Park Forest

Park Forest holds a notable place in American urban planning history — one of the first fully planned post-war suburban communities in the United States, developed in the late 1940s and early 1950s as a model of what suburban life could be. That vision produced well-designed homes, generous green spaces, and a community that has aged with genuine character. It also produced a cohort of plumbing systems that are now approaching or exceeding seventy-five years of service, which means galvanized supply lines, cast iron drains, and clay tile sewer laterals are all due for the kind of honest evaluation that Park Forest’s founders probably didn’t plan for — but would have approved of.


The Scottish Plumber handles Park Forest’s older residential stock with the care it deserves. Galvanized pipe replacement is one of our most common services in communities of this vintage, and we carry it out thoroughly. We conduct sewer camera inspections on clay laterals to identify root intrusion and structural issues, handle drain cleaning and sewer repair, and install flood control systems for basements that have dealt with water. We also service water heaters and sump systems throughout the village.


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.
