Mount Greenwood sits at Chicago’s far southwest corner with an identity that is emphatically its own — a tight-knit community with deep ties to the Chicago Police and Fire Departments, a neighborhood that takes considerable pride in its well-kept bungalows and single-family homes. Mount Greenwood Cemetery occupies a significant portion of the area, giving the neighborhood an unusual green and quiet character for a city address. The commercial strip on 111th Street serves as the neighborhood’s main street.
The residential housing here — predominantly bungalows and Cape Cods from the 1920s through the 1950s — carries the plumbing of its era. Galvanized steel supply lines that have been narrowing with interior corrosion for decades, clay sewer laterals with root intrusion, and water heaters that have long since exceeded any reasonable warranty are the typical findings. The Scottish Plumber handles it all: sewer camera inspection, drain cleaning, trenchless sewer repair, repiping, and water heater service — promptly and without unnecessary drama.
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.
