West Town

West Town is a broad North/West Side neighborhood that encompasses some of Chicago’s most sought-after residential real estate — including Wicker Park, Ukrainian Village, and the stretches of Chicago Avenue and Milwaukee Avenue that have become some of the city’s most active commercial corridors. The architecture ranges from 1880s workers’ cottages to handsome greystones to mid-century two-flats, reflecting the neighborhood’s layered history of immigration, industry, and reinvention.


That architectural range means an equally wide range of plumbing situations. The oldest buildings carry lead supply lines and original clay tile sewers; the mid-century construction has galvanized steel and early cast iron; and the newer renovations often have updated finishes over original infrastructure. A sewer camera inspection is the most reliable way to understand what you’re actually working with. The Scottish Plumber handles drain cleaning, trenchless sewer repair, lead pipe removal, repiping, sewer gas issues, and water heater service throughout West Town.


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.
