Crawl Space Solutions That Protect Your Home and Boost Comfort
We design and install complete systems that control moisture, improve air quality, and protect structure. Every project follows building-science best practices and Texas code guidance.
Crawl Space Waterproofing
Standing water, high humidity, and musty odors often start with poor drainage. Our waterproofing systems use dimpled drainage matting, interior perimeter French drains, and sealed sump basins to move water out before problems begin. We install Zoeller pumps with check valves, battery backup options, and dedicated GFCI circuits where needed. The result is a dry, stable crawl that supports insulation, vapor barriers, and healthy indoor air.

Crawl Space Vapor Barrier Installation
Soil moisture drives humidity and odors into living areas. We install reinforced polyethylene liners (12–20 mil) rated to ASTM E1745 Class A, with 6-inch overlapped and taped seams, wrapped piers, and mechanical fastening up walls with termination bars. We leave a 2–3 inch termite inspection gap where required. This sealed ground cover is the foundation of a dry, clean crawl space that lasts.

Crawl Space Dehumidifier Installation
Even with a sealed liner, Lynn County’s seasonal humidity and windy South Plains conditions can push moisture into the crawl. We size and install high-capacity Santa Fe or Aprilaire dehumidifiers with dedicated GFCI outlets, proper condensate drains, and remote RH monitoring. Targeting 45–55% relative humidity protects wood framing, eliminates musty odors, and enhances indoor comfort per IRC R408.3 unvented crawl space options.

Crawl Space Insulation Installation
Insulating crawl walls and sealing rim joists cuts drafts and saves energy in the Lubbock area climate. We use rigid foam board on walls (XPS/EPS) and closed-cell spray foam at the rim/band joist, then air-seal penetrations with foam and caulk. This approach aligns with the energy code for crawl spaces and helps stabilize floor temperatures in pier-and-beam homes around Tahoka, Wilson, and New Home.

Crawl Space Mold Removal & Remediation
Moisture leads to fungal growth on joists and subfloors. Our IICRC-trained technicians safely remediate with HEPA vacuuming, negative air, and borate wood treatment after addressing water sources. We document pre/post moisture readings with moisture meters and hygrometers so you can see the change. Then we encapsulate to prevent recurrence with a sealed liner and balanced humidity.

Moisture and mold demand proven protocols. Our crews include IICRC WRT/AMRT technicians for water damage and microbial remediation, plus BHA (Basement Health Association) training for crawl systems. For older homes, we follow EPA Lead RRP practices where applicable and OSHA 29 CFR 1910.134 respiratory protection guidance when using PPE and negative air machines. This ensures your project is handled safely and thoroughly from inspection to final walkthrough.
We also invest in network training from industry leaders so our methods reflect current best practices. Expect detailed moisture mapping with hygrometers and moisture meters, photo documentation, and a clear scope that ties installation steps to code and manufacturer specs.
Licensed, Insured, and Code‑Aligned
We carry general liability insurance and comply with Texas trade licensing for specialized work: TDLR Mold Remediation for qualifying projects, licensed electricians for new GFCI circuits, and licensed plumbers for any sump discharge tie‑ins. While Texas doesn’t issue a statewide general contractor license, we meet city or county registration requirements as needed and guide you on local permitting in Tahoka and surrounding communities.
Our proposals reference IRC R408.3 unvented crawl options, energy code guidance for wall insulation, and ASTM E1745 Class A vapor retarder specs. We maintain termite inspection gaps per local pest-control guidance and coordinate with your termite bond provider to preserve coverage.
Proven Materials, Tools, and Installation Methods
We use reinforced polyethylene vapor barriers (12–20 mil), butyl tape and mastic, termination bars with masonry fasteners, and polyethylene seam tape for airtight seals. Drainage solutions include dimpled matting, interior French drains, and Zoeller sump systems with sealed lids and check valves. For conditioning, we install Santa Fe or Aprilaire dehumidifiers with proper condensate routing and GFCI protection.
Our toolset includes laser levels for grading, Bosch hammer drills, HEPA vacuums, inspection cameras, and data loggers to verify RH stays 45–55%. We protect high‑traffic areas with liner protection mats and document pre/post readings so you can see measurable improvements.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is crawl space encapsulation and what’s included?
Encapsulation seals the crawl from soil and outside air to control moisture and improve air quality. We install an ASTM E1745 Class A vapor barrier (12–20 mil), seal seams and piers, fasten the liner up walls with termination bars, close/insulate vents, and add dehumidification or supply air per IRC R408.3. If needed, we include drainage matting, an interior French drain, and a sealed sump with discharge to daylight away from the foundation.
Do I need drainage or a sump pump before encapsulating?
If water enters during storms or irrigation, drainage comes first. We assess grading and install interior drains leading to a sealed sump basin with a Zoeller pump and check valve. In many Lynn County homes, dimpled matting under the liner plus a sump ensures water can’t pond. Proper discharge and power (GFCI) are included so the system runs safely and reliably.
Should vents be closed and is a dehumidifier required?
In West Texas, wind and seasonal humidity make open vents counterproductive. We air-seal vents and install insulated access doors. Most encapsulations use a high-capacity dehumidifier to maintain 45–55% RH; code allows 1 CFM supply air per 50 sq ft as an alternative. We’ll size the unit based on square footage, leakage, and water load to keep conditions stable year‑round.
What materials and thickness do you use for the vapor barrier?
We recommend reinforced polyethylene liners between 12–20 mil depending on conditions, rated to ASTM E1745 Class A for puncture and permeance. Seams overlap a minimum of 6 inches and are sealed with butyl tape and polyethylene seam tape. Liners extend 6+ inches up walls and are mechanically fastened with termination bars. We maintain a 2–3 inch termite inspection gap where required.
How much does crawl space encapsulation cost near Lubbock?
Typical West Texas projects range from $5,500–$14,000 depending on size, access, drainage needs, liner thickness, and whether a dehumidifier or wall insulation is included. Sump-and-drainage add-ons often run $1,800–$4,500. Dehumidifiers are commonly $1,500–$3,200 installed. We provide a detailed, line‑item proposal after inspection so you can choose options that fit your goals and budget.
Will encapsulation fix sagging floors or are supports needed?
Encapsulation controls moisture but doesn’t lift floors. If joists or beams have deflected, we install crawl space jacks and structural repairs before sealing the space. This may include beam sistering, pier work, or joist replacement. Once structure is corrected, encapsulation and humidity control protect the framing and help prevent future movement.
Does Texas require a permit for crawl space encapsulation?
Texas has no statewide permit for encapsulation, but municipalities or counties may require permits for electrical, plumbing (sump discharge), or HVAC supply air. We advise on Lynn County and Tahoka requirements, coordinate trade-licensed work, and can pull permits when applicable. Your proposal will reference IRC R408.3 compliance and include product data sheets for review.
Do you install ASTM E1745 Class A liners and document code compliance?
Yes. We specify ASTM E1745 Class A vapor retarders and document installation details - seam overlap, wall fastening, and vent sealing - on the proposal. After completion, we can provide photos and pre/post moisture/RH readings. If you have a termite bond, we maintain the inspection gap and will coordinate with your provider to preserve coverage.
Which Lynn County ZIP codes do you service, and are there travel fees?
We serve 79373 (Tahoka), 79351 (O’Donnell), 79381 (Wilson), and 79383 (New Home), plus nearby South Plains communities. Most assessments within 30–40 miles are free; remote sites or difficult access may incur a modest trip fee that’s credited toward the project. Ask our scheduler about current availability for your address.
What maintenance is recommended after encapsulation?
We suggest annual checks: test the sump pump, confirm RH stays 45–55%, clean dehumidifier filters, and inspect seals at piers, walls, and penetrations. Our maintenance plans include a written report, photos, and any minor re‑sealing. If severe weather floods your crawl, we offer rapid dry‑out and re‑encapsulation services to protect your investment.
