North Park sits on Chicago’s far North Side near Foster Avenue and Pulaski — a neighborhood with Swedish-American roots, anchored by North Park University, and characterized by the kind of quiet residential density that defines the best of Chicago’s bungalow belt. The streets here are well-established and well-kept, with a housing stock that reflects the area’s development in the 1920s and ’30s. It’s a neighborhood that doesn’t demand attention but rewards it.
Those 1920s and ’30s bungalows carry the plumbing of their era: galvanized steel supply lines narrowed by decades of corrosion, clay tile sewer laterals that North Park’s established parkway trees have had ample time to infiltrate, and cast iron drains that have performed admirably but aren’t ageless. Our sewer camera inspection service takes the uncertainty out of what’s happening in the lines. We then handle drain cleaning, trenchless sewer repair, repiping, and water heater service throughout North Park — without drama, without delays.
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.
