Your Winston -Salem Plumber — 24/7, Always Answering
Emergency water heater repair throughout the Triad — same-day service when you need it most.
Serving Winston-Salem from High Point — 20 Minutes Away
When your water heater fails at 6 AM or a pipe bursts on a Sunday night, you need a plumber who actually answers the phone. We’re All-Star Plumbing, based in High Point — about 20 minutes from most Winston-Salem neighborhoods. We’ve been serving Winston-Salem homeowners since 2007, and we answer every call, day or night.
Winston-Salem is one of our core service cities. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, Winston-Salem has over 250,000 residents and a housing stock that spans from historic homes in the West End to newer construction in Clemmons and Lewisville. That means plumbing systems range from 100-year-old galvanized pipes to modern PEX installations, & we work on all of them.
Our family has been plumbing in the Triad since 1986. Joshua Davis and his father Larry bring over 100 years of combined experience to every job. We’re not a franchise or a call center — we’re your neighbors.
Why Winston - Salem Homeowners Call Us
No showers. No clean dishes. No laundry. When your hot water heater fails, your whole routine grinds to a halt. And it always seems to happen at the worst possible time — early morning, before guests arrive, or in the middle of winter.
All-Star Plumbing treats no-hot-water calls as emergencies. We respond fast, diagnose the problem, and get your hot water back — often the same day you call. Serving High Point, Greensboro, Winston-Salem, and communities throughout the Triad.
We repair both tank and tankless water heaters. Gas, electric, propane — whatever you have, we work on it. And if repair isn’t the answer, we can replace your water heater quickly so you’re not without hot water for days.
Plumbing Services for Winston-Salem Homes
We provide complete residential and commercial plumbing services throughout Winston-Salem.
Here’s how we help local homeowners:
Burst pipes, major leaks, sewer backups, no hot water. We respond to Winston-Salem emergencies fast — typically within 45 minutes during business hours.
Tank and tankless water heaters. Winston-Salem’s moderately hard water (averaging 4-7 grains per gallon from the City of Winston-Salem utility) accelerates sediment buildup — regular flushing extends tank life.
Slow drains, clogs, main line backups. Many older Winston-Salem homes have clay or cast iron sewer lines that are prone to root intrusion and deterioration after 50+ years.
Winston-Salem city water covers most of the urban area, but many properties in western Forsyth County and surrounding areas rely on private wells. We’re one of the few Triad plumbers with well pump expertise.
Hidden leaks waste water and cause damage. We use professional detection equipment to find leaks under slabs, behind walls, and in crawl spaces without unnecessary demolition.
Toilets, faucets, sinks, garbage disposals, dishwashers, washing machine hookups.
Same-day service for most fixture work.
Plumbing Considerations for Winston-Salem Homes
Every city has local factors that affect plumbing. Here’s what matters in Winston-Salem:
- Water Quality & Hardness
Winston-Salem’s municipal water comes primarily from Salem Lake and the Yadkin River. The City of Winston-Salem reports water hardness averaging 4-7 grains per gallon — classified as moderately hard. This causes mineral buildup in water heaters, faucets, and pipes over time.
- ➟ Common issues in older homes: Galvanized steel pipes (corroding from inside), clay sewer lines (root intrusion), outdated water heaters, and undersized supply lines. We specialize in working with older plumbing without damaging historic features.
- Piedmont Climate & Freeze Risk
The Piedmont Triad typically sees 5-10 hard freezes per winter. While not as severe as northern states, exposed pipes in crawl spaces, unheated areas, and exterior walls are at risk. The Insurance Information Institute notes that burst pipes from freezing are among the most common — and expensive — homeowner claims.
- ➟ Prevention: Insulate exposed pipes, know your shutoff valve location, and call immediately if you suspect frozen pipes. We offer emergency service for frozen and burst pipe situations.
- Sewer System Age
Winston-Salem’s sewer infrastructure varies by neighborhood. Older areas often have original clay or cast iron sewer lines that are 50-80+ years old. According to industry standards, clay pipes last 50-60 years; cast iron 75-100 years.
- ➟ Signs of sewer problems: Multiple drains backing up, sewage smell in yard, wet spots over sewer line, recurring main line clogs. Camera inspection can reveal the exact condition of your sewer line.
- Well Water in Surrounding Areas
While Winston-Salem city limits are served by municipal water, many homes in western Forsyth County and neighboring Davie County rely on private wells. Well pumps require specialized knowledge that many plumbers don’t have.
- ➟ Our advantage: We're one of the few Triad plumbing companies with dedicated well pump repair expertise. If your well pump fails, we can diagnose and repair it — often same-day.
