Calumet Heights

Calumet Heights sits on the Southeast Side with the composed confidence of a neighborhood that has always taken care of itself. Near 95th Street and Stony Island Avenue, the housing stock is overwhelmingly solid brick bungalows from the 1920s and ’30s — well-maintained, owner-occupied, and built with the same no-nonsense approach that defines the neighborhood’s character. Calumet Park provides a proper natural counterpoint to the residential streets.


Well-maintained homes still have plumbing that ages. Galvanized supply lines from that era are typically past their prime regardless of how carefully the home has been kept — rust doesn’t care about curb appeal. Tree roots from the neighborhood’s mature parkway trees have a long history with the clay tile sewer lines beneath them. We bring a sewer camera first, assess honestly, and recommend only what’s needed — whether that’s drain cleaning, a trenchless liner, or a new water heater.


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.
