"Chris was very thorough and went above and beyond which is why we chose Crawl Space Jam for our project. We needed full crawl space encapsulation with a dehumidifier due to moisture and mold issues. Other companies recommended installing perimeter drainage and a sump pump in addition to encapsulation. Chris did the extra work to uncover an existing perimeter drain in our crawl space and he even tested it to ensure it was draining properly. I recommend Crawl Space Jam without hesitation."

"Brought in to investigate a leak. It turns out the leak was from a defective shower faucet cartridge. However rather than checking the source first the plumber made holes in ceiling (below). I think had he just turned on the shower faucet he'd found the issue and avoided the need for me to repair the sheetrock."

"I felt extremely cared for by the whole company. They were clear with what they were able to do, what the problems were, etc.. I was given an extreme amount of attention and I was so impressed with the work that I ended up going ahead and having them replace my hot water heater because I could trust that it was going to be done right."

"The professionalism of the service provider was great. The price for the installation services was atrocious. I was charged nearly $1800.00, most of it going to installation fees. Examples: To replace a $10.00 diverter valve which took 15 minutes, the installation fee ~$245.00. The fans cost around $300.00. The installation charge over $800.00. The hose bib cost ~$6.00, installation fee was $290.00. Future customers should be aware of these excessively high installation fees."

"Our tech Butch arrived with a very happy presence putting me at ease front the start, my coworkers gave me all their bad experiences about AC problems with techs so I was so scared. Butch evaluated the situation and gave me all my options with the prices that my warranty covered and didn't cover. He made me feel at ease as he proceeded to fix our leak and put freon in our unit, explaining the whole while what he was doing, again putting me at ease. Homeowners need more techs like Butch! He also suggested the yearly maintenance on our unit to keep us aware of any future problems or issues. I hope American Home Shield keeps this company on their list of companies because if or when I need another service request, I want Butch. Dawnn B. Ocean View, VA"

FAQs for sump pump or interior foundation drains installation projects in Fuquay Varina, NC

Most residential pumps draw approximately 1,300 to 2,900 watts when they first start, then settle at roughly 800 to 1,050 watts during normal operation. The exact number depends on the motor’s horsepower and how often the float switch tells the pump to run. Even at the high end, the electricity cost is minor compared with the expense of cleaning up a flooded basement.

Grab a ruler and an empty 18‑inch‑wide pit. During a steady rain, time how much the water rises in one minute. Multiply that depth (in inches) by 60 to calculate gallons per hour, then add 50% for safety. If the result tops 2,100 gallons per hour—about 35 gallons a minute—you’ll need a 3/4‑horsepower unit. Anything lower, and a 1/3- or 1/2-horsepower pump should do the trick.

Loud rattling, constant cycling, or shuddering vibrations are the pump’s way of telling you it’s on its last legs. Musty smells, higher electric bills, and visible rust are other red flags. If the unit is 10 years old or older and exhibits any of these symptoms, replace it before the next heavy rain turns your basement into a wading pool.

You don’t have to hire a licensed plumber, but you should still bring in someone who installs sump pumps for a living—whether that’s a plumber, basement‑waterproofing specialist, or experienced handyman. They know the local codes, can wire the pump safely, and will test the system before they leave. Skipping professional help might void the warranty and could leave you with a pump that fails when you need it most.

Not every basement needs a pump, but if your home sits in a floodplain, has a high water table, or has ever taken on water during a storm, a sump pump is inexpensive insurance. For basements that only struggle with condensation or the occasional damp spot, sealing cracks and improving drainage may be all that is needed.
