Hazel Crest

Hazel Crest is a compact, well-organized south suburban community where modest bungalows and ranch homes on tidy streets reflect the character of postwar Cook County development. Most of the housing here was built during the 1950s and 1960s, when American suburbs expanded rapidly and plumbing standards centered on galvanized steel supply lines and cast iron drain systems — both of which are now at or well past the end of their intended service life in many homes.


The most common calls we get in communities like Hazel Crest are slow drains and sewer backups caused by root intrusion and decades of accumulation in aging cast iron lines, galvanized supply pipes with narrowed interiors and dropping water pressure, and water heaters that have simply run their course. We handle all of it: sewer rodding and drain cleaning starting at $99, sewer line repair including trenchless options when excavation isn’t the right answer, full repiping for galvanized supply lines, and water heater installation. We also install sump pump and battery backup systems for basements that have seen more water than they’d like.


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.
