"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."

"Donâ t believe everything they tell you about their system. We hired this company because during heavy rains (4inches or more), our basement tended to flood. We discussed this with the sales rep who came out, Albert Morrow, and told him we didnâ t have problems unless it was heavy rain. He recommended his company and told us the system was designed for this. After we had the system installed, we had no problems but also no heavy rains for 2-3 months. However, in December we had 5 inches of rain during one storm, and OUR BASEMENT FLOODED once again. A technician came out and basically told us the system worked the way it was supposed to but during flooding conditions the system was overwhelmed . So basically we paid $7500 for them to come out and install a system that does not work when it should. We would have been better off just to keep our money in our pocket and just wet-vac the water out when we have heavy rain. NO,WE DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS COMPANY OR THEIR SYSTEM. We are basically screwed out of $7500."

"Chris was phenomenal! First off he is timely, has great customer service and included a free estimate. Chris gave updates daily and provided pictures of the work completed. He completed the work and came back by to fix a leaking hose. Chris replaced the hose immediately. He is an entrepreneur who has kept his word after he getting paid. Chris has been a great communicator and I recommend his services to anyone who is looking for quality work, reasonable prices, and exceptional communication. PS - He also installs crawl space sealed entry ways (door). This was needed due a cavity under a porch! Wonderful work Chris! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!!!!!!!!!!"

"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!"

FAQs for sump pump or interior foundation drains installation projects in Wendell, 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.
