Edison Park occupies Chicago’s far northwest corner with a composure that’s almost suburban — quiet residential streets, single-family bungalows, and a Metra station on the Milwaukee District North Line that connects the neighborhood to downtown without requiring a car. It’s one of Chicago’s most self-contained communities, with an unhurried character that belies its city address. The Milwaukee Avenue commercial strip and the neighborhood’s own parks round it out nicely.
The bungalows here — solidly built in the 1920s and ’30s — have the plumbing that comes with that vintage. Galvanized supply lines are a routine finding, and while Edison Park’s tree canopy is lovely, those parkway trees have had decades to explore the clay sewer laterals beneath the streets. The Scottish Plumber serves Edison Park with the same thoroughness we bring everywhere else: camera inspection first, drain cleaning or trenchless repair as needed, repiping when warranted, and water heater service throughout.
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.
