Loop

The Loop is Chicago’s commercial and cultural engine — home to the elevated train tracks that gave the neighborhood its name, the Art Institute, Millennium Park, and some of the world’s most important early skyscrapers. The Rookery Building, the Monadnock, the Chicago Board of Trade — these are not just architectural landmarks, they are working buildings with plumbing systems that have been serving tenants through more history than most cities ever accumulate. The Loop is also home to a growing residential population, a dense restaurant scene, and no shortage of aging infrastructure behind polished lobbies.


The Scottish Plumber handles commercial, mixed-use, and residential plumbing throughout the Loop. For restaurants and food operations, commercial drain cleaning and grease trap service keeps kitchens compliant and operational. For older office buildings and historic structures, we perform sewer camera inspections, address sewer gas issues, and handle sewer repair with minimal disruption to building operations. For residential loft conversions and mixed-use buildings, we install water heaters, service fixtures, and manage the full range of plumbing needs. If it’s downtown and it needs a plumber, we’re the ones to call.


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.
