A lake community of mid-century homes
Loch Lomond lies in Mundelein around Loch Lomond Lake, reached from Dunleer off Dunbar Road and Route 45. Subdivision data lists homes built between 1950 and 1985, and neighborhood data shows a median build year of 1962, mostly ranch and split-level designs.
One listing source notes that the lake was once privately owned and that Roscoe Homes began building U.S. Steel homes on the site in the mid-1950s. Homes from that period often have been remodeled several times, so the plumbing inside a given house can be a mix of old and new.
Do not assume what is behind your walls
House age alone does not tell us what pipe is inside. Previous owners may have replaced supply lines, water heaters or drains. We identify the material at your house by looking, not by assuming, and we tell you what we find before we suggest anything.
What we look at near the lake
Lake-oriented lots bring a few checks that inland streets do not need.
- Sump pump condition, float switch, check valve and discharge direction.
- Battery backup so the pump keeps running during a power outage.
- Floor drains in lower levels and whether they back up after heavy rain.
- Water heater age and drain pan in finished lower levels.
- Sewer lateral condition if drains slow on more than one fixture.

Local note
Listing data places Loch Lomond Lake's private beaches and shoreline areas for resident use, with HOA fees listed at roughly $24 to $31 per month. Ask your association what rules apply to work near the shoreline. Lake County has areas of high groundwater, so low lots near water deserve a sump check before the wet season.

Loch Lomond plumbing questions
Not always, but houses on low lots often benefit from one. We check the basement and the history of water before we recommend anything.
Many plumbers suggest testing it each spring by pouring water into the pit and watching it start and discharge. We can do this during a visit.
Not necessarily. Many houses have been partly repiped. We inspect your plumbing and report what is actually there.
We follow the rules you give us. Check with your board before work that affects shoreline or common areas.
