Lochmere At A Glance
Lochmere is a large neighborhood in east Cary, entered from Kildaire Farm Road. Hemlock Bluffs Nature Preserve sits across Kildaire Farm Road, and the semi-private Lochmere Golf Club is on that road as well. The community is built around two lakes, and a paved trail of about a mile runs around Loch Lomond.
Construction began in the mid-1980s and continued into the early 1990s, and the neighborhood has close to 2,000 homes. It is made up of many sections rather than one uniform subdivision. The Highlands has its own pool and clubhouse, Glen Echo has townhomes, and Williamsburg Commons has ranch and Cape Cod style homes.

Plumbing Points For A Neighborhood Of Many Sections
The points below are general plumbing information and do not describe any one section of Lochmere. A neighborhood with townhomes, ranch homes and larger houses will not have one typical plumbing job. A townhome owner and a lakefront homeowner can both call about a leak and need very different answers.
Townhome owners should find their main water shutoff ahead of time and ask the association what it covers. A plumber can find the source of a pipe leak inside a shared wall, but who pays for the repair depends on association documents. For a leak you cannot locate, leak detection is the place to start.
Homes built from the mid-1980s are now well past the typical life of a tank water heater, which is often given as eight to twelve years. Many have been replaced already, but if yours is the original or an unknown age, replacement may be worth pricing next to a repair. Tell the plumber the unit's age when you call.

Questions From Lochmere Homeowners
It is one large community made up of many sections. Neighborhood guides name sections such as The Highlands, Glen Echo and Williamsburg Commons. When you call, the street name or section helps confirm your address.
That depends on your association documents and where the leak starts. A plumber can locate the source, and you can then check with your association about responsibility.
Call with your street name and we will confirm whether it is covered. Lake proximity does not change how a leak or a drain problem is diagnosed.
Homes built from the mid-1980s have usually seen at least one replacement, but the only way to know is the age shown on your unit's label. Call with that age and what the unit is doing.
