[@Tattooclownfish71]

Morning drew n Paul yes I’ve been working under my mobile home and it’s right too really sucks . It’s just dirt too no moisture barrier, I talked with a landscaper am gonna put this barrier down they use forgot the freaking name of it protects against animals . I had to crawl under mine so tight and there was a big asss hole so I had to cut around the steel beams and screw thick plywood wasn’t easy at all I was screaming shit falling on my face long story short fix the wholes put a barrier on the ground Buy a few vents secure the whole mobile home with nice skirting and build a door where the water line is yup. No contractor can’t afford one too much money 💰 the morons who owned before me screws old wooden fence they cut put it one side the other is white plastic you use in the shower don’t know the name of it real dickheads being lazy and super cheap so I gotta fix all this shit people don’t wanna fix it right the first time but drew and Paul are great guys am learning a lot but am doing the same thing guys and it’s not easy at all Joey Massachusetts

Awesome comment and I’m pinning it. Thanks. Great luck to ya

[@happygolucky7777]

People who do these types of jobs are way underappreciated...Yes I give you cred and respect...looks dangerous, unhealthy and itchy...God Bless You Workers...

[@Drewsroofingandhomerepair]

Thank you and all of the above. Respect for your comments

[@tomdale1313]

God bless you both. Anybody that gets under a Mobile Home deserves a thumbs up

[@Drewsroofingandhomerepair]

Thank you my friend especially if it’s that tight

Bought a 1984 in a nice park in Central Florida in 2017. Got a great deal on it . Last summer i finally decided to get under it and do clean up and pull down all of the hanging insulation. I also pulled out a pile of tv cable lines due to the cable companies putting in new lines over the years. Cut down the propane gas line and added more blocks and straightened out some existing blocks. Raked it and put down heavy plastic. Now its so nice to go under there if needed. Plenty of room except for about the last 15 feet and then it gets tight. Edit again.... didn't see even one bug or spider. I was grateful for that considering im in Florida. But ive bombed under the mobile home at least once every year which helps.

[@Drewsroofingandhomerepair]

Great story. Keep going. Your home is your home

[@solarsynapse]

Anybody that works under a mobile home is a hero!

[@Drewsroofingandhomerepair]

Thank you I don’t like doing it

[@Kiannamccully]

Lol me either. Me & my sister went under to patch where I had to get a pipe fixed and saw why my son’s room won’t stay cool or warm. There’s no insulation where the previous owners repaired the flooring in there so yay.

[@yavrum22]

God bless you both. Anybody that gets under a Mobile Home deserves a thumbs up ?!? I think you deserve it a standing ovation 👏👏👏👏👏👏. Really I mean like wow 😯 please do be careful.

[@Drewsroofingandhomerepair]

Thank you so much. We try to share our knowledge with everybody.

[@bobfrye8879]

Drew and Paul just made my day! When I heard that a vapor barrier wasn't necessary (and Drew alluded he wasn't a fan), it saved a few bucks and a shit ton of work! Thanks you gentlemen

[@Drewsroofingandhomerepair]

Awesomeness ground vapor barrier keeps everything wet

[@msweat]

I've lived in a number of mobile homes and I've had to get underneath them for one reason or another. I've NEVER seen one as low to the ground as the one you are working on. My claustrophobia would kick in big time if I had to be working on this one!

[@Drewsroofingandhomerepair]

It sucks for sure

[@GUNNYCANUCK]

Ahhhh feels like home to me, wicked tight under our 40 year old mobile. Will be taking notes, thanks guys!

[@Drewsroofingandhomerepair]

Thanks for watching

[@GUNNYCANUCK]

@@DrewsroofingandhomerepairThanks for posting all those helpful videos, they were a huge help this past weekend. We successfully replaced the bathroom, hallway and washer/dryer bay sub floor!

[@TarheelTad64]

That's a damn mess Mr Drew .....looks like it's gonna be a job to repair that

[@Drewsroofingandhomerepair]

I agree

[@willamettehops]

Paul is a trooper.

[@Drewsroofingandhomerepair]

Yes, he is

[@yavrum22]

Wow. I am speechless. You guys are truly amazing. And super brave

[@Drewsroofingandhomerepair]

Thank you so much!

[@daviddesmond2143]

2 years ago we had hurrican Ian and we had 4' of salt water in our lot. It was 8" above the inside floor and the particle board floor disintegrated. We repaired it but did not replace the underbelly and insulation. Last week we had Hurricane Heline which did not quite hit the underbelly and I am glad I did not replace it. I would like to use some insultaion board to insulate under the air conditioning ducts. This is a nasty job and surprised you do not have a painters coverall and particle mask on.

[@Drewsroofingandhomerepair]

Actually, for the most part, I did wear mine. Paul would not wear his, but to be honest I actually did wear mine most of the time.

[@jessicamckinnon1721]

I wore a suit for protection from spiders 😬 I hate getting under my house but sometimes I have to. I have respect for folks who do this for a living. I hate small spaces too.

[@Drewsroofingandhomerepair]

I hate crawling under houses or mobile homes for that matter, but I do it when I have to good idea to wear a suit because them spiders are creepy

[@dennisperusse3837]

One question that comes to mind is why are mobile homes so low to the ground in terms of their crawl spaces? You would think that they would be a little bit higher elevation just so that repairs could be easily done. Especially where the client replaced their underpinnings with block foundation. That would have been a perfect time to raise it up by one block. Fantastic job you two and looking forward to seeing the rest of the videos on this place. :)

[@Drewsroofingandhomerepair]

All I can say is it would be real nice if they would raise it up but generally they don’t they try to go as cheap as they can and less blocks is less money. Thanks for watching and I look forward to doing my best at these videos.

[@saraparker4082]

I may be purchasing a property with a mobile home. I am learning so much from your videos.

[@Drewsroofingandhomerepair]

Thank you. Glad to be a part of your adventure

[@bigcountryscrapper6885]

Great video my friend

[@Drewsroofingandhomerepair]

Hard work

[@leahhyer9448]

Great Job! My son and I are going to do the same thing.. After the weather changes.Expecting High Winds tomorrow and around an i.5 inches of rain.. Tree roots have overrun the drains here in this park and I know they don't want to do it but I think Rotary drain clearing is in order.

[@Drewsroofingandhomerepair]

Good luck! Agreed

[@timsongs203]

So much fun. My MH was much like that but the land is an incline. By the time I got to where all the damage was, the axles were still attached so we had to dig channels in from the side to repair the old insulation and ripped underbelly. Good luck!

[@Drewsroofingandhomerepair]

Oh no! That was a big project

[@tedpanes1865]

I feel your pain, guys. Been there, got the t- shirt. Keep on keeping on. I already know the plan. See you next.

[@Drewsroofingandhomerepair]

We got this for sure

[@bernardc2553]

Forget about Utube ran into This & I gotta say Drew & Paul are getter done guys doing ANY work under mobiles just takes Grit handshakes to both of you Now its back under I go..😢

[@Drewsroofingandhomerepair]

Thank you so much your comments are well appreciated

[@Yz_Redbeard]

About to start this project on my 20 yr old double wide. Ive watched several of your videos and im wondering if the underbelly is supposed to be drooped down like in most the videos ive seen? My intuition wants to install the under belly material tight against all the floor joists. The only reason i could think to it being drooped is to have more insulation stuffed inside of it. Awesome videos by the way. I did basement and crawlspace waterproofing for a few years and i feel all the pain involved with this kind of work

[@Drewsroofingandhomerepair]

They drop it down in order to get the hvac trunk line up in an insulated area. I tore mine out and re-insulated the floor joist and then built a box around my HVAC line and insulated that

[@Yz_Redbeard]

@@Drewsroofingandhomerepair yeah that makes sense. I didn't even consider that being the cause. Thanks for the reply. Subbed to your channel

[@Drewsroofingandhomerepair]

Thanks 🙏

[@CarolynLafleur-w7k]

I recently had a water leak and my insulation and underbelly was removed from my SW. A dehumidifier was put in and my crawl space was “contained”. No insulation or underbelly was reinstalled. I think I am losing heat and air. I get mixed answers as how to address this. Should I reinsulate and install a new underbelly? I live in Eastern NC and humidity levels are very high. I’m 65, single and fixed income. Any idea what I should expect to pay to have this done? Thank you so much. Wish you were near.

[@Drewsroofingandhomerepair]

I don’t care if you replace the underbelly, but the insulation does need to go back instead of putting the insulation in the underbelly like the Mobile Home Supply Pl. does do it like I do kzbin.info/www/bejne/rGK2l6mGr8apnNksi=gO_jJzu0cYGxb6nA

Do you feel the advance tech flooring is worth the extra cost, I’ve seen y’all use it in recent videos?

[@Drewsroofingandhomerepair]

That is all I will ever use

[@tricialock8203]

Is it ok to fixthe underbelly a section at a time? I don't have a lot of money but i really need to get it taken care of.

[@Drewsroofingandhomerepair]

Yes, you can and I hope this video helps you kzbin.info/www/bejne/qpfUqoeboaiFgKcfeature=shared

Awesome

[@timg2337]

Just wondering why you need an underbelly if it has a block skirt and vapor barrier?

[@Drewsroofingandhomerepair]

Optional

Looks like poly B water lines?
