What is a Belly Bag?  

1. Moisture Control: The belly bag acts as a barrier against moisture from the ground. If it's damaged or torn, moisture can seep into the underside of your home, leading to mold growth, wood rot, and structural damage over time. Repairing the belly bag helps maintain a dry and healthy environment under your mobile home. 

2. Insulation: The belly bag often contains insulation material that helps regulate the temperature inside your home. Damage to the belly bag compromises its insulation properties, leading to increased energy costs and discomfort indoors. Repairing the belly bag ensures that your home remains properly insulated, improving energy efficiency and comfort. 

3. Pest Prevention: A intact belly bag helps prevent pests such as rodents, insects, and snakes from entering the crawl space under your mobile home. Holes or tears in the belly bag provide easy access for pests, increasing the risk of infestations and damage to your home. Repairing the belly bag helps keep pests out and protects your property from potential damage. 

4. Structural Integrity: The belly bag provides support and protection for the underside of your mobile home's floor. Damage to the belly bag can compromise the structural integrity of your home, leading to sagging floors, uneven settling, and other issues. Repairing the belly bag helps maintain the structural stability of your home and prevents costly repairs down the line.
