Edgewater

Edgewater runs along the North lakefront between Andersonville and Rogers Park — a neighborhood of wide-fronted apartment buildings, vintage courtyard complexes, and some of the most handsome residential architecture on Chicago’s North Shore. The Broadway commercial corridor and Bryn Mawr Avenue anchor the neighborhood, and the lakefront park keeps it grounded. These are beautiful buildings. And beautiful buildings that date from 1910 to 1940 have plumbing that needs attention.


In Edgewater’s apartment buildings and multi-unit courtyard structures, shared drain systems serve multiple households — which means a clog in one unit often signals a problem for the whole stack. Our drain cleaning and sewer rodding service clears the immediate problem, and a sewer camera inspection tells us whether it’s isolated or structural. We also handle cast iron drain replacement, trenchless sewer repair, commercial plumbing for Broadway businesses, and water heater service for buildings of any size.


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.
