Expert Crawl Space Services for Lasting Protection

We focus on durable moisture control that meets code, lowers humidity, and protects your structure. Every project includes detailed diagnostics, photos, and a custom plan built for West Texas conditions.

Crawl Space Vapor Barrier Installation

Moisture wicking up from soil leads to mold, odors, and damaged insulation. We install a reinforced polyethylene liner (15–20 mil) meeting ASTM E1745 Class A, with seams overlapped 6–12 inches and fully taped. The liner extends up foundation walls and is secured with termination bar and masonry fasteners. Where needed, we add drainage matting to relieve hydrostatic pressure. The result is a clean, sealed surface that reduces musty air and protects framing. Learn more about our Crawl Space Vapor Barrier Installation services.

Crawl Space Dehumidifier Installation

Even sealed crawls can see humidity spikes during storms. We size and install crawl space dehumidifiers with dedicated GFCI-protected circuits per NEC, and tie in a condensate pump or gravity drain. Smart controls maintain 45–55% RH and can include remote monitoring. This protects your subfloor, reduces allergens, and keeps the space stable year-round. Our technicians follow manufacturer specs and local codes for safe, reliable operation. Learn more about our Crawl Space Dehumidifier Installation services.

Crawl Space Waterproofing

Surface water and groundwater can overwhelm vented crawls. We install drainage mats, perimeter drains, and a sump basin with check valve and flood-safe discharge routing. Battery backup options keep pumps running during outages. We seal penetrations and vents, then encapsulate for long-term control. Equipment is tested with a sump pump test kit to verify performance. Expect lower moisture, fewer odors, and a healthier home. Learn more about our Crawl Space Waterproofing services.

Crawl Space Insulation Installation

In closed, code-compliant crawls, insulating the walls (rigid foam or closed-cell spray foam at rim joists) performs better than insulating the floor. We air seal rim joists, add rigid foam board (EPS/XPS/Polyiso) to walls, and leave a termite inspection gap where required. This strategy improves comfort, helps HVAC efficiency, and supports consistent humidity control. All work is done to manufacturer specs and local best practices. Learn more about our Crawl Space Insulation Installation services.

Crawl Space Mold Removal & Remediation

When moisture has already caused growth, we follow IICRC and EPA guidelines. Our team uses HEPA vacuums, negative air containment (as needed), and antimicrobial cleaners to remediate safely. After cleanup, we encapsulate and stabilize RH to prevent return. We document before/after conditions and provide a clear maintenance plan for peace of mind.

Licensed Trades, Insurance, and Safety First

Electrical, plumbing, or HVAC tie-ins are performed by appropriately licensed Texas professionals: TDLR electricians for new circuits/outlets, TSBPE-licensed plumbers for sump/condensate connections, and TDLR ACR contractors for dehumidifier/HVAC integrations. We pull city/county permits where required and carry full liability coverage.

On site, we use OSHA-compliant PPE and follow NEC/GFCI requirements for equipment. Our safety checklist includes lockout/tagout where needed, confined-space awareness, and post-install testing of pumps and dehumidifiers. You get compliant, durable work - documented and warrantied.

Proven Materials, Tools, and Methods

We specify Class I vapor retarders meeting ASTM E1745 and typically install 15–20 mil reinforced liners. Seams are overlapped 6–12 inches, fully taped with butyl or compatible seam tape, and the liner is fastened with termination bar. Drainage matting, sump basins with check valves, and flood-safe discharges handle water events.

We verify results with moisture meters and hygrometers, use thermal imaging to spot hidden leaks, and set remote RH monitoring when requested. For insulation, we install rigid foam on walls and closed-cell spray foam at rim joists, leaving a termite inspection gap where applicable.

Built for West Texas Homes and Climate

O’Donnell sits along the US‑87 corridor on the Lynn/Dawson County line, where dry months can give way to sudden storms. Vented crawls pull in dust and humidity, leading to musty odors and wood decay. Our systems are designed for these swings: sealed liners, vent and rim-joist air sealing, and controlled dehumidification.

We also design for rural pier‑and‑beam homes common in the area. Whether you’re near 79351, Lamesa, or Tahoka, we deliver practical upgrades - drainage, sump pumps, and insulation - that stabilize floors, protect beams, and improve indoor air quality.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is crawl space encapsulation and how does it work?
Encapsulation converts your crawl space into a controlled, dry environment. We install a Class I vapor retarder (typically 15–20 mil reinforced liner), seal vents and penetrations, add drainage and a sump if needed, and control humidity with a dehumidifier. By isolating the home from soil moisture and unconditioned outside air, you protect wood framing, reduce musty odors, and improve indoor air quality in O’Donnell and surrounding West Texas areas.
Do homes in semi‑arid West Texas like O’Donnell still benefit from crawl space encapsulation during humidity spikes and storms?
Yes. While our climate is generally dry, storms, irrigation, and seasonal swings drive crawl space humidity and condensation. Vented crawls pull in damp air and dust, which can lead to mold and wood deterioration. Encapsulation with a vapor barrier, sealed vents, drainage matting, and a properly sized dehumidifier stabilizes RH at 45–55% - protecting floors and improving comfort in 79351, Lamesa, and along the US‑87 corridor.
How much does crawl space encapsulation cost in West Texas?
Costs vary by size, access, drainage needs, and liner thickness. In our region, full projects typically range by square foot, with options like 20‑mil liners, sump pumps with battery backup, and wall insulation influencing price. We provide a free inspection, moisture readings, photos, and a written estimate so you can compare options. Ask about financing to spread the investment over predictable monthly payments.
Is 20‑mil vapor barrier worth it vs 10‑mil?
For most O’Donnell homes, a 15–20 mil reinforced polyethylene liner meeting ASTM E1745 Class A is a smart upgrade. It resists punctures from traffic, plumbing work, and service visits. We overlap seams 6–12 inches, fully tape them, and mechanically fasten the liner up the walls with termination bar. This build gives you better durability, lower maintenance, and stronger odor control than thin liners.
Do I need a dehumidifier in my encapsulated crawl space?
Often, yes. IRC R408.3 allows unvented, conditioned crawl spaces that maintain consistent humidity. In West Texas, storms and seasonal swings can push RH above safe levels even with a vapor barrier. A crawl space dehumidifier with a condensate pump keeps RH around 45–55%, which helps prevent mold, protects wood, and supports energy efficiency. We size equipment to your cubic footage and layout.
What are the code steps to build an IRC R408.3‑compliant unvented crawl space in Texas?
Key steps include: install a Class I vapor retarder over soil; seal all vents and penetrations; insulate and air‑seal walls/rim joists (leave termite gap where required); provide conditioned air or dehumidification; route any drainage to a sump with check valve and code‑compliant discharge; and provide access/lighting. We document the installation and follow safety standards for electrical and plumbing connections.
Can you install sump pumps and drainage with encapsulation?
Absolutely. We add drainage mats, interior French drains, and a sump basin with a reliable pump, check valve, and exterior discharge with air gap. Battery backup options keep pumps running during outages. Our team tests every system and can add smart leak/overflow alarms for peace of mind. This keeps liners dry and protects your O’Donnell crawl space during heavy rains.
Will encapsulation help with musty odors and allergies?
Yes. By isolating soil gases, controlling humidity, and removing mold per EPA/IICRC guidelines before sealing, odors typically drop quickly. We can also add carbon filters or odor-targeted cleaning if needed. Many Odessa Crawl Space customers report improved indoor air quality, fewer allergy triggers, and a cleaner home environment after encapsulation and dehumidification.
Do you provide financing for crawl space projects?
Yes. We offer financing options to make upgrades affordable - ideal for full encapsulation, 20‑mil vapor barriers, and sump/dehumidifier packages. Start with a free crawl space inspection and written estimate. We’ll outline good‑better‑best solutions so you can choose the right scope and monthly payment for your West Texas home.
