High-Quality Crawl Space Services That Solve Moisture, Mold, and Energy Issues

We deliver durable crawl space solutions that protect your home, improve indoor air, and boost energy efficiency. Every project includes a detailed inspection, photos, and a clear scope of work - no surprises.

Crawl Space Encapsulation

Moisture and air leaks cause mold, odors, and cold floors. Our encapsulation seals the ground and walls with a 12–20 mil reinforced polyethylene liner (ASTM E1745 Class A), mechanically fastened with termination bar and butyl tape. We air-seal rim joists, close exterior vents, and set humidity control to 45–55% with a dehumidifier or conditioned air as code allows. Expect cleaner air, lower utility bills, and a protected structure built for West Texas winds and dust. Learn more about our Crawl Space Encapsulation services.

Crawl Space Waterproofing

Seasonal storms and runoff can push water under pier-and-beam homes. We add interior perimeter drains with a sealed sump basin, check valve, and optional battery backup to move water out fast. A dimpled drainage mat promotes flow beneath the liner, and downspout extensions reduce perimeter saturation. The result: a dry, stable crawl that’s ready for encapsulation and long-term humidity control. Learn more about our Crawl Space Waterproofing services.

Crawl Space Vapor Barrier Installation

Thin 4–6 mil plastic tears easily and doesn’t stop vapor migration. We upgrade to 12–20 mil reinforced liners with reinforced seam tape and protection mats for service paths. Columns and piers are wrapped and sealed, and walls are mechanically fastened to prevent sagging. This reduces ground moisture, improves odors, and prepares the space for insulation and dehumidification. Learn more about our Crawl Space Vapor Barrier Installation services.

Crawl Space Dehumidifier Installation

Even sealed crawls need active humidity control in our mixed-dry climate. We install high-capacity dehumidifiers (Santa Fe or Aprilaire) with a dedicated condensate drain, GFCI-protected receptacle, and a remote humidity monitor. Target RH is 45–55% to protect wood framing and reduce allergens. Annual service plans include filter changes and performance checks. Learn more about our Crawl Space Dehumidifier Installation services.

Crawl Space Insulation Installation

Insulation done right saves energy and stops drafts. We recommend rigid foam on crawl walls for unvented spaces and closed-cell spray foam at rim/band joists to eliminate air leaks. Where vented designs must remain, we replace damaged fiberglass and add air sealing for better comfort. Our team follows IECC best practices for climate zone 4B.

Why Choose Odessa Crawl Space for Crawl Space Encapsulation in Yoakum County, TX

We’re a local, family-owned team backed by thousands of successful projects across the Permian Basin. Our process is data-driven: moisture readings, photos, and a step-by-step scope so you know exactly what we’ll do. From ASTM E1745 Class A liners to code-compliant dehumidification, we build systems that last. When you need reliable Crawl Space Encapsulation Yoakum County TX, we deliver quality, safety, and clear communication.

Certified Mold, Moisture, and Energy Expertise

Moisture problems often involve more than a liner. Our team includes IICRC WRT/AMRT and NORMI-certified pros who understand water damage, mold remediation, and wood fungus treatment. We use HEPA vacuums, borate treatments (Bora‑Care), and controlled dry-out before we encapsulate.

Air sealing and insulation are handled by trained technicians with BPI/RESNET and SPFA PCP experience. We spray-foam rim/band joists, seal penetrations, and recommend wall insulation vs. floor insulation based on climate zone 4B. The result is healthier air and real energy savings.

When electrical or plumbing work is needed, we coordinate Texas-licensed trades for new GFCI receptacles or discharge routing so every component is safe and to code.

Code Compliance and Safety - No Corners Cut

Your project follows IRC R408.3 for unvented crawl spaces and the NEC for equipment GFCI protection. We maintain a termite inspection gap/visual band along walls per local pest control guidelines and provide coordination with a Texas Department of Agriculture-licensed partner when treatment is required.

We install liners that meet ASTM E1745 Class A, mechanically fastened with termination bar and sealed with butyl tape. Our teams work under OSHA confined-space and PPE best practices - P100 respirators, Tyvek suits, knee pads, and headlamps - to keep the job safe and clean.

Documentation matters. You’ll receive before/after photos, humidity readings, and a completion checklist for your records or real estate needs.

Materials and Equipment Built for West Texas

Wind-driven dust and temperature swings demand durable systems. We use 12–20 mil reinforced liners, reinforced seam tape, protection walkways, and dimpled drainage mats where needed. Columns are wrapped tight and seams are sealed to stay intact for years.

For active control, we install Santa Fe or Aprilaire dehumidifiers with dedicated drains and optional remote monitoring. Where water intrusion exists, we add interior perimeter drains to a sealed sump with a check valve and optional battery backup for outages.

A properly sealed, insulated, and conditioned crawl space stabilizes wood framing, reduces allergens, and helps floors feel warmer in winter - noticeable benefits you can feel upstairs.

Local Knowledge and Fast Response

We know Yoakum County soils, the impact of storm runoff around pier-and-beam homes, and the dust and wind events common in the Texas High Plains. Our designs address grading, downspout extensions, and vent sealing to control what enters the space.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is crawl space encapsulation?

Encapsulation seals the soil and walls with a thick, reinforced vapor barrier to stop ground moisture and outside air from entering your crawl space. We mechanically fasten the liner to walls, wrap and tape piers, close exterior vents, and add humidity control. The goal is a dry, clean, code-compliant crawl that protects framing, improves indoor air, and reduces energy loss - built for West Texas conditions.

Do I need a dehumidifier in an encapsulated crawl space?

In our mixed-dry climate zone 4B, most encapsulated crawls benefit from a dedicated dehumidifier set to 45–55% RH. Conditioned supply air is sometimes allowed by code, but a dehumidifier (Santa Fe/Aprilaire) offers precise control year-round. We size equipment to the cubic footage and leakage, then install a dedicated drain line or pump with GFCI protection for safe, reliable operation.

How much does crawl space encapsulation cost near me?

Pricing depends on size, access, and whether waterproofing or mold remediation is needed. In West Texas, many full encapsulations fall between $4–$9 per square foot, with totals influenced by liner thickness (12 vs 20 mil), dehumidifier choice, and drainage/sump needs. We provide a written scope, photos, and options so you can choose the right solution for your budget.

Will I need a sump pump in Yoakum County?

Not every crawl requires a sump, but if we find signs of water intrusion or storm runoff risk, we recommend an interior perimeter drain tied to a sealed sump basin with a check valve and optional battery backup. This keeps water below the liner and out of your crawl during heavy rain events common on the Texas High Plains.

What thickness vapor barrier should I choose - 12 mil or 20 mil?

Both work when installed correctly, but 20 mil offers extra puncture resistance for high-traffic or rough crawls. We use reinforced polyethylene that meets ASTM E1745 Class A, mechanically fastened to walls with termination bar, and sealed with butyl and reinforced seam tapes. We’ll recommend the best thickness based on soil conditions, service access, and long-term durability.

Is crawl space encapsulation code compliant (IRC R408.3)?

Yes - when done right. We follow IRC R408.3 for unvented crawl spaces, maintain a termite inspection gap along walls, and meet NEC requirements for GFCI-protected receptacles serving equipment. Our proposals list how ventilation, insulation, and humidity control will comply, and we coordinate licensed trades when permits or new circuits are needed.

Walls vs. floor insulation - which is best for West Texas?

For unvented (sealed) crawls, insulating the walls with rigid foam and air-sealing the rim/band joists performs best in our climate zone 4B. If a crawl must remain vented, we replace or upgrade floor insulation and focus on air sealing to reduce drafts. We’ll evaluate your current setup and recommend the most efficient path.

Do you encapsulate manufactured/mobile homes?

Yes. We repair underbelly materials, replace torn vapor barriers, and seal ground moisture with reinforced liners. We pay special attention to skirting, access points, and utility penetrations, and add dehumidification or ventilation strategies that fit the home’s construction. If needed, we coordinate electrical or drainage upgrades for a durable, code-aware system.

Do Denver City or Plains require permits or inspections?

Requirements vary by jurisdiction and project scope. During your inspection, we’ll identify if permits or licensed trades are required (e.g., electrical for new GFCI, plumbing for condensate/sump discharge) and handle coordination. We also follow Texas TDLR mold remediation rules when microbial growth is present and provide documentation for real estate transactions.

What maintenance does a sealed crawl space need?

Plan on an annual checkup: inspect the liner and seams, verify the termite inspection gap is clear, confirm dehumidifier setpoints and drainage, and record RH with a hygrometer. Filters and pre-filters should be changed per manufacturer guidance. We offer maintenance plans with humidity monitoring and photo documentation for peace of mind.
