Vernon Hills

Vernon Hills is one of Lake County’s more deliberately planned communities — developed largely in the 1980s and ’90s around the Hawthorn Mall corridor, with a mix of residential subdivisions, corporate campuses, and retail development that gives the village a well-organized, contemporary feel. The homes from the earlier waves of development are now thirty to forty years old, which puts them squarely in the zone where water heaters are overdue, sump pumps are operating on optimism, and sewer laterals in the older sections have accumulated enough root intrusion to be worth a proper look.


The Scottish Plumber handles Vernon Hills’ plumbing needs efficiently. For homeowners, we conduct sewer camera inspections, replace aging water heaters, and install sump systems with battery backup sized correctly for Lake County’s high water table. We also handle drain cleaning, sewer repair, and polybutylene pipe replacement for homes where that material was installed during construction and has since decided to retire early and noisily.


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.
