Rogers Park

Rogers Park is Chicago’s most diverse neighborhood by nearly every measure — a far North Side lakefront community anchored by Loyola University, with a Howard Street commercial strip, a stretch of lakefront beaches that few people outside the neighborhood seem to know about, and an astonishing variety of people, languages, and cultures packed into its apartment buildings and two-flats. It’s a neighborhood that has always absorbed newcomers and made room for everyone, which is part of what makes it worth fighting for.


The older apartment buildings and courtyard complexes that define much of Rogers Park’s housing stock date from the 1910s through the 1930s, and their shared plumbing systems carry the years. Cast iron drain stacks serving multiple floors, clay sewer laterals under the parkway trees, and supply lines that have been in service for most of a century are standard findings in a sewer camera inspection. We handle drain cleaning, trenchless sewer repair, multi-unit building plumbing, and water heater service throughout Rogers Park.


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.
