Our service radius from Lake in the Hills reaches all the way to Mundelein, IL. Ludwig Family Plumbing is a family-owned, licensed team that has served Mundelein and the rest of Lake County since 2016 — and when you call, you reach the same local plumbers who show up at your door, not a national dispatch center.
From urgent repairs to installations you've been putting off, we bring the same care to every Mundelein home — because in Lake County, our customers are our neighbors.
Plumbing Challenges in Mundelein
Lake County homes with clay soil and basement flooding. Mundelein runs on hard municipal water, and that hardness quietly scales water heaters and fixtures — so softeners and water-heater maintenance are steady work across town.
Mundelein's clay soil holds water against foundations long after a storm passes, so both sump protection and healthy drains matter more here than the dry-weather calm suggests.
We know the area well — from Diamond Lake, downtown Mundelein, Route 45/83, and the St. Mary of the Lake grounds — and we tailor every recommendation to the way homes are built and the way water behaves in Mundelein.

The Plumbing Jobs We Do Most in Mundelein
No two Mundelein homes are identical, but the calls cluster around a few predictable problems. Heavy spring storms and snowmelt push groundwater into Mundelein basements, so sump-pump installs, battery backups, and emergency water cleanup stay busy; older Mundelein sewer laterals catch roots and crack with the soil, so camera inspections and targeted repairs beat endless snaking; grease and buildup clog Mundelein kitchen and main lines, so drain cleaning and hydro jetting keep them flowing.
Across all of it, the standard holds: an honest diagnosis, a written price before non-emergency work expands, and a warranty behind the repair — the way a family plumber earns a Mundelein customer for the long haul.
Seasonal Plumbing in Mundelein
Mundelein's plumbing calendar is written by water. When the ground saturates and the storms line up, everything depends on a sump system sized for the peak, not the average — and on a battery backup for the outage that so often comes with the storm. Getting ahead of it before the season is a fraction of the cost of the cleanup after.

Yes — it's one of our most common calls in Mundelein. We install and repair sump pumps with battery backup, handle emergency water cleanup, and address the sewer and drainage issues behind recurring basement water.
We diagnose the problem first and give you a written price basis before any non-emergency work expands, so you know the cost before we start. The honest number depends on the job — access, parts, urgency, permits, and the diagnosis itself — and we never spring a surprise invoice on a Mundelein home.
In Mundelein, yes — our worst basement floods happen during the same storms that knock out power, and a primary pump runs on that power. A battery backup keeps pumping through the outage, and for finished basements we often add a water alarm or a second pump as another layer.
