Blue Island

Blue Island is one of the south suburbs’ most historically distinctive communities — an elevated ridge community with a genuine small-city character, an active downtown along Western Avenue, and a housing stock that reflects its long history as an independent municipality. Many of Blue Island’s residential streets are lined with homes built from the 1890s through the 1930s, giving them some of the most interesting — and most demanding — plumbing in the south suburbs. Original clay tile sewer lines, galvanized and lead supply pipes, and cast iron drains that have been in continuous service for nearly a century are all common findings on service calls here.


The Scottish Plumber handles Blue Island’s older homes with the thoroughness they require. When a sewer backs up, we rod it open first; when the camera inspection reveals structural damage, we discuss repair options honestly — including pipe stent for targeted fixes and full trenchless lining for longer sections. For supply lines, we repipe with modern materials that will serve another generation. We also provide water heater replacement, flood control, and sump pump service for this community’s basements.


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.
