Signs to look for

When to call us for mobile home water damage

As materials are evaluated, if you notice any of these problems, call us before water has more time to spread into nearby materials.

A soft or spongy spot in the floor

For sound structural recovery, most manufactured homes are decked in particleboard, which swells and loses its bond once it stays wet.

A batten strip lifting or a wall seam opening

From the building building assessment, 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

For sound structural recovery, 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

As materials are evaluated, 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

Across the affected building area, older homes with low slope metal roofs pond water at seams, vents and the edges.

The floor around the utility closet is discolored

As materials are evaluated, 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 building 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

From the building building assessment, 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

Across the affected building area, 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

From the building building assessment, 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

Across the affected building area, 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

As materials are evaluated, 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

For sound structural recovery, water that reaches an in floor supply duct sits there and gets blown through every room.

What to expect

What to expect from our building recovery team

For sound structural recovery, here is how we usually handle mobile home water damage near Washington.

  1. 1

    You call and we ask about the home, not just the water

    As materials are evaluated, tell us the approximate age, whether it is a single wide or double wide, and where the water is showing.

    Your call
  2. 2

    Shutting the water off, including the utility closet

    From the building building assessment, close the fixture valve, or the main at the lot pedestal if it is above ground and safe to reach.

    +5 minutes
  3. 3

    Weight off the wet floor, and photos taken

    Across the affected building area, keep people and heavy furniture off any soft area, because wet particleboard loses strength quickly.

    +15 minutes

Understanding the cost

What can affect the price

As materials are evaluated, we explain the recommended work and price before you approve the job. As materials are evaluated, these examples show what may change the estimate.

Common situationWhat the estimate may includeTypical range
One room of a manufactured home, clean water, extraction plus three to four days of dryingFrom the building assessment, national estimate. Across the affected building area, a supply line or fixture caught quickly, with little or no decking replacement.$900 to $2,500
Most of a single wide affected, clean waterFrom the building assessment, national estimate. Across the affected building area, includes extraction, padding removal, wall panel bottom course work and five to seven days of equipment.$3,000 to $8,000
Double wide with several rooms and decking replacementFrom the building assessment, national estimate. As materials are evaluated, water across the marriage line, two duct runs and significant decking and panel replacement.$6,000 to $18,000
Particleboard decking replacement, per square footAs materials are evaluated, national estimate for removing and replacing failed floor decking, before the finish flooring above it.$3 to $10
Wall panel replacement, per square footFrom the building assessment, national estimate for vinyl covered gypsum panel sections including batten work. As materials are evaluated, older patterns may not be matchable.$2 to $6
Manufactured home work priced by affected area, clean waterFrom the building assessment, national estimate. From the building assessment, handy once someone has measured the wet area and given you a number.$3 to $7 per square foot
Belly wrap drained, wet insulation out, underbelly repair coordinatedNational estimate. Priced and detailed on our under house water removal page, which owns that construction-aware scope.$800 to $3,500
After hours or overnight dispatch chargeFrom the building assessment, national estimate. As materials are evaluated, one charge on the first visit, for nights, weekends and holidays.$100 to $400
  • What the deck is made of
    Across the affected building area, 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
    From the building assessment, pricing follows affected square footage.

  • Single section or multi section
    From the building assessment, 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
    From the building assessment, supply line water is the least damaging case and saves the most material.

  • Wall panel count
    From the building assessment, panel replacement is priced by area and by how many batten lines have to be opened.

  • Duct involvement
    For sound structural recovery, clearing and drying in floor ducts is straightforward.

Why timing matters

What can happen when the area stays wet

For sound structural recovery, water can keep moving into nearby materials even when the surface looks dry.

Particleboard decking does not come back

From the building building assessment, 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

For sound structural recovery, 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

As materials are evaluated, 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

From the building building assessment, 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

From the building assessment, start with the short explanation. For sound structural recovery, open a card if you want a little more detail.

What is happening inside the property

As materials are evaluated, floors are typically decked in particleboard over relatively shallow floor joists, glued and stapled as a system.

Read the explanation

Across the affected building area, 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

For sound structural recovery, 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.

Read the explanation

As materials are evaluated, the vinyl face on a panel wall is the detail that catches inexperienced crews.

What may change the work

As materials are evaluated, 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?

For sound structural recovery, it depends entirely on the deck material. As materials are evaluated, 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?

Across the affected building area, 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?

As materials are evaluated, three reasons. Across the affected building area, 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?

From the building building assessment, 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?

As materials are evaluated, that is a separate construction-aware scope 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?

From the building building assessment, extraction usually finishes in one to three hours. As materials are evaluated, 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?

From the building building assessment, yes, and it is one of the most commonly missed steps. From the building building assessment, 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.
