Mobile and Manufactured Home Water Extraction Nationwide

Mobile and Manufactured Homes: What the Crew Does

Mobile and manufactured homes are built lighter than site-built houses. Floors sit on a steel frame with a belly of insulation below, walls are thin and ducts often run through the floor.

Crews handle mobile home belly water, mobile home floor water damage, plumbing leaks and ceiling leaks. Water falls into the belly and stays there, soaking insulation and decking from below.

Call USA Water Extraction Pros at (888) 902-1696, 24/7. The crew knows where water hides in these homes.

• Water category: Category 1 from plumbing, Category 2 or 3 from storms
• Usually removed: Belly insulation, soaked flooring, wet ceiling board
• Drying class: Class 2, thin floors and walls
• Typical dry-out: Three to six days

Signs Water Is Hiding in a Mobile Home

• Floors that feel soft or sag near a bath or kitchen
• Belly wrap hanging or bulging under the home
• Ceiling stains under roof seams or vents
• Doors that stick as the floor moves
• A musty smell from vents or under the skirting

How a Crew Dries a Mobile Home

1. Find the water

   The technician checks the belly, skirting, floor decking and ducts with meters and a thermal camera.

2. Open and drain

   Crews cut a small opening in the belly wrap to drain trapped water and pull out the soaked insulation.

3. Remove what is soaked

   Wet flooring, underlayment and ceiling board come out where drying cannot reach.

4. Dry the home

   Air movers and dehumidifiers run inside and under the home until floors, walls and ducts read dry.

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

• Shut off the water at the main valve outside or the shutoff under the home.
• Keep out of the belly and crawl area if water could touch wiring.
• Move belongings off the floor, especially in bedrooms and bathrooms.
• Leave the furnace and A/C off if floor ducts are wet.
• Photograph the floors, ceiling stains and the skirting.

What to Expect From the Crew

• Built for thin floors

  Crews watch floor decking closely, since it does not tolerate long soaking.

• Belly know-how

  Water trapped in the underbelly is drained and dried before it can keep soaking the floor from below.

• Documentation for the claim

  Photos of the belly, floor and ceiling, plus daily readings, go into the file.

Insurance Records for Mobile and Manufactured Home Water Extraction

Condo losses can involve the association's master policy and the owner's own unit policy. Bylaws and policy wording decide which one pays for drywall, floors and cabinets. The crew's drying records help both adjusters divide the damage.

Coverage depends on your policy, so check with your own insurer.
