Core Crawl Space Services for Long‑Lasting Protection

We focus on building durable, code‑aligned systems that stop moisture at the source, stabilize structures, and improve indoor air quality. Every project includes moisture readings and a detailed plan tailored to your home and Reeves County conditions.

Crawl Space Repair

Soft spots, bouncy floors, and wood rot often start with excess humidity and leaks. We inspect joists, beams, piers, and subflooring, then design targeted repairs that address both structure and moisture. Our crews use laser levels, moisture meters, borate treatments for at‑risk wood, and, when needed, support jacks to re‑establish bearing. We pair repairs with moisture control for a fix that lasts, not a band‑aid. Expect clean job sites, written scope, and photos before/after for complete transparency.

Crawl Space Vapor Barrier Installation

A high‑quality liner is the foundation of a dry crawl space. We install reinforced 10–20 mil polyethylene that meets ASTM E1745 Class I, overlap seams 6–12 inches, and tape with butyl/acrylic systems. The liner is lapped up walls and piers, then mechanically fastened with termination bar and masonry anchors. Where needed, we add dimpled drainage matting beneath the liner to channel water. This reduces ground vapor, musty odors, and soil gases while protecting framing and insulation.

Crawl Space Dehumidifier Installation

Even sealed crawl spaces need controlled humidity. We size and install Aprilaire or Santa Fe dehumidifiers with duct kits for even air mixing, set digital RH targets, and route condensate via 3/4‑inch PVC to a drain or condensate pump with continuous slope. We also offer leak and humidity monitors for peace of mind. The result: stable 45–55% relative humidity, improved air quality, and protection against mold growth and wood decay, especially during monsoon storms.

Crawl Space Waterproofing

Groundwater and storm run‑off along the I‑20 and US‑285 corridors can overwhelm vents and skirting. We install interior French drains using perforated 4‑inch pipe bedded in washed gravel with filter fabric, routing to a sealed sump basin with check valve and airtight lid. Exterior grading guidance and downspout extensions keep water away from the foundation. Combined with sealing and a Class I liner, this system stops standing water and protects finishes above.

Crawl Space Insulation Installation

We insulate for efficiency and comfort based on your home’s design. Options include rigid foam board (XPS/EPS) on walls and closed‑cell spray foam at rim/band joists to stop air leaks. We seal penetrations with foam and polyurethane sealants and leave a termite inspection gap where required. Proper insulation reduces drafts, evens floor temperatures, and lowers utility bills - especially valuable on windy West Texas days.

Why Homeowners Choose Odessa Crawl Space in Reeves County, TX

At Odessa Crawl Space, we blend building‑science methods with West Texas know‑how. Our insured team has 15+ years of experience and thousands of successful projects across the Permian Basin. From vapor barriers to French drains and dehumidifiers, we follow recognized standards and manufacturer guidelines to protect your home. If you’re considering Crawl Space Encapsulation Reeves County TX, count on our transparent pricing, tidy crews, and proven results.

Standards‑Aligned Expertise

We build sealed, unvented crawl spaces in line with IRC R408.3. Our installers follow ASTM E1745 requirements for Class I liners, manufacturer instructions for Aprilaire/Santa Fe dehumidifiers, and EPA moisture guidance. Before work begins, we document baseline readings with hygrometers, moisture meters, and, when helpful, infrared cameras to pinpoint leaks and condensation paths.

If mold is suspected, we coordinate mold remediation per IICRC S520 with a Texas‑licensed mold contractor before sealing. That means your encapsulation rests on a clean, dry substrate for lasting performance.

Licensed Trades, Insurance, and Safety

Your safety and our team’s safety come first. We carry proper insurance and adhere to OSHA construction practices. When a dedicated electrical circuit is required, we bring in a Texas‑licensed electrician to install outlets to code. Our crews wear PPE - respirators, gloves, knee pads, and goggles - and maintain clean containment with HEPA vacuums and negative air machines when needed.

You get documented start‑to‑finish photos, labeled equipment, and a clear close‑out packet with maintenance tips and warranty terms.

Proven Materials and Equipment

We specify reinforced 10–20 mil liners, butyl/acrylic seam tapes, termination bar with masonry fasteners, and dimpled drainage matting where groundwater is present. For drainage, we install perforated 4‑inch pipe in washed gravel with filter fabric to a sealed sump basin with check valve. Dehumidifiers are sized to load and ducted for even mixing; condensate lines are sloped and secured.

Around the rim/band joist, we air seal with closed‑cell spray foam or rigid foam and sealants, leaving inspection gaps as required. Every component is chosen for durability in West Texas conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is crawl space encapsulation and how does it work?

Encapsulation turns the crawl space into a clean, controlled zone. We seal the soil with a reinforced 10–20 mil Class I (ASTM E1745) liner, run it up walls and piers with termination bar, seal vents and penetrations, add French drain and sump if needed, then control humidity with a properly sized dehumidifier. The result reduces ground vapor, mold risk, odors, and energy loss while protecting framing and insulation.

How much does crawl space encapsulation cost in Texas?

Costs vary by size, access, drainage, and equipment. In West Texas, typical projects range from about $5,500–$12,000 for sealing and dehumidification, and $9,500–$18,000 when interior French drains and a sealed sump are required. We provide an on‑site inspection with moisture readings, photos, and a fixed, itemized proposal so you know exactly what you’re paying for before work begins.

Do I need a dehumidifier in an encapsulated crawl space?

Yes. A liner blocks ground vapor, but humidity can still enter from air leaks, plumbing, or seasonal weather. We size an Aprilaire or Santa Fe unit to your cubic footage and duct it for even air mixing. Targeting 45–55% RH protects wood, discourages mold, and improves indoor air quality. We route condensate to a drain or pump and offer optional remote humidity monitoring.

What thickness (mil) vapor barrier should I use?

We recommend a reinforced 12–20 mil polyethylene that meets ASTM E1745 Class I. Thicker liners resist punctures during maintenance and provide better long‑term performance. Seams are overlapped 6–12 inches and taped, and the liner is mechanically fastened to walls and around piers. Where groundwater is present, we add drainage matting under the liner to move water to a sump.

Do I need a permit for crawl space encapsulation in Pecos/Reeves County?

Permit requirements can vary. Pecos may require permits for electrical circuits, sump pumps, or structural work. We’ll advise during your inspection and coordinate with a Texas‑licensed electrician when new outlets are needed. Our installations follow IRC R408.3 for unvented crawl spaces and manufacturer instructions, which helps streamline any inspections that apply in Reeves County.

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

Yes - despite the arid climate, Reeves County sees humidity spikes, monsoon storms, and plumbing leaks. Those drive odors, wood decay, and energy loss. Encapsulation with a Class I liner, sealed vents, and a dehumidifier keeps RH stable year‑round. Homeowners report fewer musty smells, tighter floors, lower utility bills, and better indoor air quality, especially near the Pecos River Valley.

Should I insulate the crawl space walls or the floor?

For sealed, unvented crawl spaces, insulating the perimeter walls with rigid foam and air‑sealing the rim/band joist is usually best. It reduces exposed surface area and air leakage. Floor insulation can still be used in specific cases, but we evaluate duct location, mechanicals, and code to choose the most energy‑efficient, durable approach for your home.

Can you install drainage matting and a sump pump under the liner?

Absolutely. When water intrusion is present, we place dimpled drainage matting under the liner, install an interior French drain (perforated 4‑inch pipe in washed gravel with filter fabric), and route it to a sealed sump basin with check valve. This system prevents standing water, protects the liner, and extends the life of the entire assembly.

Which Reeves County ZIP codes do you service?

We serve homes across 79772, 79718, 79780, 79785, 79770, and 79786 - including Pecos, Balmorhea, Toyah, Saragosa, Toyahvale, and Orla. If you’re elsewhere along I‑20, US‑285, or TX‑17, chances are we’ve worked nearby. Share your address and we’ll confirm scheduling and travel time.
