Plumbers in Mocksville, NC

The Davie County seat

Mocksville, incorporated in 1839, is the seat of Davie County and sits on I-40 about 22 miles west-southwest of downtown Winston-Salem in a straight line, with exits 168 and 170 serving town. US 64, US 601 and US 158 all pass through. The 2020 Census counted 5,900 residents, and ZIP 27028 reaches well beyond town into much of the county.

Town water from Hunting Creek

The Town of Mocksville Water and Sewer Department collects, treats and distributes water and wastewater, and serves some customers outside town limits at higher outside rates. Its own supply comes from Hunting Creek, treated at the Hugh A. Lagle plant. Because the creek's safe yield is limited, the Town also buys water from Davie County, and the two are jointly replacing the Cooleemee plant with a larger 3.5 MGD facility so the Lagle plant can be retired.

The Town's 2025 water report shows chlorine disinfection, no violations, and lead not detected at the 90th percentile in its 2023 sampling. A service line inventory is available on request. The Town has not published a formal backflow testing program that we could find, but its winter tips tell owners to insulate backflow assemblies so they don't freeze.

Two generations of houses

The median Mocksville home dates to 1986, yet about 44% were built before 1980 and roughly 28% went up between 2000 and 2009. Around the Downtown, North Main Street and Salisbury Street historic districts, expect older supply piping and cast-iron drains. In the newer subdivisions, most calls are about water heaters, fixtures and plastic supply lines.

Permits and gas

The Town contracts with Davie County for zoning, permitting and inspections, so plumbing work in Mocksville runs through the county office at 298 E Depot Street (336-753-6050) and its online portal. Davie County is in Piedmont Natural Gas territory, with availability varying by street. If you ever smell gas, leave the building and call 911 or Piedmont at 800-752-7504 once you're outside.

How it compares with Winston-Salem

In Winston-Salem, water and sewer come from Winston-Salem/Forsyth County Utilities and permits from the City-County Inspections Division. In Mocksville, the Town is your utility and the county is your permit office. Customers outside town limits may be on Town water, Davie County water or a private well, so it's worth checking a bill before a plumber arrives.

When you call

Say whether you're inside town limits, what the problem is, and whether you've shut off the water at the meter or the main valve. You'll be connected with an independent plumber who covers Mocksville, and you set the visit and pricing with that plumber.
