Avondale

Avondale runs along Milwaukee Avenue with the quiet confidence of a neighborhood that’s always done honest work. The bungalows and two-flats here — many built in the 1910s and ’20s during the first great wave of Chicago’s Northwest Side expansion — are solid, unpretentious, and packed closely together. Avondale Park gives residents a proper bit of green space, and the Milwaukee corridor keeps the neighborhood connected to the rest of the city.


The plumbing in these homes has the same vintage as the buildings — which means galvanized supply lines that have been narrowing for decades, lead service lines in some of the older properties, and clay sewer lines that the neighborhood’s mature trees have been quietly exploring. We start with a sewer camera inspection to see the full picture, then handle whatever’s needed: rodding, trenchless lining, full repiping, or a straightforward water heater replacement. No drama, no upselling.


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.
