Call (831) 666-1222

Lewisville was known as Holford's Prairie until 1855, when landowner Basdeal Lewis renamed the settlement. The town didn't incorporate until 1925, and it grew quickly once the Army Corps of Engineers finished Lewisville Dam in 1955, creating the lake that now sits on the city's northern edge. A serious 1908 flood on the Trinity River, the same flood that put much of Dallas underwater, also reached Lewisville well before the dam was ever built.

Lewisville's older core near Old Town dates to the early-to-mid 1900s, while the neighborhoods closer to the lake and Vista Ridge Mall reflect the growth that followed the dam's completion, so plumbing age varies widely block to block. The Lewisville Feed Mill, once the city's longest continuously operating business before closing in 2011, is a good marker of just how long some of the Old Town infrastructure has been in place.

Water and Plumbing in Lewisville

Lewisville actually organized its own water company back in 1895, after a fire destroyed part of Main Street, and today draws from the same Elm Fork Trinity River system that feeds Lewisville Lake and, downstream, Carrollton. The dam that created that lake wasn't finished until 1955, so for sixty years the town's water supply and the river it now depends on looked nothing alike.

Services We Provide in Lewisville

Water Heater Repair & Installation

Lewisville's Old Town homes, some predating the 1925 incorporation, sit alongside newer construction near the lake, so a water heater call here often starts with figuring out which era of plumbing the house is actually running before diagnosing the tank.

Drain & Sewer Cleaning

Lewisville formed its own water company back in 1895 after a Main Street fire, and parts of the old downtown grid still carry sewer infrastructure that's older than what you'll find in most of Carrollton, which makes camera inspection a routine first step there.

Leak Detection & Repair

With the lake bordering so much of the city, some Lewisville properties have higher groundwater tables near the shoreline, which can make a slab leak's symptoms look a little different than they would further inland.

Getting Around Lewisville

Lewisville is anchored by Lewisville Lake, impounded between 1948 and 1955 and now ringed by more than 200 miles of shoreline, and we regularly take calls along I-35E, S.H. 121, FM 3040. We also serve Carrollton itself along with the other nearby suburbs in this part of North Texas.

Permits and Licensing for Plumbing Work in Lewisville

Lewisville plumbers are licensed under the same statewide TSBPE system as the rest of Texas. Larger jobs go through Lewisville's own permitting office, which is separate from Carrollton's.

Winter Pipe Protection in Lewisville

North Texas doesn't see hard freezes often, which is exactly why homes in Lewisville tend to be underprepared when one hits. Uninsulated exterior spigots and pipes running through unconditioned garages or attics near Lewisville Lake, impounded between 1948 and 1955 and now ringed by more than 200 miles of shoreline are the most common failure points during a cold snap.

Before a freeze warning in Lewisville

✓Disconnect and drain garden hoses, and cover outdoor spigots
✓Let faucets on exterior walls drip slightly during a hard freeze
✓Open cabinet doors under sinks on exterior walls so warm air reaches the pipes
✓Know where your main water shutoff is before you need it in an emergency

Serving Cities Near Lewisville

Lewisville borders Flower Mound, Coppell, and The Colony, and its lakefront geography means we sometimes handle plumbing for vacation and weekend properties as well as full-time homes.

Lewisville had just 815 residents when it incorporated in 1925 and grew to over 5,400 by 1960, with the lake and the interstate driving most of the expansion since, which is why plumbing age varies so much between the old downtown grid and the newer lakefront subdivisions.
