Highland Park

Highland Park is one of the North Shore’s most storied communities — a lakeside city with a rich architectural heritage, a vibrant arts scene anchored by the Ravinia Festival, and residential streets that feature some of the most varied and impressive housing stock in the Chicago suburbs. The homes closest to the lake and the ravines include early 20th-century estates and craftsman houses where galvanized supply lines and cast iron drains have been in continuous service for generations. Even the newer sections of Highland Park are seeing their first wave of aging water heaters and sump systems.


The Scottish Plumber serves Highland Park’s residential and commercial properties with the care this community’s homes deserve. We carry out sewer camera inspections to assess lateral conditions in the ravine-adjacent neighborhoods where root intrusion is particularly aggressive, handle drain cleaning and trenchless sewer repair, and replace aging lead and galvanized supply lines properly. We also size and install high-efficiency water heaters and maintain sump systems appropriate for Lake County’s water table.


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.
