Dallas homes sit on Blackland Prairie clay that shifts with every rain and drought cycle. Our fully sealed crawl space systems with CleanSpace liner and AprilAire dehumidifiers keep your floors dry, your air clean, and your foundation stable — guaranteed.
Complete crawl space moisture control solutions for Dallas pier-and-beam homes.
20-mil CleanSpace liner covers the ground and walls completely — sealed, taped, and tested before we leave your Dallas home.
AprilAire E080 and Santa Fe Compact70 dehumidifiers mounted and wired — maintaining relative humidity below 55% year-round.
Old 6-mil poly barriers replaced with commercial-grade 20-mil CleanSpace — far more durable against Dallas clay soil movement.
Mold on joists treated with antimicrobial solution before encapsulation — stopping the source before sealing the space.
Clay soil drainage issues corrected before encapsulation — ensuring water doesn't pool under your Dallas home's foundation.
Old open vents sealed with hydraulic cement and foam — converting your vented crawl space to a fully conditioned system.
Blackland Prairie clay, high summer humidity, and older pier-and-beam construction make Dallas crawl spaces especially vulnerable.
The expansive black clay soil underlying most of Dallas absorbs rainwater and swells dramatically, then shrinks and cracks in summer heat. This constant movement shifts pier-and-beam foundations, causing sloping floors and gaps around doors — and it drives ground moisture directly into unprotected crawl spaces every wet season.
Dallas summers combine 95°F+ temperatures with humidity that regularly exceeds 80% — and traditional vented crawl spaces make it worse. Outside air at 60% relative humidity floods into an already 70%-humid crawl space, pushing conditions past 100% RH. That is the threshold at which mold colonies establish within 24–48 hours on wood joists.
Most brick ranch homes built in Dallas neighborhoods like Lake Highlands, Lakewood, and Preston Hollow between the 1950s and 1980s were constructed with open crawl space vents — the standard of that era. Those vents actively invite today's humid Dallas air, ground moisture from clay soil, and subterranean termites that thrive in the damp, rotting wood the moisture creates.
CleanSpace 20-mil liner, TerraBlock insulation, and AprilAire dehumidifier — professional-grade materials for Dallas encapsulation
One to two days from assessment to a fully sealed, conditioned crawl space.
We inspect your crawl space, measure square footage, assess soil drainage, and check for mold on joists before quoting.
TerraBlock insulation goes down, CleanSpace liner is installed wall-to-wall, vents are sealed, and dehumidifier is mounted.
We test humidity levels before leaving — and only sign off when the crawl space is reading under 55% relative humidity.
Before: exposed clay soil, sagging insulation, rust, and moisture. After: bright white CleanSpace liner, dry joists, and humidity reading 47%
"Our Lake Highlands ranch house had musty smells in every room and soft spots in the hardwood floor. Encapsulation fixed both problems. No more smell, floors are solid again."
"Mold on the joists in our Lakewood crawl space. They treated it, installed the CleanSpace liner, and put in an AprilAire dehumidifier. Humidity went from 85% to 47%. Done in one day."
"Preston Hollow home built in the '60s with original crawl space vents. After encapsulation, the allergies in our house are noticeably better. Worth every dollar."
