Signs to look for
When to call us for mobile home water damage
Room by room, if you notice any of these problems, call us before water has more time to spread into nearby materials.
A batten strip lifting or a wall seam opening
To help your home recover, panel walls are joined with battens over the seams instead of taped and painted like drywall.
A wall panel bowing outward or feeling soft at the bottom
After you describe the problem, vinyl covered gypsum panel walls sit directly on the decking, so they wick water upward from the floor.
Staining along the marriage line of a double wide
Room by room, the seam where two sections join is the most common water entry point on a multi section home.
Rings or sagging around a ceiling seam or roof vent
For a practical next step, older homes with low slope metal roofs pond water at seams, vents and the edges.
The floor around the utility closet is discolored
Room by room, the furnace and water heater usually share one interior closet sitting directly on the decking.
What happens
How we handle mobile home water damage
Our home recovery team adjusts the work to what got wet, how far the water traveled, and which materials can be saved.
A construction read before any equipment comes off the truck
To help your home recover, we note the home's age, whether it is a single wide or a double wide, and what the deck and the walls are actually made of.
An honest decking decision on day one
For a practical next step, particleboard decking that has swelled or lost its bond does not come back, and drying it longer will not change that.
Wall panels handled as panels, not as drywall
To help your home recover, panel walls come apart at the battens and the bottom course, which lets us dry the wall cavity without wrecking the whole room.
Extraction sized for narrow doors and light floors
For a practical next step, portable extractors and compact submersible pumps come through a 30 inch doorway and up a set of steps.
Electrical service checked before equipment goes in
Room by room, many manufactured homes run a 100 amp service, which limits how much drying equipment the home can actually carry.
Floor ducts and the crossover duct checked
After you describe the problem, water that reaches an in floor supply duct sits there and gets blown through every room.

What the deck is made of
For a practical next step, particleboard decking that has swelled has to be replaced, and that is labor plus material plus flooring above it.How much of the home is wet
To help your home recover, pricing follows affected square footage.Single section or multi section
To help your home recover, a double wide is roughly twice the area and adds the marriage line as both a leak path and a drying boundary.How clean the water was
To help your home recover, supply line water is the least damaging case and saves the most material.Wall panel count
To help your home recover, panel replacement is priced by area and by how many batten lines have to be opened.Duct involvement
After you describe the problem, clearing and drying in floor ducts is straightforward.
Why timing matters
What can happen when the area stays wet
After you describe the problem, water can keep moving into nearby materials even when the surface looks dry.
Particleboard decking does not come back
To help your home recover, once the panel swells and its bond fails, it stays swollen and weak no matter how long you dry it.
Panel walls hold moisture behind a sealed face
After you describe the problem, the vinyl film on these panels is effectively a vapor barrier on the room side, so moisture cannot escape toward the air you are drying.
The whole home reaches high humidity, not just the wet room
Room by room, small air volume means moisture saturates every room within hours, so there is no comfortable dry side to retreat to.
Water in the floor ducts recirculates through every room
To help your home recover, standing water inside a supply duct or the crossover duct gets pushed through the home each time the system runs.
Helpful service information
What to know about mobile home water damage
To help your home recover, start with the short explanation. After you describe the problem, open a card if you want a little more detail.
What is happening inside the property
Room by room, floors are typically decked in particleboard over relatively shallow floor joists, glued and stapled as a system.
Read the explanation
For a practical next step, manufactured homes are built to the federal HUD Code, which produces a very different set of materials from a site built house.
How the next step is decided
After you describe the problem, that film behaves like a vapor barrier on the room side, so moisture in the gypsum core cannot escape toward the dry air you are creating in the room.

Room by room, the vinyl face on a panel wall is the detail that catches inexperienced crews. After you describe the problem, that film behaves like a vapor barrier on the room side, so moisture in the gypsum core cannot escape toward the dry air you are creating in the room.
What may change the work
Room by room, a single section home holds a fraction of the air a two story house does, so evaporating water pushes relative humidity up very quickly and evaporation then stalls.

Common questions
Questions about mobile home water damage
Can a soft floor in a mobile home be dried instead of replaced?
After you describe the problem, it depends entirely on the deck material. Room by room, most manufactured homes use particleboard decking, and once it has swelled or lost its bond it does not recover, so those sections come out.
How much does mobile home water damage repair cost?
For a practical next step, as a national estimate, one wet room with a few days of drying commonly runs $900 to $2,500.
Why are manufactured homes different from regular houses for water damage?
Room by room, three reasons. For a practical next step, the decking is often particleboard rather than plywood, and the walls are vinyl faced gypsum panels joined with battens rather than taped drywall.
Can the wall panels be saved?
To help your home recover, the bottom few inches are usually the problem, because panels sit on the deck and wick water upward.
What about the water under my home in the belly?
Room by room, that is a separate recovery plan from the work inside your home, and our under house water removal page covers it in full.
How long does a manufactured home take to dry?
To help your home recover, extraction usually finishes in one to three hours. Room by room, drying then takes about three to five days for a typical loss, sometimes less because there is less material.
Do you check the floor ducts?
To help your home recover, yes, and it is one of the most commonly missed steps. To help your home recover, supply ducts run inside the floor and the crossover duct links the sections on a double wide, so water sits in them and gets blown through the home.
