Commercial Plumbing in Lewisville, NC

How Lewisville is set up

Lewisville incorporated in 1991 and centers on Shallowford Square and the old Lewisville Roller Mill, with US 421, NC 452 and Lewisville-Clemmons Road as its main routes. Building ages run mostly from the 1970s through the 1990s; the median home dates to 1987 and about 35% predate 1980.

The Town has an agreement with the City-County Utilities Commission, which provides water and sewer. Extensions are usually paid for by developers or the Commission through assessments, and requests from outside town limits are pointed toward voluntary annexation. The Town's Rural Overlay allows package treatment plants built to Commission standards, so a property in a rural-zoned area may drain to a small package plant or a private onsite wastewater system rather than a gravity sewer main.

Permits come from the joint Winston-Salem/Forsyth County Inspections Division, which lists Lewisville among the towns it serves. Backflow assemblies fall under WSFC's cross-connection program.

Comparing common commercial calls

Signs to act on

• Two or more drains slowing down together
• Gurgling from floor drains when a toilet is flushed
• A meter that moves with every fixture off
• A water heater relief valve dripping, or rust and moisture at the base of the tank

Seasonal and timing notes

WSFC's testing vendor mails a reminder about 30 days before a backflow test is due, which leaves time to fix a failure if the test is booked early rather than on the last day. Outdoor assemblies and irrigation piping should be drained or insulated before freezing weather. For planned work such as a water heater swap, booking a few days ahead makes off-hours scheduling easier to arrange than it is in the middle of a breakdown.
