What Problems Do We Fix in Holly Springs?
Gaps Around Windows and Doors
A widening gap along one side of a window, a door that no longer meets its frame evenly, or trim separating from the wall is often how a foundation shows it has moved.
What this looks likeHigh Humidity Levels
Damp air under your home soaks the framing, raises a musty smell upstairs, and makes your HVAC work harder.
What this looks likeCracked Driveway

What Soil Is Holly Springs Built On?
The most common soil in the USDA sample inside Holly Springs is Carbonton, a moderately deep reddish brown silty clay. Of the five points the USDA sampled inside Holly Springs, two are Carbonton, one is Fuquay and one is Chewacla. The fifth point falls on ground the survey does not name as a natural soil, such as urban land or water. Across Wake County as a whole, the most common soil is Pacolet, covering about a tenth of the land, followed by Cecil, Wedowee and Rawlings. The USDA rates the sample inside Holly Springs low for swelling and shrinking, which means it changes size very little as it gets wet and dries out.
Carbonton is a moderately deep soil that formed in place as the sandstone, siltstone and shale beneath it weathered. Soft, weathered bedrock lies within a few feet of the surface. Its top layer is silt loam, and under that is reddish brown silty clay. Loam is soil with a mix of sand, silt and clay. It stays wet near the surface for part of the year.
Fuquay is a deep soil that formed from old marine and river deposits of the Coastal Plain, usually found on Coastal Plain terraces. It is sandy for about the top three feet, and under that is light yellowish brown sandy clay loam. It drains well, and the USDA rates it low for swelling and shrinking, which means it changes size very little as it gets wet and dries out.
What It Means for Your Home
- FoundationsSoil that stays wet can stay soft under a footing and let parts of a house settle unevenly. Look for uneven floors and a settling foundation. See foundation repair.
- Crawl spacesWater close to the surface can mean standing water and damp air in a crawl space for much of the year. Look for moisture in the crawl space and sagging floors. See crawl space repair and crawl space encapsulation.
- Floor framingWater close to the surface keeps the air under a house humid, and joists and beams that stay damp can rot and weaken. Look for rotted floor joists, and broken or cracked joists. See framing repair.
- ConcreteSlabs on ground that stays wet can settle unevenly. Look for broken or sunken sidewalks, and a cracked driveway. See concrete leveling.
Soil survey: USDA NRCS Soil Data Access (SSURGO), sdmdataaccess.nrcs.usda.gov. Inside Holly Springs, the survey maps Carbonton, Fuquay and Chewacla series. USDA rates the soil low for swelling and shrinking (weighted linear extensibility 2.9 percent). Across Wake County, it maps Pacolet, Cecil, Wedowee and Rawlings series. Series descriptions: USDA NRCS Official Series Descriptions for Carbonton and Fuquay.
