Long Grove

Long Grove is one of Lake County’s most distinctive communities — a historic village with a charming covered bridge, a cluster of independent shops that draw visitors year-round, and residential properties set on generous wooded lots that give the area a genuinely rural feel despite its suburban location. The wooded character of Long Grove is wonderful for everything except sewer laterals, which the area’s abundant mature trees have had decades to explore and infiltrate. In a community where lots are large and sewer runs are long, a sewer camera inspection is the only reliable way to understand what’s actually happening underground.


The Scottish Plumber serves Long Grove’s residential properties with the care that custom homes on wooded lots require. We conduct thorough camera inspections, offer trenchless repair and lining options that protect established trees and landscaping, and handle root clearing and drain cleaning when that’s what’s warranted. We also install and service sump systems with battery backup and replace water heaters sized appropriately for larger homes.


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.
