North Barrington

North Barrington is one of Lake County’s most private and well-appointed communities — a low-density village of executive and estate homes set among rolling terrain, mature woodlands, and the ponds and lakes that characterize the Barrington Hills area. Properties here are generously sized, sewer runs are long, and the surrounding landscape — however beautiful — is relentless in its interest in the pipes running beneath it. In communities like North Barrington, thorough diagnosis before any repair work begins isn’t just good practice; it’s the only sensible approach.


The Scottish Plumber serves North Barrington’s residential properties with the precision that custom homes on wooded estate lots require. We conduct comprehensive sewer camera inspections on long lateral runs, offer trenchless lining and repair options that protect mature landscaping from excavation, and handle root clearing and drain cleaning when that’s what the camera confirms is needed. We also size and install high-capacity water heaters and design sump systems with proper backup for properties where Lake County’s water table is a genuine operational concern.


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.
