Riverwoods

Riverwoods is one of Lake County’s most private and naturally beautiful communities — a low-density village of custom estate homes set along the Des Plaines River and surrounded by the wooded ravines and natural landscapes that define the North Shore’s inland character. Properties here are large, sewer runs are long, and the dense woodland setting that makes Riverwoods exceptional also ensures that root intrusion in lateral lines is an ongoing and entirely predictable challenge. In a community where excavating the lawn is not a casual undertaking, trenchless repair is not just an option — it is the right way to work.


The Scottish Plumber serves Riverwoods’ residential properties with the thoroughness that custom estate homes require. We conduct comprehensive sewer camera inspections on extended lateral runs, offer trenchless lining and repair that protects mature woodland landscapes, and handle root clearing when that resolves the problem. We also size and install high-capacity water heaters, design robust sump systems with backup for properties near the river corridor, and handle all general residential plumbing 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.
