Damage Assessment & Cleanup
Safety First: Turn off utilities and assess structural damage. Remove all damaged material and clean the area thoroughly.
Tools Needed: Safety equipment, utility knife, moisture meter, flashlight.
Pro Tip: Document damage with photos for insurance claims before starting repairs.
Structural Repairs
Foundation Work: Check and repair piers, footers, and leveling shims. Address any structural issues before installing new belly wrap.
Critical Step: Ensure mobile home is level and properly supported before proceeding.
Materials: According to the HUD guidelines, proper support is essential. The EPA also emphasizes proper moisture control for indoor air quality.
Insulation Installation
Energy Efficiency: Install proper insulation between floor joists before belly wrap installation. The Department of Energy recommends proper underbelly insulation for mobile homes.
Technique: Use faced insulation with vapor barrier facing up toward living space.
R-Value: Minimum R-11, R-19 recommended for most climates.
Belly Wrap Installation
Professional Method: Start at one end, pull tight, and staple every 6-8 inches. Overlap seams by 6 inches minimum.
Critical Details: Use heavy-duty staples and seal all seams with professional tape.
Quality Check: Ensure material is taut with no sagging or loose areas.
Sealing & Weatherproofing
Permanent Protection: Seal all seams, edges, and penetrations with professional-grade tape and sealants.
Attention to Detail: Every gap is a potential entry point for moisture and pests.
Final Step: Install proper ventilation if required by local codes.
Quality Inspection
Professional Standards: Complete visual inspection, test for air leaks, and document completion.
Maintenance Plan: Schedule annual inspections and address minor issues promptly.
Integration: Consider full encapsulation for maximum protection.
🚫 Avoid These Costly Mistakes
Common errors that lead to thousands in additional damage
🚫 Using Thin Materials
6-mil minimum thickness required - thinner materials fail quickly in mobile home applications
🚫 Poor Seam Sealing
Gaps allow moisture and pests - use professional tape on all seams and overlaps
🚫 Ignoring Structural Issues
Fix foundation problems first - belly wrap over damaged structure will fail again
🚫 Skipping Insulation
Belly wrap without insulation wastes energy and reduces effectiveness significantly
