Tri-Taylor takes its name from the triangle formed by Taylor, Ashland, and Ogden Avenues on Chicago’s Near West Side — a compact neighborhood sitting in the orbit of Rush University Medical Center and the broader Near West medical district. The Taylor Street commercial corridor runs along the southern edge, and the residential blocks between the hospital campus and the commercial strips contain older two-flats and single-family homes that predate the neighborhood’s current medical identity by several decades.
Those older residential buildings — many from the early 1900s — carry the plumbing of their era: galvanized supply lines, cast iron drains, and clay tile sewer laterals that have been in service since the neighborhood was something entirely different. The proximity to the medical district also means commercial plumbing demands from clinics, offices, and support businesses in the area. The Scottish Plumber handles it all: sewer camera inspection, drain cleaning, trenchless sewer repair, repiping, and water heater service.
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.
