumbing efficiently and honestly. We start with a sewer camera inspection when the situation calls for one, carry out drain cleaning and sewer repair based on what we actually find, and replace galvanized supply lines properly when rust and pressure loss make the case for it. We also install new water heaters and maintain sump systems with battery backup for Cook County 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.
