Montclare

Montclare occupies Chicago’s far Northwest Side near Harlem Avenue and Grand Avenue — a quiet, thoroughly residential neighborhood with a suburban character that makes its city address feel almost incidental. The bungalows and single-family homes here are neatly kept, owner-occupied, and built largely in the 1920s and ’30s, reflecting the era when Chicago’s Northwest Side was filling in rapidly with working-class families putting down permanent roots.


Those roots — both human and arboreal — have had decades to settle. And Montclare’s mature street trees have had equal time to explore the clay tile sewer laterals beneath the parkways, which is one of the most common findings when we run a sewer camera inspection in the neighborhood. Galvanized supply lines from the bungalow era are also a routine concern. The Scottish Plumber handles drain cleaning, trenchless sewer repair, full repiping, and water heater service throughout Montclare — reliably, without fuss.


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.
