Underbelly Insulation
Mobile Home Underbelly Insulation Replacement in Kansas City
If the floor is cold, the heating bill is climbing, or insulation is hanging out of the belly, the insulation under your home has failed. We replace it, fix what caused the failure, and close the belly back up the right way.
Signs the Insulation Has Failed
Done Right
What We Do Differently
Fix the cause first
Wet insulation means a moisture source: a plumbing leak, an air conditioner drain, a roof leak, or drainage. We find it and fix it before new insulation goes in, because insulating over a leak causes rot.
Replace, do not reuse, wet material
Wet, matted, or contaminated insulation is removed. Only dry, intact, full-thickness insulation is reused.
Fill the cavity, do not compress it
Squashed insulation loses R-value. We cut pieces to fit around pipes and ducts instead of stuffing them in.
Seal before closing
Ducts and plumbing penetrations are sealed first, since they cannot be reached once the belly is closed.
Closed Up So It Stays
New insulation is only as good as the belly that holds it. We close it with new belly wrap bonded with contact adhesive, held up by 1x2 strips fastened to the joists, with deck joint tape over seams and openings. That keeps the insulation in place and animals out.
Our work is backed by a lifetime transferable warranty that passes to the next owner at no cost.
FAQ
Underbelly Insulation FAQ
What insulation do you use under a mobile home?
We replace it to match what was there, in type and R-value, sized to the joist cavity. The cavity depth limits what fits, so we measure before we buy.
Can wet insulation dry out and be reused?
Rarely. Once it has been wet or matted, it has lost much of its value and can hold moisture against the floor. We replace it and fix the moisture source.
Will new insulation lower my heating bill?
Missing or damaged insulation is a common cause of cold floors and high bills, so replacing it usually helps. We do not promise a specific savings number.
Do you insulate only part of the home?
Yes, when that is what the job calls for. We scope the work to the areas you need and will tell you if we see problems elsewhere.
Can you replace insulation and repair ductwork together?
Yes, and we recommend it. The belly is already open, so ductwork repair in the same visit saves a second trip.
