Norwood Park

Norwood Park is about as suburban as Chicago gets within city limits — a far Northwest Side neighborhood of single-family homes, curved streets, mature trees, and the kind of measured quiet that most Chicago neighborhoods gave up decades ago. Northwest Highway runs through, and the Metra station connects residents to downtown without much fuss. It’s a community of homeowners who take their properties seriously, and who have often been in the same house for a very long time.


Long-term ownership means well-maintained homes — and it also means plumbing that has been in service since the Eisenhower administration without necessarily being updated since. Galvanized supply lines, aging water heaters, and clay sewer laterals that Norwood Park’s magnificent tree canopy has been infiltrating for decades are the typical findings when we come out for a sewer camera inspection. The Scottish Plumber handles drain cleaning, trenchless sewer repair, full repiping, and water heater replacement — reliably and without fuss.


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.
