Core Crawl Space Services for Stanton Homes

We transform damp, vented crawls into clean, sealed spaces that protect your structure and air quality. Our crew uses proven materials, careful installation, and industry standards to deliver lasting results.

Crawl Space Vapor Barrier Installation

Moisture rising from exposed soil drives odors, mold, and wood rot. We install a reinforced Class I vapor retarder (ASTM E1745), typically 15–20 mil StegoCrawl liner with drainage matting. Seams are overlapped, taped with low‑perm seam tape, and mechanically fastened up walls 6–12 inches with term bar and compatible adhesives. We wrap piers and maintain a termite inspection gap per Texas pest guidance. Result: lower humidity, cleaner air, and a protected structure. Learn more about our Crawl Space Vapor Barrier Installation services.

Crawl Space Dehumidifier Installation

Even a sealed crawl needs active humidity control in West Texas. We size and install high‑efficiency units like Santa Fe or Aprilaire, targeting 45–55% RH. Our team provides a dedicated GFCI/AFCI circuit (TDLR‑licensed electrician as required) and a safe condensate discharge with a condensate pump or gravity drain. We can add remote humidity monitoring for peace of mind. The benefit is consistent moisture control, odor reduction, and protection for floor framing. Learn more about our Crawl Space Dehumidifier Installation services.

Crawl Space Insulation Installation

Insulating walls and rim joists helps comfort and efficiency. We install rigid foam board (XPS/EPS) or closed‑cell spray foam where code‑allowed and protected. We seal rim/band joists, leave the required termite inspection band, and verify ignition barrier needs for foam plastics. The result is reduced energy loss, warmer floors, and better control of condensation. We’ll recommend the best approach for pier‑and‑beam homes in Stanton. Learn more about our Crawl Space Insulation Installation services.

Crawl Space Drainage System Installation

Water intrusion requires proper drainage before encapsulation. We use a laser level to design a perimeter drain with 4" perforated pipe in washed stone to a sealed sump basin with a check valve and optional battery backup. Exterior discharge is routed away from the foundation. This system pairs with soil regrading inside the crawl to direct water to the sump. The outcome is a drier, more stable environment year‑round.

Code, Safety, and Termite‑Smart Details

Your project is built to IRC R408.3 requirements for unvented crawl spaces: sealed ground and perimeter, insulated walls, mechanical dehumidification, and proper combustion air where applicable. Electrical work for dehumidifiers and sump pumps is completed by TDLR‑licensed electricians on dedicated GFCI/AFCI circuits.

We leave a visible termite inspection gap at the top of liners/foam, follow ignition‑barrier requirements when using foam plastics, and route condensate and sump discharge to approved locations. The result is a safer, inspected system that meets Texas norms and pest‑control expectations.

Pro‑Grade Materials and Equipment

We install ASTM E1745 Class I reinforced liners (commonly 15–20 mil StegoCrawl) with compatible seam tapes, butyl adhesives, and term bar. Where needed, polyurea seamless options are available. We add drainage matting, 4" perforated pipe to sealed sump basins with check valves, and optional battery backups.

For moisture control, we specify Santa Fe or Aprilaire dehumidifiers, target 45–55% RH, and set up remote humidity monitoring so you can track conditions from your phone. These choices maximize durability, performance, and warranty coverage.

Local Knowledge and Real Results

Stanton’s semi‑arid climate sees dust, wind‑driven rain, and occasional storm events along the I‑20 corridor. We design for caliche soils, shallow crawls, and pier‑and‑beam homes common in Martin County. That means drainage first, then sealing, then conditioning.

Recent case: a 1,200 sq ft crawl near 79782 received interior regrading, a 15‑mil Class I liner, term bar attachment up walls, a perimeter drain to a sealed sump, and a Santa Fe unit set to 50% RH. Installed in 2 days, odors disappeared and floors stabilized within weeks.

Warranties, Financing, and Service

We provide written warranties on liners, dehumidifiers, and workmanship, with annual inspection and maintenance plans to keep systems dialed in. Ask about our financing options to make improvements accessible without compromise.

Expect clear communication, photo documentation, and clean job sites. Same‑ or next‑day inspections mean you don’t wait to solve humidity and odor issues.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is crawl space encapsulation and what’s included?
Encapsulation seals the crawl from soil and outside air to control moisture, odors, and pests. We regrade soil as needed, install a Class I vapor retarder (ASTM E1745) with wrapped piers, seal vents, upgrade the access door, and add wall/rim insulation. A high‑efficiency dehumidifier maintains 45–55% RH. If water intrusion exists, we add a perimeter drain and sealed sump discharge before sealing. You get a clean, dry space with documented photos and a written warranty.
Will encapsulation improve indoor air quality and energy efficiency?
Yes. By blocking ground moisture and outside air, you reduce musty odors, allergens, and mold risks that can migrate into living areas. Insulating crawl walls and rim joists lowers heat loss and can improve comfort over hardwoods and tile. A right‑sized Santa Fe or Aprilaire unit keeps humidity in check, helping HVAC run more efficiently. Many Stanton homeowners report fresher air, fewer odors, and more stable indoor temperatures after sealing their crawl.
Do I need drainage or a sump pump before encapsulating?
If you see standing water or chronic damp soil, yes - drainage comes first. We use a laser level to set a perimeter French drain with 4" perforated pipe leading to a sealed sump basin with a check valve and exterior discharge. Battery backup options are available. Addressing water pathways before installing the liner protects your investment, prevents mold, and keeps the dehumidifier from overworking in Stanton’s storm events.
Should vents be closed and is a dehumidifier required?
For unvented, conditioned crawls, we seal vents and install an insulated, gasketed access door to meet IRC R408.3. Mechanical drying is required, so we specify a dehumidifier sized to your cubic footage and leakage rate, targeting 45–55% RH. We can add remote humidity sensors so you can verify performance from your phone - especially helpful for rental properties or part‑time residences in Martin County.
What liner thickness and materials are best for Stanton’s climate?
We typically recommend a reinforced, low‑perm Class I vapor retarder in the 15–20 mil range for durability in West Texas crawls, such as StegoCrawl. It’s installed with compatible seam tape, butyl adhesive, and mechanical term bar. Drainage matting under the liner helps on rough soils. We run the liner up walls 6–12 inches and wrap piers, leaving a termite inspection gap for local pest control requirements.
How long does installation take and do I need to leave the home?
Most Stanton projects take 1–3 days depending on size, access, and whether drainage/sump work is needed. You can usually remain at home. If mold remediation or spray foam is part of the scope, we’ll coordinate ventilation and safe work practices (HEPA, PPE), and let you know if short‑term access limits apply. You’ll get a clear schedule and daily updates with photos.
How much does crawl space encapsulation cost in West Texas?
Costs vary by square footage, clearance, drainage needs, and equipment. As a ballpark, many encapsulations land between the mid‑$5,000s and low‑$12,000s, with drainage/sump systems and dehumidifiers affecting totals. We provide line‑item estimates, financing options, and warranty terms up front. After a free inspection in Stanton, you’ll receive a detailed plan tailored to your crawl and budget.
What are the IRC R408.3 requirements for an unvented crawl space and how do you meet them locally?
IRC R408.3 calls for sealing the ground and perimeter, controlling moisture mechanically, insulating walls/rim, and ensuring combustion air where applicable. We install a Class I liner, seal vents, add an insulated access door, and size a dehumidifier to maintain 45–55% RH. Electrical is on a dedicated GFCI/AFCI circuit, and we maintain a termite inspection band at the top of the liner/foam per Texas guidance.
Should I perform radon testing after encapsulating my crawl space in Martin County?
While West Texas isn’t a national hotspot, the EPA advises testing every home. Encapsulation tightens the crawl, so we recommend a post‑project radon test to verify levels remain below 4.0 pCi/L. If mitigation is ever required, systems can be integrated with the sealed liner. We can provide DIY test kits or refer you to a radon professional serving Martin and nearby counties.
