Andersonville

Andersonville has always known what it is — a neighborhood with genuine character, a strong sense of community, and a Clark Street corridor that manages to be both lively and livable. The Swedish American Museum anchors its heritage; the independent shops and restaurants do the rest. Beneath all that charm, though, the buildings tell an older story. Most of Andersonville’s housing stock dates from the 1900s through the 1930s, and the plumbing reflects that era faithfully.


In the multi-unit buildings that line the side streets, shared drain lines carry the combined burden of multiple households — which means a blockage isn’t just one tenant’s problem. Our drain cleaning and sewer rodding service handles exactly this, and a sewer camera inspection lets us pinpoint the issue without guesswork. For commercial properties on Clark, we handle grease traps, floor drains, and full plumbing maintenance. And for homeowners dealing with older supply lines or a water heater that’s well past its best years, we’re ready.


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.
