Bridgeport

Bridgeport is one of Chicago’s oldest neighborhoods, and it carries that history on its sleeve — and in its walls. The streets around 35th and Halsted, in the shadow of Guaranteed Rate Field, are lined with two-flats and cottages that predate the 20th century entirely. This is a neighborhood where “old pipes” isn’t a generalization; it’s a near-certainty. Lead supply lines, original cast iron drains, and clay tile sewers that have been in the ground since Grover Cleveland’s presidency are genuine findings on a Bridgeport service call.


The Scottish Plumber handles Bridgeport’s vintage plumbing with the respect — and the realism — it deserves. We start with a sewer camera inspection to assess the actual condition of the line, then recommend whatever the home actually needs: drain cleaning, a trenchless liner, lead pipe removal, or a complete repipe. We also check for sewer gas issues, which older systems in dense neighborhoods can develop quietly over time.


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.
