"It went very well. Took a bit longer than expected. Only because someone took his puller, but he pushed through and got it done. What was really nice is that even though a mix up occurred and the unit didn't get registered after it was installed as this was new construction with a custom builder. Dolan honored their 10 year contract."

We are a family-owned and operated business. We're committed to providing the highest quality service with our licensed and certified technicians, continuing training, and dedication to our community.

"They replaced my Well Jet Pump but could not get it to cycle on and off correctly. Finally, the Technician told me that I had a water problem but that he could not open the well to confirm because he did not have the Certification to open the Well. Thinking I had a water problem, my wife and I SUFFERED with a non-working correctly Well Pump for 9 months. I finally called another company who COULD open the Well and they determined that I had plenty of water and installed a Submersible Pump and now we have great pressure and are getting 14 gallons a minute. After I had the pump replaced by another company I received a call from Streamline requesting to do more service work for me. I asked to have a Supervisor call me. After 2 weeks someone finally did. I explained my situation and asked for a refund on the "One Year Warranty Jet Pump" (not on the labor just the cost I was charged for the pump). The Supervisor told me that they would NOT give me a refund. DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY!"
