Plumbers in Lewisville, NC

Where Lewisville is

Lewisville is a Forsyth County town incorporated in 1991, about 9 miles west-northwest of downtown Winston-Salem in a straight line and close to the Yadkin River. The 2020 Census counted 13,381 residents. US 421, NC 452 (part of the Northern Beltway), Shallowford Road, Lewisville-Clemmons Road and Lewisville-Vienna Road are the main routes, and the town center is built around Shallowford Square and the old Lewisville Roller Mill. Jack Warren Park and Joanie Moser Park are two of its parks.

Older houses than its neighbors

The median Lewisville home was built in 1987, and about 35% predate 1980. That is a noticeably older mix than Clemmons or Kernersville. In practice, more Lewisville calls involve original fixtures, worn valves and drain lines that have been in the ground for 40 years or more, alongside the usual water heater and toilet work in newer subdivisions.

Water and sewer depend on the address

The Town has an agreement with the City-County Utilities Commission, which provides water and sewer. Water extensions are normally paid by developers or by the utility with assessments, and requests from outside town limits have been steered toward voluntary annexation. On the sewer side, the utility covers part of the cost of pump stations and force mains, and the Town pays the rest.

Lewisville also has a Rural Overlay. Not every area under it is on public service, and the overlay allows small package treatment plants built to the utility's standards. Some rural-zoned homes are not on municipal sewer and instead use a private onsite wastewater system. If you are unsure which applies to your house, your utility bill is the quickest check.

Where homes are on public water, Winston-Salem/Forsyth County Utilities' 2025 report describes soft, chlorine-treated water from the Yadkin River and Salem Lake with no violations.

Permits and backflow

Lewisville is one of the towns the joint Winston-Salem/Forsyth County Inspections Division serves, so plumbing and water heater permits go through the same office used in Winston-Salem. Testable backflow assemblies on public water fall under the utility's cross-connection program, with yearly tests in most cases and a three-year cycle for qualifying residential irrigation.

Compared with Winston-Salem

Permits and the water utility are the same, but Lewisville has more rural edges and older homes. A plumber here may be dealing with the private line from the house to an onsite wastewater tank as often as with a city sewer lateral. Piedmont Natural Gas serves Forsyth County, though not every road has a main; if you smell gas, step outside before calling 911 or Piedmont. When you call the number on this page, mention whether you are on town sewer, and you will be connected with an independent plumber who works in Lewisville.
