After the Storm: Your Home Needs You
Hello, Tampa Bay neighbors! You know that feeling of relief when a storm finally passes over our beautiful Gulf Coast? While we're all thankful when the winds die down, those of us at Florida Vapor Barrier know that the work is just beginning – especially for our friends in communities like Regency Oaks, Americana Cove, and across St. Petersburg, Clearwater, and Bradenton.
Just like you wouldn't ignore a leaky roof in this Florida heat, you can't ignore what might be happening underneath your mobile home after a storm. Trust me, I've seen what our tropical weather can do!
Under Your Home: Where Problems Hide
Picture this: Sarah over at Americana Cove called us last month after noticing a musty smell in her home after Helene & Milton. "Oh, it's probably nothing," she thought. Turns out, her vapor barrier had more holes than a slice of Swiss cheese, and moisture was having a field day under her home!
Here's what could be lurking under your home right now:
Standing water playing hide and seek
Vapor barriers doing the Florida flip-flop
Insulation soaking up moisture like a sponge
Support piers wobbling more than a flamingo on one leg
Small Issues Today, Big Problems Tomorrow
Let me share something from right here in Pinellas County. Bob and Jean from Dunedin thought that little puddle under their home would evaporate in our Florida sun. Well, three weeks later, their living room floor was softer than a ripe avocado, and their AC was working harder than a snowbird trying to learn pickleball!
Here's what we often see when folks wait too long:
Floors that feel like walking on a waterbed
Mold growing faster than gossip at the community pool
Energy bills higher than a pelican in flight
Tie-downs looser than a pair of pants after Thanksgiving dinner
Your Post-Storm Inspection Checklist
After any storm, here's what needs checking (and why we'd love to do it for you):
Vapor barrier integrity (your home's umbrella)
Moisture levels (we don't want any indoor swamps!)
Support piers (keeping you level and steady)
Tie-downs (because your home shouldn't shimmy and shake)
Insulation condition (keeping you cool without breaking the bank)
Ventilation systems (breathing easy is important)
