Palos Hills

Palos Hills sits on the edge of the Palos Forest Preserves in south Cook County — a residential community where the natural landscape is genuinely close and the mature tree cover is extensive enough to make root intrusion in sewer laterals a standing agenda item for most homeowners who’ve lived here a while. The housing stock includes mid-century ranch homes and later construction, and the older sections carry galvanized supply lines and clay tile sewer laterals that have been in service long enough to warrant a proper look.


The Scottish Plumber handles Palos Hills’ residential plumbing with the precision these wooded-lot properties require. We use sewer camera inspections to understand what’s happening in the lateral before recommending any course of action, follow through with drain cleaning or sewer repair based on actual findings, and offer trenchless repair options that minimise disruption to established landscapes. We also replace aging galvanized supply lines, service water heaters, and maintain sump systems year-round.


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.
