Barrington

Barrington is one of the northwest suburbs’ most distinctive communities — a genuine small-town character anchored by a historic downtown, an active equestrian culture, and residential properties that range from historic homes near the village center to larger estate-style lots on the surrounding roads. The older homes near downtown and along the established residential streets date from the early 1900s through mid-century, carrying the plumbing legacy of their era: galvanized supply lines, clay tile sewer laterals, and cast iron drains that have been working continuously for decades.


The wooded, landscaped lots that give Barrington its character are the same ones that make conventional sewer excavation undesirable — mature trees, established gardens, and carefully maintained grounds that took decades to develop. When sewer repairs are needed here, trenchless methods are almost always the right call. Pipe stent repair in particular is well-suited to Barrington’s older homes — a targeted, minimally invasive fix that addresses the damaged section without disturbing anything above ground. We also handle sewer rodding and drain cleaning, full repiping, water heater service, and sump pump installation 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.
