Avalon Park

Avalon Park is the kind of South Side neighborhood that takes quiet pride in its well-kept bungalows and neatly maintained blocks — the sort of place where people actually know their neighbors and take care of their homes. Near Stony Island Avenue and 87th Street, the housing stock is predominantly solid brick bungalows and two-flats built in the 1920s and ’30s, and the park itself is a genuine neighborhood anchor.


That vintage construction is a point of pride — and a prompt for regular plumbing attention. Galvanized steel supply pipes from that era have a long history of narrowing with corrosion until the water pressure drops noticeably. A sewer video inspection on a home this age often reveals clay tile lines with root intrusion that no one knew about. The Scottish Plumber handles it all — drain cleaning, full repiping, trenchless sewer repair, water heater installation — honestly and thoroughly.


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.
