Jefferson Park

Jefferson Park sits at one of Chicago’s great Northwest Side transportation crossroads — the intersection of Milwaukee Avenue, Lawrence Avenue, and Northwest Highway, where the Metra and Blue Line converge to make this neighborhood one of the city’s best-connected. It’s a community with a strong local identity, anchored by a busy commercial strip and surrounded by residential blocks of bungalows and two-flats that date largely from the 1910s through the 1940s.


Those bungalows carry the plumbing their era produced: galvanized steel supply lines that have been narrowing with corrosion for decades, and clay tile sewer laterals that Jefferson Park’s well-established street trees have been quietly infiltrating. The commercial corridor on Milwaukee brings its own demands — we handle restaurant drain cleaning, commercial water heater service, and grease trap maintenance alongside residential work. A sewer camera inspection is always our first step, followed by the right fix: drain cleaning, trenchless repair, or full repiping.


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.
