Canaryville

Canaryville is one of Chicago’s oldest residential neighborhoods — a tightly packed South Side community near 47th and Halsted whose origins run deep into the 19th century, tied historically to the Union Stock Yards that once defined this part of the city. The streets here are lined with workers’ cottages, two-flats, and bungalows that span well over a century of construction, with some of the oldest housing stock in all of Chicago.


In homes this old, “plumbing issues” can be an understatement. We’ve found lead supply lines, galvanized steel that has all but closed shut with corrosion, original clay tile sewers, and cast iron drain stacks that have been working faithfully since before the automobile. We treat all of it with a proper assessment — starting with a sewer video inspection — before touching anything. Then we fix what actually needs fixing: drain cleaning, trenchless liner, lead pipe removal, or full repiping. Canaryville’s homes have lasted this long — they deserve to be done right.


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.
