Wauconda

Wauconda is a Lake County community centered around Bangs Lake — a place with a recreational character and a mix of older homes near the original downtown and the lakefront, as well as newer subdivision development in the surrounding areas. Like most Lake County communities near water, Wauconda’s high water table means sump pump reliability is a practical necessity rather than an optional upgrade, and the combination of clay soils and seasonal water fluctuation makes basement water management a genuine year-round consideration for many homeowners.


The Scottish Plumber serves Wauconda with particular attention to the water management challenges common to lakeside Lake County communities. We install and service sump pumps with battery and water-powered backup systems, conduct sewer camera inspections for homes with drainage concerns, handle drain cleaning and sewer repair, and replace aging galvanized supply lines and water heaters throughout the area. For properties in lower-lying areas, flood control installations provide lasting peace of mind.


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.
