Lake Bluff

Lake Bluff is a small, well-preserved North Shore village with a historic downtown, a genuine sense of community, and residential streets of older homes that have been well-cared-for over the decades. The village grew up as a summer resort community in the late 1800s, and several of the older homes nearest the lake and the bluff that gives the village its name still carry the plumbing that was installed when they were converted from seasonal to year-round use — which is to say, plumbing that deserves a proper look.


The Scottish Plumber serves Lake Bluff’s residential and light commercial properties with care and precision. We conduct sewer camera inspections to assess lateral conditions in the older sections of town, handle drain cleaning and root removal, and carry out galvanized and lead pipe replacement with minimal disruption to older homes’ finished interiors. We also install sump systems with battery backup and service and replace water heaters throughout the village.


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.
