Ukrainian Village

Ukrainian Village is one of Chicago’s best-preserved residential neighborhoods — a West Side community where the late 19th and early 20th-century two-flats and workmen’s cottages along Division Street and the surrounding blocks have been maintained with a care that stands out even by Chicago standards. The Ukrainian Institute of Modern Art anchors the neighborhood’s cultural identity, and the architecture of the housing stock does the rest. These are handsome, dense, historic blocks.


That handsome historic housing comes with the plumbing its era produced. The two-flats and cottages here date largely from the 1890s through the 1920s, which means lead supply lines in many of the oldest properties, galvanized steel in those updated through the mid-20th century, and clay sewer laterals that Division Street’s mature trees have been investigating for over a century. A sewer camera inspection is always our first step. From there, we handle drain cleaning, trenchless repair, lead pipe removal, and water heater service — with proper respect for the buildings themselves.


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.
