"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!"

"I would highly suggest STAYING AWAY FROM THIS COMPANY! They booked a house of mine on Airbnb and smoked in it knowing it was a non smoking house and damaged my driveway and didn?t even attempt to fix it after confronting them them about the issues no response if they are willing to treat someone?s home in that manner I can?t imagine the corners they cut and how bad the quality of work they do is ? and you can obviously see how they handle problems when there is a issue by not responding!!!"

"Matt did a great job installing my first ceiling light/fan. He identified that the second ceiling light/fan required a different box in the ceiling, and ordered the correct equipment. Rob came a week later and did an awesome job installing the second ceiling light/fan. His attention to detail was remarkable! Great job Matt and Rob!"

"Tarheel encapsulated our crawlspace. They cleaned out the bulk of the debris and sprayed fungicide. They also managed to knock over a post jack. The second day they put a sump pump and replaced the old insulation They installed reinforced plastic sheeting, including over the base of the fallen post jack. The insulation began falling within a few hours of the crew leaving. They did send a second crew to fix this. Our older furnace depends on the under-house vents to breathe. These were all sealed up. The furnace pulled combustion air out of the house until I cut the vents open. In digging the sump well (at one of the highest points of the crawlspace) they cracked the sewer line, which let gravel fall in. Whenever the drains back up enough, the sump pump sends raw sewage out to the front yard. I am currently waiting for an estimate from the plumber to replace the broken sewer pipe and move the sump pump. I have called to discuss this and hope to eventually get a return call."

"Despite others having a higher average rating I hired Regional Foundation because the salesman, John, took his time, did a thorough evaluation and recommended solutions that no one else had which saved me money. The experience with the crew was great, Johnathan the supervisor communicated well and was punctual. I was quoted a week but Juan and Marcos were incredibly hard workers. The completed the job in three days. My spouse and I are very happy with the work, the air inside is better, less musty, and the AC feels cooler and less damp. Excited to see our next electric bill. Would recommend Regional Foundation. "

"Very prompt response in-fact they came the next day. Cal was the licensed plumber who did our work. He was very professional, neat and knew exactly how to fix and prevent future problems from happening. In fact, while he was here two of my neighbors hired him for work on there homes. Very reasonable and would highly recommend."

FAQs for basement drainage channels installation projects in Cary, NC

Expect a well-built French drain to last 30 to 40 years. By channeling both surface- and ground-water away from your foundation, the system relieves hydrostatic pressure and helps prevent costly structural damage. Choose a pipe with a quality cloth filter to keep sediment out and extend the drain’s life. A quick annual inspection and routine cleanouts will keep water flowing freely, ensuring the system continues to protect your home for years to come.

Most French drains sit two feet below grade, but depth ultimately depends on the problem you’re solving. For puddling rainwater or snowmelt, a shallow curtain drain at lawn level often does the trick. To handle rising groundwater, pros dig deeper, down to the footing, and run the pipe beneath the basement slab. A drainage contractor will determine the optimal depth for your specific soil conditions and water issues.

A properly installed interior French drain captures water at the slab, channels it to a sump pit, and directs it safely outside, preventing basement floods before they occur. Because the pipe sits just under the floor edge, a plumber can reach it easily for cleaning or repairs. Pairing the drain with a reliable sump pump gives you the best long-term protection.

Hire a contractor who installs drainage systems every day—typically a foundation specialist, drainage contractor, experienced landscaper, or plumber with waterproofing experience. These pros understand slope, soil, and local codes, and they have the equipment to trench safely around utilities. Ask for references and photos of recent jobs to be sure they can design a system that keeps water off your foundation for decades.

Once the drain is in, patch the yard by reseeding bare spots or replacing plants the crew removed. Inside, look for ways to add value—finishing the basement or upgrading interior waterproofing while the space is open often costs less now than later. Schedule a quick annual checkup to flush sediment and confirm the pipe and sump pump are clear. Consistent maintenance ensures the drain functions properly and protects your investment.

Most policies don’t cover the cost of repairing a French drain itself, but they may provide coverage for water damage if the system fails. Coverage varies by insurer, so be sure to read the fine print or contact your agent before any issues arise. If you live in a high-risk flood zone, consider a separate flood policy to close the gap. Knowing your coverage in advance helps you budget for repairs and avoid unexpected costs.
