Lewisville, North Carolina, sits just west of Winston-Salem along the Yadkin River valley, where wooded lots and rolling terrain shape the way water moves around a home. The brick homes built from the 1990s through the 2010s here often have basements set into clay over rock, and that combination keeps our phones busy with sump pump and drain tile calls. If you live near Shallowford Square or off Lewisville-Vienna Road, you know how quickly a summer thunderstorm can send runoff downhill toward a foundation.

Homeowners in ZIP code 27023 call Winston-Salem Waterproofing because we focus on what happens below grade. We are not a general handyman service or a plumber. We are basement and foundation specialists, fully insured, and we have worked on enough Lewisville properties to recognize the difference between a simple crack repair and a hydrostatic pressure problem that needs an interior perimeter drain. When your basement takes on water after a storm, call (336) 666-2424 for a free inspection.

Waterproofing Us in Lewisville (27023)

Lewisville's terrain is the first thing we look at. Many homes here are built on sloped, wooded lots where the grade drops toward the back or side of the house, and that means downhill runoff from neighboring properties can add to the water your own roof and gutters send toward the foundation. The red Piedmont clay over decomposed granite and schist swells when it is wet and shrinks when it is dry, so a foundation that looks fine in August can show fresh cracks by February after a few freeze-thaw nights. Brick homes with poured-concrete walkout basements are common, and so are older homes with block or stone foundations that have been finished over the years. We see a lot of efflorescence on basement walls here, which is a sign that moisture is moving through the concrete or block, not just a cosmetic issue.

Our team has worked in Lewisville and across the Winston-Salem area long enough to know that exterior excavation is not always the right answer. On tight wooded lots, an interior drain tile system tied to a sump basin and a discharge line is often the more practical solution, and it keeps the work inside where the weather does not slow us down. When a wall is bowing or shearing, we use carbon fiber straps or wall anchors after addressing the water that caused the movement. We also handle foundation crack repair with epoxy or polyurethane injection, depending on whether the crack is active. If you are near the Lewisville Town Hall or further out toward the Yadkin River, the ground conditions change, and we adjust the plan accordingly.

How a Job Works in Lewisville

Step 1: You call (336) 666-2424 or reach out through our website, and we schedule a free basement inspection. We walk the basement and the exterior grade with you, look for signs of hydrostatic pressure, check the sump pump and discharge line, and test for moisture in the walls and floor. We explain what we find in plain language and give you a written estimate before any work begins.

Step 2: On the scheduled day, our crew arrives with the materials for your specific job, whether that is an interior drain tile system, a sump pump replacement, or crack injection. In Lewisville, access can be tight on wooded lots, so we plan where to stage equipment and how to protect your landscaping. If your project requires a permit, such as structural foundation repair or egress window cutting, we pull it through the local building department and schedule inspections as required. We keep the work area contained and clean up debris as we go.

Step 3: When the work is done, we test the system, walk you through what was installed, and show you how to maintain it. We leave your property clean and make sure the discharge line is directing water away from the foundation. You get a transferable warranty on the work, and we are available if you have questions after we leave.

Pricing in Lewisville depends on the size of the basement, the access to the work area, the condition of the existing drainage, and how urgent the problem is. A foundation crack repair typically starts around $450, while a sump pump installation or replacement starts at $1,200 and a battery backup system starts at $900. Interior drain tile runs from $50 per linear foot, and a full basement waterproofing project starts at $2,500. Exterior basement waterproofing starts at $95 per linear foot, and foundation waterproofing starts at $3,500. For bowing wall repair, carbon fiber straps start at $600, and vapor barrier installation starts at $3 per square foot. We give you a clear, written estimate after the free inspection, with no surprises. Call (336) 666-2424 to schedule yours.

My basement in Lewisville smells musty after heavy rain, but I do not see standing water. What is going on?
That musty smell is often a sign of moisture wicking through the concrete or block walls, especially in older homes with stone or brick foundations. It can also come from a clogged footing drain that is not moving water away from the wall. We inspect the walls for efflorescence and test the moisture level, then recommend either basement wall sealing or an interior drain tile system depending on what we find. In many Lewisville homes, a dehumidifier helps, but it does not solve the source of the moisture.
My sump pump runs constantly during storms. Is that normal in Lewisville?
A pump that runs continuously during a storm is a sign that water is entering the sump basin faster than the pump can move it, or that the pump is undersized for the volume. It could also mean the check valve is stuck or the discharge line is partially blocked. We can test the pump and the discharge line, and if needed, install a larger pump or a battery backup system. Call (336) 666-2424 and we will take a look before the next storm hits.
What does a typical basement waterproofing job cost in Lewisville?
Most interior drain tile systems in Lewisville fall between $3,000 and $8,000 depending on the linear footage and whether a new sump basin is needed. Foundation crack repair starts at $450, and a sump pump replacement starts at $1,200. The exact price depends on access, the condition of the existing drainage, and whether permits are required. We provide a free inspection and a written estimate so you know the cost before we start.
Do I need a permit for foundation crack repair or egress window installation in Lewisville?
Permits are commonly required for structural foundation repair and for egress window cutting, and the requirements vary by jurisdiction. The Town of Lewisville and Forsyth County have their own building department rules, so we verify with the local building department before starting any work that requires a permit. We handle the permitting process for you and schedule the inspections. We never skip a permit to save time.
My neighbor's yard drains toward my foundation. What can I do about the property line?
Surface water that crosses a property line is a common issue in Lewisville's sloped neighborhoods. The first step is to document where the water enters your property and talk with your neighbor about a solution, such as a French drain or a regraded swale. If you live in a community with an HOA, check the covenants for drainage rules. We can install a French drain or a curtain drain on your side of the line to intercept the water before it reaches your foundation, and we can coordinate with your neighbor if they are willing.
Are you insured for work at my Lewisville home?
Yes. Winston-Salem Waterproofing is fully insured, carrying general liability and workers' compensation coverage. If you have questions about our coverage, just ask when you call (336) 666-2424.
What maintenance should I do each fall to prevent basement water problems in Lewisville?
Before the winter rains and freeze-thaw cycles, clean your gutters and extend downspouts at least six feet away from the foundation. Check the sump pump by pouring a bucket of water into the basin to make sure it kicks on and pumps out, and test the battery backup. Look for new cracks or efflorescence on the basement walls, and make sure the ground around the foundation slopes away from the house. If you see anything that concerns you, call us for a free inspection before the problem gets worse.

Learn more→

Exterior Basement Waterproofing

The most thorough fix there is: excavation to the footing, membrane, and new drains.

Included in your service

  • Excavation to the footing, foundation wall cleaned and repaired
  • Waterproof membrane and dimple board applied to the outside face
  • New footing drains bedded in stone and wrapped in filter fabric
  • Straight guidance on when exterior work earns its cost over an interior system
Learn more→

Foundation Waterproofing

Block, poured, and fieldstone foundations, each treated for how it actually fails.

Included in your service

  • Parging and crack repair matched to the wall construction
  • Membrane or crystalline treatment selected for the substrate
  • Drainage corrected so the treatment is not asked to hold back standing water
  • Period-appropriate approach for pre-1940 stone and block walls
Learn more→

Foundation Crack Repair

Epoxy bonds a structural crack, polyurethane seals a wet and moving one. We use the right one.

Included in your service

  • Crack graded first: cosmetic, actively weeping, or still moving
  • Injection ports set along the full depth of the crack
  • Epoxy injection where the wall needs structural bonding
  • Polyurethane injection where the crack is wet and needs to stay flexible
Learn more→

Sump Pump Installation & Replacement

A pump is only as good as the basin, the check valve, and where the water actually goes.

Included in your service

  • Zoeller and Liberty pumps sized to your pit and inflow
  • Sealed basin and check valve to stop backflow between cycles
  • Discharge line routed and freeze-protected for spring snowmelt
  • Old pump and debris removed, cycle tested before we leave
Learn more→

Bowing Wall Repair

Stop the movement without rebuilding the wall, in most cases.

Included in your service

  • Bow measured and monitored to establish how far the wall has moved
  • Carbon fiber straps bonded to the wall for lighter bows
  • Steel wall anchors where the bow needs active correction
  • The clay soil pressure driving it addressed, not just the wall braced
Learn more→

French Drain Installation

Intercept surface and groundwater before it ever reaches the foundation.

Included in your service

  • Trench graded to fall, gravel bed and perforated pipe wrapped in filter fabric
  • Curtain drains placed uphill of the house where the water actually arrives
  • Outlet tied to daylight or to a pump basin, never left to pond
  • Grading and downspout extensions corrected as part of the job
Learn more→

Drain Tile Repair & Replacement

Many homes here still run on original clay tile that stopped draining decades ago.

Included in your service

  • Camera inspection to locate the collapse, blockage, or root intrusion
  • Targeted excavation rather than replacing the entire run
  • Modern PVC replacement bedded in washed stone
  • Flow tested end to end once the line is reconnected
Learn more→

Vapor Barrier Installation

Stop moisture migrating through block and concrete before you finish the space.

Included in your service

  • Heavy-duty wall and floor barrier sealed at seams and penetrations
  • Fitted around the drainage system so moisture is managed, not trapped behind it
  • The right prep step before framing a basement finish
  • Paired with drainage, because a barrier alone does not remove water
Learn more→

Basement Wall Sealing

Sealers fix minor dampness. They do not beat hydrostatic pressure, and we will tell you which you have.

Included in your service

  • Surface prepared and efflorescence removed down to sound masonry
  • Penetrating or membrane sealer chosen for the wall and the conditions
  • Plain diagnosis of whether sealing is genuinely enough for your basement
  • If the water table is the driver, we say so instead of selling you a coating
Learn more→

Battery Backup Sump Pumps

The power goes out during the storm, which is exactly when the pump matters most.

Included in your service

  • Backup pump and battery sized to your pit and expected inflow
  • Automatic changeover the moment the primary pump loses power
  • Audible alarm so a failure does not go unnoticed
  • Runtime explained honestly, and maintenance checks available
Learn more→

Free Basement Inspection

A written assessment with photos, and a straight answer if nothing is actually wrong.

Included in your service

  • Walls, floor, cracks, and sump system checked point by point
  • Exterior grading, downspouts, and window wells reviewed as water sources
  • Photos and a written explanation of what needs fixing now and what can wait
  • Free and no obligation, including when our answer is that you need nothing
Learn more→

Basement Mold Remediation

Removal paired with the moisture fix, because mold returns wherever the water does.

Included in your service

  • Containment set up before any affected material is disturbed
  • Affected surfaces treated and remediated, damaged materials removed
  • Musty smell traced back to the moisture source rather than masked
  • Drainage or dehumidification added so growth does not restart
Learn more→

Window Well Drainage & Repair

A well that fills becomes a bucket of water held against your foundation.

Included in your service

  • Well excavated and a drain tied into the footing drain or a stone bed
  • Liner set true and backfilled with free-draining stone
  • Clear cover fitted to keep out rain, leaves, and snow
  • A leak source homeowners rarely suspect and inspections often miss
Learn more→

Egress Window Installation

Code-compliant egress, cut and flashed so the new space stays dry.

Included in your service

  • Opening cut and framed to the required egress dimensions
  • Window flashed and sealed against the foundation wall
  • Well drained properly so the new opening is not a water entry point
  • Permit requirements confirmed with the local building department first
