West Pullman sits on Chicago’s far South Side around 119th Street and Halsted — a predominantly residential neighborhood of older bungalows and two-flats that has housed South Side working families for generations. It shares its eastern neighbor Pullman’s position at the city’s southern edge, but has a quieter profile and a housing stock that reflects the neighborhood’s development in the 1920s and ’30s. It’s a community of homeowners who have taken care of their properties through changing times.
That care doesn’t protect a home’s plumbing from time. West Pullman’s bungalows carry galvanized steel supply lines that have been narrowing with interior corrosion for decades, and the clay tile sewer laterals beneath the neighborhood’s streets have had ample time to develop root intrusion from established parkway trees. The Scottish Plumber handles West Pullman the same way we handle every neighborhood: a sewer camera inspection first, then drain cleaning, trenchless sewer repair, repiping, and water heater service — done properly, without shortcuts.
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.
