Crawl Space Encapsulation, Waterproofing & Repair Services in Brownfield

We focus on long‑term moisture control and structural health for homes in Terry County and the South Plains. Every project is inspected with moisture meters, hygrometers, and infrared cameras to pinpoint the right fix the first time.

Crawl Space Encapsulation

Musty odors, high humidity, and dust infiltration don’t go away on their own. We seal the crawl with a reinforced polyethylene liner (12–20 mil, ASTM E1745 Class A), mechanically fastened 6–12 inches up the wall using termination bars. Seams overlap 6–12 inches and are sealed with butyl tape and polyurethane sealant, wrapping piers and columns tight. We add drainage matting where needed and leave a termite inspection gap per pest policy. The outcome: cleaner air, stable humidity, and protection for joists and subfloors.

Crawl Space Dehumidifier Installation

After sealing, a high‑capacity dehumidifier often maintains target humidity at 45–55% RH. We size and install crawl‑rated units (e.g., Santa Fe or Aprilaire) with condensate routing, alarms, and service access. Our thermo‑hygrometers verify performance, and we can add data‑logging for seasonal checks. Expect fewer odors, lower mold risk, and better indoor comfort. Learn more about our Crawl Space Dehumidifier Installation services.

Crawl Space Insulation Installation

In the West Texas climate, we insulate walls and rim/band joists - not the floor - on unvented crawls. Closed‑cell spray foam air‑seals the rim, while rigid foam board (XPS/EPS) insulates the perimeter walls for energy savings and comfort. We follow IRC R408.3 guidance for conditioned crawl spaces and seal vents and doors to stop air leaks. This reduces hot/cold spots and helps HVAC run more efficiently. Learn more about our Crawl Space Insulation Installation.

Mold Removal & Remediation

If moisture’s been present, surface growth and odors can spread. Our IICRC‑trained team performs source control, HEPA air scrubbing, negative air containment, and material‑appropriate cleaning per IICRC S520. We pair remediation with moisture correction so problems don’t return. Post‑work verification with moisture meters and photos is included. Learn more about our Crawl Space Mold Removal & Remediation.

Drainage & Sump Pump Systems

Standing water demands drainage before any liner is installed. We add perimeter French drains with dimpled matting pitched by laser level into a sealed sump basin with check valve and airtight lid. Pumps are tested with alarms for peace of mind. This protects foundations, stops re‑wetting, and extends liner life.

Why Choose Us for Crawl Space Encapsulation in Brownfield, TX

Odessa Crawl Space brings 15+ years of specialized experience to every project. We follow building science, manufacturer specs, and code requirements to deliver reliable results. From the first moisture reading to final walkthrough, our goal is a dry, healthy crawl and a great customer experience.

Certified Expertise & Proven Process

Our team includes IICRC WRT and AMRT technicians for water and microbial work, plus OSHA 10/30 safety training. We’re members and followers of guidance from groups like the Basement Health Association, Building Performance Association, ICC, and BBB. You’ll see us using moisture meters, thermo‑hygrometers, and infrared cameras to find hidden issues before we design your solution.

Every encapsulation follows a documented sequence: fix water entry, install drainage if needed, lay dimpled matting, seal with an ASTM E1745 Class A liner, air‑seal penetrations, insulate walls/rim, and condition the space. We verify with RH readings and provide photos so you know it’s done right.

Licensed, Insured, and Safety‑First

We maintain proper insurance and operate to Texas standards. For mold projects we follow IICRC S520 and EPA Moisture Control Guidance. When mold assessment or regulated remediation is required, we coordinate appropriate TDLR‑licensed professionals. For termite concerns, we respect the Texas Department of Agriculture Structural Pest Control requirements and leave a clear inspection gap where required.

We also handle details like city/county permits when electrical circuits are added for a dehumidifier or when drainage ties into approved outlets. On site, we use PPE per OSHA 29 CFR 1910.134 and 1926 Subpart E to protect your home and our crew.

High‑Quality Materials, Tools, and Craftsmanship

Materials matter in the Caprock region. We install 12–20 mil reinforced polyethylene liners, butyl seam tape, polyurethane sealant, mechanical fasteners, and termination bars for a clean, lasting seal. Where water pressure is possible, we add drainage matting under the liner and route it to a sealed sump system with check valve and alarm.

We insulate with closed‑cell spray foam at the rim/band joist and rigid foam board on walls, then seal vents and install an insulated door. Dehumidifiers are crawl‑rated, high‑capacity units sized to maintain ≤60% RH. Our crews use laser levels for grading, manometers for pressure checks, and sump test equipment for reliable performance.

Local Knowledge, Warranties, and Ongoing Care

Brownfield and Terry County face West Texas winds, dust, and periodic stormwater. We tailor encapsulations to resist dust infiltration and manage humidity swings common near the Llano Estacado.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does crawl space encapsulation cost in Brownfield, TX?

Most Brownfield projects fall between $4,500 and $15,000, depending on crawl size, liner thickness (12–20 mil), drainage needs, and whether a dehumidifier or insulation is included. Severe water issues that require perimeter drains and a sealed sump system add cost. We start with a free inspection, provide a written scope, and can discuss financing options to fit your budget.

Is crawl space encapsulation worth it in a dry West Texas climate?

Yes. Even in West Texas, wind‑driven dust, periodic storms, and plumbing leaks can elevate crawl humidity and cause odors, mold, or wood rot. Encapsulation plus dehumidification maintains 45–55% RH, reduces dust infiltration during wind events, and can improve comfort and energy efficiency. Homeowners often see fewer smells and more consistent indoor temperatures after sealing.

Do I need a dehumidifier after encapsulation?

In many Brownfield homes, yes - especially with seasonal humidity swings. After sealing vents and installing a vapor barrier, we size a crawl‑rated dehumidifier to maintain ≤60% RH (typically 45–55% is ideal). Units include drain routing and alarms. During your annual service, we verify performance with hygrometer readings and adjust as needed.

What thickness vapor barrier is best - 10, 12, or 20 mil?

We typically install 12–20 mil reinforced liners that meet ASTM E1745 Class A. In low‑traffic crawls, 12 mil can perform well. For higher durability, heavy storage, or uneven soils, 16–20 mil is recommended. We always overlap seams 6–12 inches, tape and seal, wrap piers, and mechanically fasten the liner 6–12 inches up the wall with termination bars.

When is drainage matting or a sump pump required?

If water collects or soils hold moisture, we install dimpled drainage matting to channel water toward a perimeter French drain and into a sealed sump basin with check valve. We verify slope with a laser level and test pumps on install. Addressing water first is critical - encapsulation comes after drainage to prevent re‑wetting the liner and subfloor.

Do Brownfield or Terry County require permits for sump pumps or new circuits?

Permit needs vary by jurisdiction and scope. Adding a new electrical circuit for a dehumidifier or routing drainage to approved discharge points may require permits or inspections. We help coordinate any city/county permits and ensure work aligns with IRC R408.3 for conditioned crawls and applicable local codes. We’ll advise during your free inspection.

Will encapsulation affect termite inspections?

We leave a visible inspection gap at the top of the liner if required by your pest provider, per Texas Structural Pest Control guidance. We also seal around piers and install vent covers and an insulated door, coordinating with your termite company when needed. This way, you get protection from moisture without compromising future inspections or treatments.

How long does an encapsulation system last, and what maintenance is needed?

A properly installed system can last 15–25 years. We recommend an annual service plan that includes RH checks (target 45–55%), filter changes, coil cleaning, and sump/dehumidifier testing. Simple monitoring keeps conditions stable and protects wood framing, insulation, and indoor air quality for the long term.

Will encapsulation lower my energy bills?

Many homeowners see 10–20% HVAC savings after sealing vents, insulating walls/rim joists, and controlling humidity. The crawl becomes part of the home’s thermal boundary, reducing load and evening out temperatures. Benefits are most noticeable during hot, windy summers and cold snaps common on the South Plains.
