Lincoln Square

Lincoln Square holds its German heritage with a certain quiet pride — the Old Town School of Folk Music, Merz Apothecary, the Brauer Museum, and the annual Maifest and Oktoberfest that remind the neighborhood where it came from. The Western and Lawrence commercial corridor hums with independent businesses, and the residential blocks on either side are densely packed with bungalows, two-flats, and vintage courtyard buildings from the early 20th century.


That vintage housing means galvanized supply lines that have been corroding steadily since before many of the neighborhood’s current residents were born, and clay sewer laterals that the Lincoln Square’s substantial tree canopy has been probing with great dedication. The Scottish Plumber serves this neighborhood thoroughly: sewer camera inspection first, then drain cleaning, trenchless sewer repair, full repiping, and water heater installation as each situation warrants. We also handle commercial plumbing for the Western Avenue businesses.


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.
