Bellwood

Bellwood is a compact west suburban community where postwar bungalows and two-flats on modest lots reflect the character of mid-20th century Cook County development. Most of the housing stock here was built during the 1950s and 1960s — a period when galvanized steel supply lines and cast iron drain systems were standard, and when clay tile sewer laterals were laid in soil that has since been claimed by several generations of tree roots. That combination of aging pipe materials and root pressure is behind a significant share of the service calls we get in communities like Bellwood.


The Scottish Plumber handles the full range of plumbing needs in Bellwood’s older housing stock. Slow drains and sewer backups get rodded open first; a sewer camera inspection afterward shows whether root intrusion has compromised the pipe itself and whether trenchless repair is the right next step. For supply lines, we repipe with modern materials that will serve another generation of homeowners. We also handle water heater replacement, sump pump installation, and flood control work 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.
