Palos Heights

Palos Heights is one of the more naturally beautiful communities in south Cook County — a wooded suburb bordering the Palos Forest Preserves, with residential streets shaded by a mature tree canopy that makes the village genuinely appealing and simultaneously ensures that sewer lateral root intrusion is a reliable, year-round conversation topic. Homes here range from mid-century ranches and split-levels to more recent construction, and the older sections carry the galvanized supply lines and clay tile sewer laterals that come standard with that era of building.


The Scottish Plumber serves Palos Heights with full residential plumbing capabilities. We conduct sewer camera inspections to establish what the trees have been doing to the lateral before recommending any work, handle drain cleaning and root clearing when that resolves the issue, and offer trenchless repair options that protect mature landscaping when the line needs structural work. We also replace galvanized supply lines, service water heaters, and install sump systems with battery backup for Cook County basements that benefit from the extra protection.


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.
