Cicero

Cicero is one of the most densely populated municipalities in Illinois, a tight grid of brick two-flats, storefronts, and bungalows that tells the story of a century of working-class Chicago suburban life. The homes here were built to last — and many of them have — but the plumbing running through them is another matter. Lead service lines, galvanized supply pipes, and clay tile sewer mains from the early 1900s are all still in active service in parts of Cicero, quietly working against the residents who depend on them.


The Scottish Plumber has extensive experience with the older housing stock found throughout Cook County’s first-ring suburbs. We carry out sewer camera inspections to assess conditions without guesswork, followed by targeted drain cleaning or full sewer repair as needed. Lead service line replacement is a priority we take seriously. We also install overhead sewer and flood control systems that have made a real difference for Cicero basements that previously flooded every time the rain came sideways off the lake.


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.
