Logan Square

Logan Square is built around one of Chicago’s finest urban design gestures — the intersection of Milwaukee, Logan, and Kedzie Boulevards, where the city’s historic boulevard system delivers wide, tree-canopied streets lined with greystones and two-flats that are among the most sought-after residential properties on the Northwest Side. The neighborhood has evolved considerably over the past two decades, but its bones — those late 19th and early 20th-century buildings — remain very much intact.


And those bones, beautiful as they are, have plumbing that reflects their age. The boulevard trees that make Logan Square so desirable also make sewer lateral root intrusion essentially inevitable in the clay tile lines running beneath them — a sewer camera inspection almost always finds something worth addressing. Cast iron drain stacks in the older greystones have served admirably but aren’t indefinitely durable. Lead supply lines remain in some of the oldest properties. We handle it all — drain cleaning, trenchless repair, sewer gas issues, repiping, and water heater service — properly and without drama.


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.
