Little Village

Little Village — La Villita — is one of Chicago’s most economically active neighborhoods, home to 26th Street, the second-busiest retail corridor in Illinois. The ornamental arch at 26th and California marks the gateway to a community with a strong Mexican-American identity, a dense commercial strip, and residential streets packed with two-flats and worker’s cottages that date from the early 1900s. It’s a neighborhood that moves fast and takes care of its own.


The older housing stock along the residential streets carries the plumbing challenges common to early 20th-century Chicago construction: galvanized supply pipes narrowed by corrosion, lead service lines in some of the oldest properties, and clay sewer laterals that the neighborhood’s established trees have been exploring for generations. On the commercial side, 26th Street’s restaurants and food businesses generate significant grease buildup in drain lines — our commercial drain cleaning and sewer inspection services keep them flowing. We handle residential sewer repair and water heater service throughout.


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.
