Worth

Worth is a small south Cook County suburb with a straightforward, unpretentious residential character — older ranch homes and bungalows on established streets that have been home to working families for decades. The housing stock here was built primarily in the 1950s and ’60s, which puts it firmly in the galvanized-pipe era. Those supply lines have spent a long time narrowing with rust and scale, and the clay tile sewer laterals running beneath Worth’s mature residential streets have had plenty of time to invite root intrusion. None of this is exceptional — it is simply what happens to well-built homes when they reach sixty or seventy years of age without a plumbing evaluation.

 

The Scottish Plumber handles Worth’s residential plumbing efficiently and without fanfare. We conduct sewer camera inspections to establish what’s actually happening in the lateral, follow through with drain cleaning or sewer repair based on findings rather than guesswork, and replace galvanized supply lines with copper during a proper repipe. We also install new water heaters correctly sized for the home and service sump systems with battery backup for south suburban basements that benefit from it.

 

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.
