Lake Barrington

Lake Barrington is an upscale Lake County community in the Barrington area — a wooded, low-density village of executive homes, gated communities, and custom construction set among the rolling terrain and lakes that make the far northwest suburbs genuinely beautiful. The combination of heavily wooded lots and longer sewer runs means root intrusion in lateral lines is a persistent concern, and the high water table common to Lake County makes a properly sized and backed-up sump system non-negotiable for most properties.


The Scottish Plumber serves Lake Barrington’s residential properties with the thoroughness that larger, custom homes require. We conduct sewer camera inspections on long lateral runs to identify root intrusion, offset joints, and structural issues accurately, offer trenchless repair and lining options that protect mature landscapes, and size and install high-capacity and tankless water heaters appropriate for larger homes. We also design sump systems with battery and water-powered backup to handle Lake County’s significant rainfall and water table conditions.


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.
