"We had out the door plumbing replace our water line from the meter to the house. They gave a very responsible price. They showed up on time for the estimate and the start of the job. The work they performed was very professional and the end result was surprisingly well done .they are friendly well mannered employees that do great work."

"Two plumbers called 30 minutes before coming and showed up on time. The base job was to fix the water heater in the attic. They were quite efficient and the work was priced fairly. The second part of the job was to check on several inspection items that I had corrected. They did a thorough review, but quickly. At the last minute I asked for a quote to modify a drain line. The additional work, quoted at an attractive price was performed with quality, but again in short order. Thank you for the quick, affordable, and high quality service."

"My prior water heater, a 50-gallon tank, started leaking after 15 years. I called Streamline to confirm that it needed replacement, and to replace it. I was considering a tankless water heater already, and the first tech walked me through the pros and cons, then wrote up an estimate. Two additional techs came the next day to install the heater and the necessary gas and power lines. The only issue I had was that one of the newly installed gas fittings leaked gas into the basement. I shut off the supply valve and called Streamline, and they came out within half an hour to fix it at their expense. Mistakes happen, and I was impressed with how professionally they corrected that one."

"Edwin Lazo installed new faucets and drains throughout the house following the installation of new granite countertops. Along with connecting a garbage disposal and a new line for refrigerator water and ice. He answered all my many questions and took the time to problem solve a future project with me. He was prompt, careful about cleaning up, and overall, did an excellent job."

"On Friday 11/9, Chris reviewed my project and indicated that some of the materials I purchased were incompatible with the existing plumbing. I exchanged those over the weekend. On Monday 11/12, Chris arrived on time and worked efficiently. He was very respectful of my home and considerate of my concerns. He answered all my questions. I will call on Chris again for any future projects."

"Over-all the installation day went well - the crew was on time, prompt and very efficient. They installed the sump pump drain line without my knowledge and installed it over the property line. When my neighbor needed to install a fence, it took moths, multiple calls and finally threat of legal action to get them to come out and move the drain (which they promised to do at time of installation). The re-positioned drain work was so shoddy that I now have the drain sticking out of the ground and not properly draining; I will be calling them back again. It also took weeks and multiple calls to finally get the promised inspector documentation, which was then left in the crawl space without any notification."

Okay - Angie says she wants all the details, so here goes.

I can't praise my service rep Eddie and Cape Fear AC & Heating Company enough for this service.

In September 2013, I was told by another HVAC company that there was a leak at my AC coils and that I should replace the entire system. They also tried to sell me some sort of T and float switch. I don't recall what the purpose of this was, but I have gotten along just fine without it. I declined both recommendations and just had them add refrigerant. The system has worked fine for the most part ever since, but I have had some difficulty maintaining consistent temperature throughout the house and recently a drain outside at the rear of the house began dripping. So, I decided it was time for a check up since it had been a while.

I got the deal notice on Angie's List for Cape Fear and purchased it. Eddie arrived this morning and performed the following: cleaned the coils; flushed the main drain; fixed the damper aim and showed me how to set it for summer/winter for a two-story system; checked capacitors, conductor, amps, volts and electrical connection. I also needed a little less than a pound of refrigerant, which Eddie added. All of this for $49. He completed the service late morning and my house has been a very comfy 73 degrees throughout ever since!

One thing about the damper aim: I thought I knew how to adjust these for proper upstairs/downstairs air distribution according to the season. But... I discovered with Eddie that the builder (or previous AC technician) had labeled them wrong and I have been adjusting them completely the opposite of what I should have for a couple of years now! Also, Eddie informed me that the drain dripping outside at the rear of the house was an overflow drain. It has stopped dripping since Eddie flushed the main drain. 

Cape Fear has without a doubt earned a new customer with me. I'm even referring them to the president of our homeowners association to recommend to the other homeowners in my development. If you need any type of heating/AC work done, I HIGHLY recommend Cape Fear AC & Heating Company. Nice work, Eddie!

French Drains FAQs, answered by experts

DIY is not recommended due to safety risks and specialized equipment requirements. Hire professionals for effective clearing.

That pungent rotten egg smell coming from your drain is likely the buildup of biofilm—hair, skin, and soap scum that turns into a black sticky mess. In this case, pouring down near-boiling water, baking soda, and white vinegar will remove the smell. Keep in mind that a rotten egg smell is occasionally a sign of larger sewage line clogs and other related issues.

There are a couple of things you can do to help prevent your French drain grate from clogging. First, keep yard debris clear so it doesn’t wash into the drain and clog the grate. You can also install a screen or filter over the grate to prevent large pieces of debris from entering the access point.

You can pour hot water down your gutter drain to melt ice and keep ice dams from forming. If the problems persist, consider investing in heat cables to run in your gutters. Heat cables can adjust based on the surrounding temperature to keep ice thawed.

Bleach isn’t likely to help unclog a sewer line. Bleach isn’t useful in this situation because it won’t dissolve the grime and debris in the clog. Instead, you want to use ingredients that will have a chemical reaction to clear out the buildup, like vinegar or salt and baking soda.
