I live in a small 1985 trailer. We noticed that in our bedroom closet the wall is wet. I had to remove all the blankets I had stacked in it. There is not enough insulation. And how do I fix it?
Step 1
Look and make sure the home is on a concrete slab.
Step 2
If it is not, put a plastic sheet under the trailer. Hold it down with rocks.
Step 3
Remove a piece of panelling , the plastic should be visible.
Step 4
If your home does not have a plastic barrier, install one.
Step 5
Check for roof vents you need air circulating properly.
Step 6
Stop using a humidifier, as it creates moisture in the air.
You are going to need to buy insulation and install this in the back of your closet behind the paneling. You can either do this from the outside of the trailer or inside the closet itself. You might want to look first at the closet paneling and see if it is easy to remove or not.
Mobile homes are often not as insulated or moisture proof as a conventional home. This can cause mold and mildew to grow inside walls or in bathrooms or kitchen areas.
