Gibsonville sits in both Guilford and Alamance counties, and more of the town lies on the Guilford side. Inside town, the Town of Gibsonville runs its own water and sewer utility. Past the town's lines, the farms, woods and new house lots run on septic systems and wells. A new house out there needs a septic system, and so does a home whose old system has failed.
JRC Construction is based in Burlington, about 6 miles to the east, and Gibsonville is part of our service area. We offer septic system installation around Gibsonville for new houses and in place of systems that have failed. On a wooded lot, we can start with the land clearing for the house site and the drain field. Call or text (336) 516-7170 for a free quote in writing.

The Town of Gibsonville provides water and sewer services to residents and businesses. Alamance County's land development plan lists Gibsonville among the towns that send their sewage to a City of Burlington plant. The county itself does not provide wastewater treatment service. A house on town sewer needs no septic system.
Past the town's lines, a new house will likely need its own system. Guilford County's permit list for September 2025 shows a new house with a Gibsonville address. Its sewer and its water are both marked private.
Before you plan a system, ask the water department at Town Hall whether town sewer reaches your lot. New service starts with an application returned in person to Town Hall on West Main Street. For building permits inside town, the Alamance County Inspections Department serves Gibsonville.
The county line decides the permit office. A lot on the Guilford side gets its septic permits from Guilford County Environmental Health. A lot on the Alamance side gets them from Alamance County Environmental Health. The state's rules set the same steps on both sides of the line.
First comes the soil evaluation. Guilford County evaluates the soil to determine its suitability for a septic tank system. In Alamance County, the process starts with one form, the Improvement Permit/Construction Authorization Application. An approved Improvement Permit shows where the septic system must be located.
The Construction Authorization comes next, and the building permit can follow it. The county inspects the installation before it is covered with soil, then issues the Operation Permit for an approved system. With the permits in place, the install itself is often a one-day job. Our septic permit guide lays out each step in order.
On the Alamance side, the county's specialist first checks the markings. Property corners and sidelines should be clearly identified with stakes and flagging, and so should the building location. If the lines or the house site are not marked properly, there will be a revisit fee. The evaluation will not continue until that fee is paid.
The lot also has to be open enough to reach. If it needs underbrushing or clearing, the specialist waits until the property is more accessible. There is no revisit fee in that case. On an overgrown lot, our brush cutting opens the site before the visit.
The specialist will auger soil borings to read the soil. In some cases, the applicant may need pits dug, generally with a backhoe, before the evaluation can be completed. Digging those pits is excavation work we do. The evaluation also checks for space for a second system, called the repair area.
The town's namesake, local farmer Joseph Gibson, did grading work for the new North Carolina Railroad in 1851. The first train arrived on October 9, 1855, at a depot named Gibson Station. The state legislature chartered the town on February 18, 1871. Gibson's Federal-style house still stands near town as a Guilford County landmark property.
The Depot Greens served as a holding area for livestock and farm goods shipped out on the railroad. Textile mills followed, with the Minneola Mill on Railroad Avenue and the Hiawatha Mill on Eugene Street in 1893. The town has been called the City of Roses since at least 1920. Train passengers could see the rose bushes along the tracks at the Minneola Mill.
When the mills closed in the 1980s, Gibsonville slowly became a commuter residential community for the Burlington and Greensboro area. The town had more than 6,410 people in 2010 and 3,653 housing units by the 2020 census. Census estimates put it at 9,876 people by July 2025. That count splits 5,225 on the Guilford side and 4,651 on the Alamance side.
