About Clemmons
Clemmons is a village in southwestern Forsyth County with 21,177 residents in the 2020 census. It sits along I-40 between Winston-Salem and the Yadkin River, across from Bermuda Run and Tanglewood Park. Much of Clemmons was built from the 1970s through the 2000s, with steady new construction since, so the typical house is a two-story or ranch home in a subdivision with a crawlspace or basement.
Water and sewer
Most of Clemmons is served by Winston-Salem/Forsyth County Utilities for water and sewer (Winston-Salem/Forsyth County Utilities), so homes on the system get the same very soft water as the city. Some older properties and lots on the village's edges are on private wells or septic systems. If you are not sure, your utility bill (or the lack of one) tells you.
The plumbing problems we hear about in Clemmons
Polybutylene in 1980s and early-1990s homes
Houses built from the late 1970s to the mid-1990s are the prime era for gray polybutylene supply pipe. If you see flexible gray pipe stamped "PB" in the crawlspace or near the water heater, plan to replace it before it fails rather than after. See repiping.
Original water heaters and builder-grade fixtures
In newer neighborhoods, the most common calls are water heaters reaching the end of their life all at once across a subdivision, builder-grade faucets and toilets wearing out, and plastic supply lines under sinks that crack. See water heaters and toilet and faucet repair.
Basement plumbing
Clemmons' rolling terrain means many homes have walk-out basements with bathrooms or laundry below the sewer line, served by a sewage ejector pump. Those pumps need occasional attention: an alarm, a pump that runs constantly or a sewage smell in the basement are signs of trouble.
Irrigation and outdoor faucets
Lawn irrigation is common in Clemmons subdivisions. Backflow preventers and outdoor faucets need protection before hard freezes, and a frozen backflow device can crack and leak when it thaws.
Main-line clogs in older sections
Homes from the 1970s near the village's older core can have aging laterals and cast-iron drains, and wooded lots bring roots. A main line that clogs more than once is worth a camera inspection.
Tell us your neighborhood, roughly when the house was built and what you are seeing, and we'll call you back.

Do Clemmons homes have polybutylene pipe?
Some do, particularly homes built or replumbed from the late 1970s to the mid-1990s. Look for flexible gray pipe stamped "PB."
What is a sewage ejector pump?
A pump in a basin that lifts wastewater from basement fixtures up to the sewer line. Alarms, constant running or odors mean it needs attention.
