West Lawn

West Lawn is a Southwest Side neighborhood anchored by the broad green space of Marquette Park along 63rd Street — a community of bungalows and two-flats that has housed successive waves of Chicago working families, from Eastern European immigrants in the early 20th century to the predominantly Mexican-American community that calls it home today. The park gives the neighborhood room to breathe, and the 63rd Street and Kedzie commercial strips keep it supplied.


The residential housing in West Lawn is predominantly from the 1920s and ’30s — solidly built, densely arranged, and carrying the plumbing of that era. Galvanized steel supply lines that have been narrowing with interior corrosion for decades, clay sewer laterals with root intrusion from Marquette Park’s extensive tree canopy, and water heaters long past their expected service life are typical findings. The Scottish Plumber handles it with a sewer camera inspection first, then drain cleaning, trenchless repair, repiping, and water heater service — no guesswork, no shortcuts.


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.
