Pullman

Pullman is one of the most historically significant neighborhoods in the United States — a planned worker community built in the 1880s by industrialist George Pullman for the workers of his railroad car company, and now a National Monument. The greenstone row houses and workers’ cottages along 111th Street and Cottage Grove are among the most intact examples of 19th-century planned industrial housing in the country. The Hotel Florence, the Market Hall, the Greenstone Church — these are not merely old buildings; they are a preserved piece of American labor history.


And those 1880s buildings have 1880s plumbing infrastructure — or close enough to it that the distinction matters. Lead supply lines, original cast iron drain systems, and clay sewer laterals are genuine findings in Pullman’s historic homes. The Scottish Plumber approaches this neighborhood with particular care: a thorough sewer camera inspection, a respectful assessment, and only the work that’s actually needed — whether that’s drain cleaning, a trenchless liner, lead pipe removal, or a new water heater. These homes have lasted 140 years. They deserve to last another 140.


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.
