West Chicago

West Chicago is one of DuPage County’s most historically significant communities — founded as a railroad junction town in the 1840s, it grew into a diverse working-class city with a distinctive industrial heritage and a residential core of older homes that reflect that history. The neighborhoods near the historic downtown and the Union Pacific rail corridors include houses from the late 19th and early 20th centuries where galvanized supply lines, lead service connections, and clay tile sewer laterals are still in active service. The West Branch DuPage River running through the area also means flooding is a practical concern for properties in the lower-lying sections.


The Scottish Plumber handles West Chicago’s older residential stock with the care it deserves. We conduct sewer camera inspections on aging laterals to identify root intrusion and structural issues before recommending work, carry out drain cleaning and sewer repair accurately, and replace lead and galvanized supply lines with proper permitting. For river-adjacent properties, we install flood control and overhead sewer systems that provide lasting protection. We also service water heaters and sump systems.


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.
