A Local Legacy: Family Rooter Plumbing and Sewer IL
Founded in 2019, Family Rooter Plumbing and Sewer IL is a family-owned and operated business built on the values of honesty and hard work. Our owner, Samantha and her Husband Tim, entered the plumbing industry in 2016 and quickly saw the need for a more reliable, customer-focused approach to emergency plumbing, sewer, and waterproofing in our community.
We started this company with a commitment to providing affordable plumbing services without compromising on quality. Today, we use professional-grade Milwaukee and Ridgid tools to serve neighbors across Lake and McHenry County, ensuring every job—from clearing a simple drain to complex basement waterproofing—is handled with expert care.
Service You Can Count On, 24 Hours a Day
“Because we are family-owned, our reputation is on the line with every service call. Whether you are in Barrington, Crystal Lake, or right here in Fox Lake, you can expect affordable plumbing services without the ‘big box’ franchise runaround. Our history is built on the word-of-mouth recommendations of our neighbors, and we look forward to earning your trust as your preferred local plumber.”
