Crawl Space & Foundation Repair in Wake Forest, NC
Wake Forest has a historic core around its old college campus and a much larger ring of newer neighborhoods, and the two need very different things from a crawl space contractor.
Triangle Reconstruction has invoiced more than 60 jobs in Wake Forest since 2014.
Wake Forest Homes and What Is Under Them
The town grew up around Wake Forest College, which moved to Winston-Salem in the 1950s and left behind a historic downtown and some of the oldest houses in northern Wake County. Those homes often sit on brick piers or low crawl spaces that are hard to get into and easy to ignore.
Most of Wake Forest is much newer. The town has grown quickly as northern Wake County filled in, and a portion of it crosses into Franklin County. In the newer subdivisions the framing is usually sound; the trouble is a vented crawl space with a thin vapor barrier that runs humid every summer.
Common Problems We See in Wake Forest
- In the historic homes: settled brick piers, sagging floors and framing that has been damp for decades
- Summer humidity, musty smells and early mold in newer vented crawl spaces
- Torn or displaced vapor barriers and fallen insulation
- Water under the house where downspouts or grading send it toward the foundation
For an older Wake Forest home the first job is usually structural — crawl space repair to piers, sills and joists — with moisture control after. For a newer one it is usually the reverse: control the moisture now so the framing never needs the repair.

“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.”
