Barrington Hills is unlike most Chicagoland suburbs — a low-density, estate-character community where five-acre minimum lot sizes, wooded terrain, horse properties, and carefully preserved rural character define the experience. Homes here range from historic structures that predate the village’s incorporation to mid-century construction and more recent builds, all set within landscapes that took generations to develop and that no homeowner wants disturbed by unnecessary excavation.
When sewer problems arise in Barrington Hills — and aging clay tile lines in the older properties mean they do — trenchless sewer repair is the only sensible approach for most properties. Pipe stent repair and full trenchless lining let us make lasting repairs without trenching through gardens, pastures, driveways, or the mature tree root systems that took decades to establish. The Scottish Plumber has extensive experience with exactly this kind of work in wooded estate communities throughout Chicagoland. We also handle sewer rodding, water heater replacement, sump pump service, and all residential plumbing needs 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.
