Hegewisch

Hegewisch occupies Chicago’s far southeast corner — a neighborhood so near the Indiana border that residents have been known to debate which state they’re actually in on a given afternoon. Bounded by the Calumet River and surrounded by heavy industrial land use, Hegewisch has the feel of a place that exists apart from the rest of the city: self-contained, working-class, and quietly proud of it. The residential streets are lined with bungalows and older homes that have housed steelworkers and their families for generations.


The proximity to the Calumet industrial corridor means The Scottish Plumber handles both residential and commercial/industrial plumbing in Hegewisch — from aging bungalow supply lines to floor drains, process piping, and utility plumbing in the light industrial facilities nearby. For homeowners, galvanized pipes and aging clay sewer lines are the primary concerns; a sewer camera inspection and our drain cleaning service address both. Flood control near the river corridor is a genuine need here too.


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.
