Crestwood is a south Cook County suburb with a mix of post-war residential neighborhoods and commercial development along Cicero Avenue and Cal Sag Road. The homes here were largely built between the 1950s and the 1970s — a period that produced reliable, well-constructed houses alongside plumbing systems that are now reaching or exceeding their design life. Galvanized supply lines, aging water heaters, and sewer laterals with decades of root intrusion are the most common issues we encounter on service calls in Crestwood.
The Scottish Plumber takes a methodical approach. A sewer camera inspection shows us exactly what’s happening in the lateral so we can give an accurate recommendation rather than an optimistic guess. When drain cleaning resolves the issue, great. When the line needs repair or replacement, we carry out the work properly — including trenchless options that minimise disruption to the property. We also handle water heater replacement and flood control installations for basements in the Cal Sag watershed area that have seen their share of water.
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.
