Grand Crossing

Grand Crossing sits on Chicago’s South Side around 71st Street and Cottage Grove — a residential neighborhood of bungalows and two-flats that has housed working families for generations. It’s not a neighborhood that tends to make headlines, which is rather the point: it’s a place where people live, maintain their homes, and get on with things. The housing stock is predominantly from the 1920s and ’30s, solidly built and continuously occupied.


That vintage means galvanized supply lines that have been narrowing with corrosion for decades, and clay tile sewer laterals that have seen their share of root intrusion from Stony Island Avenue’s mature tree canopy. Neither problem is dramatic until it becomes one — which is why we recommend a sewer camera inspection before a slow drain turns into a basement backup. The Scottish Plumber handles drain cleaning, repiping, trenchless sewer repair, flood control, and water heater service throughout Grand Crossing.


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.
