Signs to look for

When to call us for mobile home water damage

For the written restoration scope, 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

From the first moisture reading, 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

During our 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

From the first moisture reading, 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

For the written restoration scope, 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

As our specialists document the loss, older homes with low slope metal roofs pond water at seams, vents and the edges.

The floor around the utility closet is discolored

For the written restoration scope, the furnace and water heater in many cases share one interior closet sitting directly on the decking. During our assessment, a slow drip there soaks the panel under an appliance nobody moves.

What happens

How we handle mobile home water damage

Our restoration specialists adjust the work to the areas and materials involved, the measured reach of the water, and the materials that can be saved.

A construction read before any equipment comes off the truck

During our 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

As our specialists document the loss, 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

During our 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

As our specialists document the loss, 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

For the written restoration scope, 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

From the first moisture reading, water that reaches an in floor supply duct sits there and gets blown through every room.

After hours or overnight dispatch chargeDuring our assessment, national estimate. For the written restoration scope, one charge on the first visit, for nights, weekends and holidays.$100 to $400
  • What the deck is made of
    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
    During our assessment, pricing follows affected square footage.

  • Single section or multi section
    During our 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
    Supply line water is the least damaging case and saves the most material.

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

  • Duct involvement
    From the first moisture reading, clearing and drying in floor ducts is straightforward.

Why timing matters

What can happen when the area stays wet

Moisture can keep moving into nearby materials even when the surface looks dry.

Particleboard decking does not come back

During our 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

From the first moisture reading, 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

For the written restoration scope, 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

During our 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

First identify the short explanation. Open a card if you want a little more detail.

What is happening inside the property

Floors are in many cases decked in particleboard over relatively shallow floor joists, glued and stapled as a system.

Read the explanation

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

From the first moisture reading, 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

For the written restoration scope, the vinyl face on a panel wall is the detail that catches inexperienced crews.

What may change the work

A single section home holds a fraction of the air a two story house does, so evaporating water pushes relative humidity up very without delay and evaporation then stalls.

Read the explanation

Air volume is the quiet variable in a home this size. A single section home holds a fraction of the air a two story house does, so evaporating water pushes relative humidity up very without delay 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?

From the first moisture reading, it depends entirely on the deck material. For the written restoration scope, 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?

As our specialists document the loss, 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?

For the written restoration scope, three reasons. For the written restoration scope, the decking is commonly 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?

During our assessment, the bottom few inches are in many cases the problem, because panels sit on the deck and wick water upward.

What about the water under my home in the belly?

For the written restoration scope, that is a separate work 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?

During our assessment, extraction in many cases finishes in one to three hours. For the written restoration scope, 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?

During our assessment, yes, and it is one of the most commonly missed steps. During our 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.
