Brighton Park

Brighton Park is a Southwest Side neighborhood that gets on with things without much fuss — bungalows and two-flats along Archer Avenue and Western, a community that’s shifted and adapted over the decades while keeping the same fundamental character. The housing stock here is predominantly from the 1910s through the 1940s: solidly built, well-occupied, and carrying plumbing that has quietly aged along with everything else.


Galvanized supply lines in Brighton Park bungalows have been narrowing with rust for decades, and many older properties still have lead service lines connecting to the water main. On the sewer side, the neighborhood’s mature street trees have had decades to explore the clay tile lines beneath the parkways — which makes sewer camera inspection a sensible first step before any drain problem becomes a basement backup. We handle drain cleaning, trenchless repair, repiping, and water heater service throughout Brighton Park.


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.
