Is your mobile or manufactured home’s vapor barrier torn, sagging, or water-damaged?

At Florida Anchor & Barrier, we specialize in mobile home vapor barrier replacement and repair—helping homeowners safeguard their property, reduce energy bills, and keep their living space dry, clean, and pest-free.
Why a Vapor Barrier Matters for Mobile Homes in Florida

Soft, sagging, or rotting floors caused by moisture intrusion
Mold and mildew growth that impacts your health and indoor air quality
Ruined flooring including carpet, laminate, tile, and hardwood
Higher utility bills from heating and cooling loss through gaps and tears
Rodent and pest infestations entering through exposed areas under the home
Wet, foul-smelling insulation that needs replacement

- What is a mobile home vapor barrier, and why do I need one?
A vapor barrier is a protective underbelly system installed beneath your home. It blocks ground moisture, pests, and drafts from entering. Without it, Florida homeowners risk high energy bills, mold growth, floor rot, and pest infestations. - How can I tell if my vapor barrier is damaged?
Warning signs include soft or spongy floors, mildew odors, rising utility bills, sagging insulation, or visible holes under your home. If pests or rodents are getting inside, the vapor barrier is likely compromised. - How long does a mobile home vapor barrier last in Florida?
A high-quality vapor barrier can last 15–20 years, but heavy rains, flooding, and hurricanes can shorten its lifespan. We recommend annual inspections to stay ahead of costly damage. - How much does vapor barrier replacement cost in Florida?
On average, replacement costs range from $1,800 to $4,500, depending on the home’s size and condition. Florida Anchor & Barrier always provides a free inspection and written estimate before work begins. - Will a new vapor barrier help lower my energy bills?
Yes. A properly sealed vapor barrier prevents air loss, keeping A/C and heating systems efficient. Many customers notice significant savings on their utility bills. - What’s included in your vapor barrier installation service?
We remove wet insulation, install heavy-duty threaded barrier material, foam-seal pipe openings, re-strap ductwork, and re-tighten anchor ties. We can also re-level floors and provide before-and-after photos. - Can part of the vapor barrier be repaired, or does it need full replacement?
Minor rips can often be patched, but when the barrier is waterlogged, sagging, or widely torn, replacement is usually the most effective long-term solution. - Does insurance cover vapor barrier replacement after a hurricane?
Sometimes. If storm damage caused the problem, your homeowner’s policy may provide coverage. Our inspection reports can help you with claims documentation. - What type of insulation do you recommend under a mobile home?
We install R-19 insulation, which provides excellent thermal protection for Florida’s climate while meeting manufactured housing standards. - How long does it take to replace a vapor barrier?
Most jobs are completed in 1–2 days, depending on the extent of damage and the size of the home. - What happens if I ignore a damaged vapor barrier?
Moisture damage will continue, leading to mold growth, sagging or rotting floors, higher bills, and pest infestations. Repairs later often cost far more than timely replacement. - Do I need both skirting and a vapor barrier?
Yes. Skirting blocks wind and debris, while the vapor barrier prevents ground moisture and air leaks. Together, they provide complete under-home protection. - Can you help with mold if it’s already present?
Yes. While we don’t directly provide mold remediation, we partner with reputable Florida Mold Remediation companies and can connect you with trusted professionals. - Do you offer free inspections?
Absolutely. We provide free on-site inspections and estimates so you can understand the scope of repairs before making a decision. - What areas of Florida do you serve?
We work throughout Central and Southwest Florida, including Tampa, Orlando, Sarasota, Ft. Myers, Clearwater, Lakeland, Kissimmee, Ocala, Punta Gorda, and Naples.
