Warmer Floors, Lower Bills, and a Healthier Home - Done Right the First Time

You call us when floors feel cold, energy bills climb, or fiberglass is sagging and contaminated. Professional fiberglass crawl space insulation replacement solves those problems and prevents new ones. We remove the mess, fix the root causes, and install to code so your home stays comfortable year‑round. Expect safer removal, better air sealing, correct R‑values, and clean documentation of the work.

Safety & Risk Elimination

Old fiberglass can hold rodent droppings, dust, and mold. We protect your family and our crew with P100 respirators, Tyvek suits, and HEPA‑filtered negative air. Contaminated material is vacuum‑extracted, bagged, and hauled away. When mold is present, we follow IICRC S520 practices, use antimicrobial cleaners, and dry the crawl space before re‑insulating.

We’re fully insured and follow OSHA 1910.134 respiratory protection guidelines and NAIMA safe handling recommendations. For homes with pre‑1978 components, we use EPA Lead‑Safe RRP procedures to keep your property compliant and safe.

Professional Results & Quality

Quality insulation only works when it’s installed correctly. We deliver RESNET Grade I results: batts in continuous contact with the subfloor, no gaps, voids, or compression. In climate zone 3, we install R‑19 under floors (R‑30 where joist depth allows) with the vapor retarder facing up. We air‑seal plumbing and wiring penetrations first for maximum performance.

We use leading materials such as Owens Corning or CertainTeed fiberglass batts, insulation hangers, and support mesh or cross‑wires every 12–18 inches. Rim/band joists are sealed with foam and caulk, then insulated to cut drafts and improve comfort.

Time & Stress Savings

No more crawling under the house or guessing at R‑values. A typical 1,200–1,500 sq ft crawl can be completed in about a day, including removal, cleanout, and re‑installation. We coordinate any needed permits, protect landscaping, and keep access areas tidy.

Same‑week scheduling is often available in Odessa, Midland, and nearby towns. You’ll get a single point of contact, photo updates, and a clear completion walk‑through.

Cost‑Effective Solution

Correctly installed insulation reduces energy waste and moisture risks that lead to subfloor damage. We prevent future sagging with proper support systems and address air leaks so your new batts actually perform. Many projects may qualify for the IRS 25C energy efficiency tax credit (30% of materials, annual cap applies). We’ll also check Oncor program availability in your area.

You get an all‑in quote with removal, disposal, materials, and labor - no surprises. We aim to protect your home and your budget.

Peace of Mind & Warranty

We stand behind our work with a written workmanship warranty and manufacturer warranties on materials. You’ll receive photo documentation of the crawl space before/after and post‑install checks with a moisture meter. Our insured crews, documented processes, and local reputation mean you can hire with confidence.

If anything doesn’t look right after we finish, we make it right. That’s our promise.

How Our Crawl Space Insulation Replacement Process Works

We make the process safe, clean, and predictable from the first call to final inspection. Here’s what to expect when you work with our local team.

1) Inspection & Moisture Check

We crawl the space, take photos, and measure humidity and wood moisture with a hygrometer and meter. We look for leaks, mold, and air leaks at rim joists and penetrations.

2) Clear, Written Proposal

You’ll receive options for R‑values, vapor barrier or encapsulation, and any air sealing or duct insulation. We specify materials and scope so you know exactly what’s included.

3) Safe Removal & Cleanout

We use insulation removal vacuums, HEPA filtration, and negative air to capture fibers and debris. Mold‑ or rodent‑affected materials are bagged and disposed of per best practices.

4) Air Sealing & Re‑Install

We seal gaps with foam and caulk, then install R‑19 (or R‑30 where appropriate) batts with hangers and support mesh. Vapor retarder faces up. Optional 6–12 mil ground vapor barrier is taped at seams.

5) Final QA & Documentation

We verify fit and support, check humidity targets, and provide photo documentation. Optional infrared scan or blower‑door testing is available on request.

Proven Fiberglass Crawl Space Insulation Replacement Backed by Local Experience

We focus on crawl spaces across Midland‑Odessa and the surrounding Permian Basin area. Our team removes contaminated fiberglass, seals air leaks, and installs new batts to zone‑appropriate R‑values. Whether you’re selling a home or tackling high bills and cold floors, we tailor the scope to your crawl space. We deliver Fiberglass Crawl Space Insulation Replacement Odessa TX homeowners can trust for measurable comfort and efficiency gains.

Types of Projects We Handle

We work under pier‑and‑beam homes, historic properties, manufactured homes, and light commercial offices. Rental turnovers, pre‑sale upgrades, rodent cleanouts, and post‑water‑damage replacements are common projects. Each job starts with photos and measurements so you can see issues clearly.

From small 600 sq ft crawls to multi‑building footprints, we scale crews and equipment to minimize downtime for your household.

Our Methods & Standards

We install R‑19 batts under floors (R‑30 where deeper joists allow), vapor retarder facing up, with hangers and support mesh or cross‑wires every 12–18 inches. Before insulating, we seal plumbing/wiring penetrations and rim joists with foam and acoustical/air‑sealing caulk.

When specified, we add a 6–12 mil polyethylene vapor barrier with taped seams. Ducts in the crawl space can be sealed and insulated for additional savings.

Complex Conditions, Clean Solutions

Mold‑impacted or rodent‑contaminated fiberglass is removed with HEPA filtration and negative air. We clean, dry, and treat impacted areas, then re‑insulate to standard. Tight clearances, low access points, and congested ducts are routine - we bring knee pads, crawl boards, and the right cutters for safe, precise work.

If your crawl benefits more from encapsulation than a vented approach, we’ll explain options and costs so you can decide with confidence.

Results You Can Expect

Homeowners typically report warmer floors on winter mornings, fewer drafts, and steadier indoor temperatures. Post‑project humidity is targeted below 60% RH, and many clients see energy savings after air sealing and correct R‑values.

Most projects complete in 1 day for average‑size homes; larger or remediation‑heavy jobs may take 2 days. We finish with photos, a walkthrough, and warranty documentation.

Frequently Asked Questions

What R‑value do I need for crawl space floors in Odessa?

Odessa is climate zone 3. Under the 2015 IECC/IRC, floors over crawl spaces should be insulated to at least R‑19. Where joist depth allows, we often install R‑30 for better performance. If you choose encapsulation, we insulate crawl space walls (commonly R‑5 continuous or R‑13 cavity) and treat the ground with a sealed vapor barrier, then condition or dehumidify the space.

How do I know if my crawl space insulation needs replacement?

Common signs include sagging or fallen batts, cold floors, higher utility bills, musty odors, rodent droppings, visible mold, and damp fiberglass. After plumbing leaks or flooding, fiberglass often mats down and loses R‑value. We perform a crawl inspection with photos and moisture readings so you can see exactly what’s happening and what to fix.

Should I remove old fiberglass before installing new?

Yes - especially if it’s wet, moldy, or rodent‑contaminated. We use insulation removal vacuums, HEPA filtration, and negative air machines to contain fibers and debris. Then we dry and clean, air‑seal gaps, and install correctly supported batts. Stacking new over old traps moisture, hides damage, and underperforms in Odessa’s climate.

Is a vapor barrier necessary in West Texas, or should I encapsulate?

It depends on moisture levels, soil conditions, and ventilation. Many Odessa homes benefit from a ground vapor barrier to cut soil moisture. If humidity is persistent or ducts run through the crawl, encapsulation with sealed vents, wall insulation, and a dehumidifier can improve comfort and durability. We’ll measure conditions and recommend the right approach.

How much does crawl space insulation replacement cost in Odessa?

Pricing varies by size, access, and remediation needs. Typical ranges we see are $2.50–$4.50 per sq ft for removal, disposal, air sealing, and new fiberglass batts, with vapor barrier or duct work additional. Many projects may qualify for the 25C federal tax credit (30% of materials, annual limits) and occasional Oncor incentives. Free written estimates provided.

Do you service West Odessa, Gardendale, Notrees, and nearby towns?

Yes. We serve the Midland‑Odessa area and surrounding Permian Basin communities, including West Odessa, Gardendale, Notrees, Penwell, Goldsmith, Andrews, Monahans, and Crane. In Ector County, we frequently work in ZIPs 79761–79766, and we also cover parts of Midland County. Same‑week scheduling is often available.

How do you handle moldy or rodent‑damaged insulation?

We isolate the work zone, use HEPA filtration and negative air, remove contaminated fiberglass, and clean surfaces. When mold is present, we follow IICRC S520 guidance and apply antimicrobial cleaners after drying. We then air‑seal gaps, install new batts with proper support, and can add ground vapor barriers or dehumidifiers if needed.

Can you air‑seal rim joists and insulate ducts during the same visit?

Absolutely. Sealing rim/band joists with foam and caulk reduces drafts, while duct sealing and duct wrap cut energy loss. Doing the work together maximizes results and minimizes disruption. We’ll include these options in your proposal with clear pricing and expected benefits.

How long does the job take, and do you offer fast service?

Most crawl space removal and replacement jobs finish in about one day for 1,000–1,500 sq ft homes. Larger spaces or remediation needs can take two days. We offer prompt scheduling across Odessa and Midland, including same‑week service and priority slots after leaks or storms.
