Park Ridge

Park Ridge is a well-regarded north Cook County suburb immediately west of O’Hare, with a genuine downtown along Uptown Circle, a strong community identity, and residential neighborhoods that span from late 19th-century Victorian homes and craftsman bungalows near the historic district to mid-century ranch houses throughout the rest of the village. The older sections carry lead service connections, galvanized supply lines, and clay tile sewer laterals that have been in service since Park Ridge was a quiet commuter town rather than an O’Hare-adjacent suburb. The newer sections have their own aging mechanical systems that are due for attention.


The Scottish Plumber serves Park Ridge’s full range of residential and commercial properties. We replace lead service lines and galvanized supply pipes with proper permitting and care for historic interiors, conduct sewer camera inspections on clay laterals, handle drain cleaning and sewer repair, and install flood control systems for basements that have dealt with water intrusion in this low-lying area near the Des Plaines River. We also service water heaters and sump systems.


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.
