South Deering

South Deering occupies Chicago’s far Southeast Side near Torrence Avenue and the Calumet industrial corridor — a neighborhood where residential streets sit alongside one of the most industrially active landscapes in the Midwest. The former Interlake Steel site and the surrounding industrial land use have defined the neighborhood’s character for generations, alongside a residential community of older bungalows and homes that housed the workers who kept those mills running.


The combination of older residential construction and proximity to the Calumet River corridor makes South Deering a neighborhood where both residential and commercial/industrial plumbing demands coexist. For homeowners, galvanized supply lines, aging sewer laterals, and flood control for properties near the low-lying river areas are the primary concerns. A sewer camera inspection and our drain cleaning service address the most common issues. We also handle commercial and light industrial plumbing and water heater service throughout the area.


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.
