Crawl Space & Foundation Repair in Pittsboro, NC
Pittsboro is Chatham County's seat and one of the fastest-changing places we work: historic houses near the courthouse, rural homes on large lots, and a great deal of new construction.
Triangle Reconstruction has invoiced more than 50 jobs in Pittsboro since 2014 — more than 10 of them since the start of 2024.
Pittsboro Homes and What Is Under Them
Pittsboro has three kinds of houses, and we see all of them. The older homes around the historic downtown and courthouse are on crawl spaces and piers that have had a long time to settle. Out in the county, many homes sit on large rural lots, often with long driveways and land that was never graded with the house in mind. And the town has been growing quickly, with large new developments bringing a wave of new construction.
On rural and newly built lots, water is the common thread. Ground that slopes toward a house, or backfill that has settled since the house was built, sends rain toward the foundation, and a crawl space below grade is where it ends up.
Common Problems We See in Pittsboro
- Water under the house on sloped or rural lots after heavy rain
- Settled backfill around newer foundations directing water inward
- Settled piers and soft framing in older homes near downtown
- Humidity and mold in vented crawl spaces through the summer
We start by finding where the water comes from. On a sloped lot that usually means intercepting it uphill with a French drain or correcting the grade, before anything under the house is sealed.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. Pittsboro and the rest of Chatham County are in our service area, including homes well outside town. Site surveys are free.
Most often the soil around the foundation has settled since the house was built, so rain now runs toward the house instead of away from it. Short downspouts make it worse. An inspection finds the source before anything is sealed.

“Rob and his crew are super. I had a very big project to renovate a 130-year old farmhouse. They worked diligently to put in new piers, new girders, and new joists. Then they also help to fix some frames and add subfloor. This allowed me to move on. Really enjoyed working with Rob.”

“Very professional! They carried out their task while going the extra mile. It was obvious to me that quality is of great importance. They left it better than they found it. I would recommend them to my greatest of friends and family.”

“After having some minor flooding issues, we contacted Triangle Reconstruction and they were amazing in their ability to identify the issues and the best way to address it. What was most impressive was the team that came out and did the work. They were probably the most professional and organized crew we've ever seen work on our house. Brian, our rep, and Rob, the owner, regularly checked in on their work and kept us updated on the progress. I hope I never have to deal with flooding issues again, but if I do, I'll call Triangle Reconstruction again.”
