Westchester is a small, compact Cook County suburb just west of Bellwood and Broadview — a tightly gridded community of mid-century bungalows and ranch homes that has much in common with the first-ring suburbs immediately surrounding it. The homes here were built primarily in the 1940s and ’50s, and the plumbing profile is correspondingly consistent: galvanized steel supply lines approaching the end of their usable life, cast iron drains with accumulated scale, and clay tile sewer laterals that the area’s established tree canopy has been gradually infiltrating for decades.
The Scottish Plumber handles Westchester’s residential plumbing with precision and no unnecessary drama. We conduct sewer camera inspections when chronic slow drains or backups suggest a lateral issue, carry out drain cleaning or full sewer repair based on actual conditions, and replace galvanized supply lines during a proper repipe. For basements in this part of the Des Plaines River watershed that have dealt with flooding, we install overhead flood control systems that make a genuine difference. 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.
