Signs to look for

When to call us for mobile home water damage

For a clear turnaround, 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

With each visible step, 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

As the property moves toward recovery, 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

With each visible step, 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 a clear turnaround, 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

Along the recovery roadmap, older homes with low slope metal roofs pond water at seams, vents and the edges.

The floor around the utility closet is discolored

For a clear turnaround, 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 recovery crew 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

As the property moves toward recovery, 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

Along the recovery roadmap, 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

As the property moves toward recovery, 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

Along the recovery roadmap, 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 a clear turnaround, 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

With each visible step, water that reaches an in floor supply duct sits there and gets blown through every room.

Understanding the cost

What can affect the price

For a clear turnaround, we explain the recommended work and price before you approve the job. For a clear turnaround, 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 dryingAs the property moves toward recovery, national estimate. Along the recovery roadmap, a supply line or fixture caught quickly, with little or no decking replacement.$900 to $2,500
Most of a single wide affected, clean waterAs the property moves toward recovery, national estimate. Along the recovery roadmap, 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 replacementAs the property moves toward recovery, national estimate. For a clear turnaround, water across the marriage line, two duct runs and significant decking and panel replacement.$6,000 to $18,000
Particleboard decking replacement, per square footFor a clear turnaround, national estimate for removing and replacing failed floor decking, before the finish flooring above it.$3 to $10
Wall panel replacement, per square footAs the property moves toward recovery, national estimate for vinyl covered gypsum panel sections including batten work. For a clear turnaround, older patterns may not be matchable.$2 to $6
Manufactured home work priced by affected area, clean waterAs the property moves toward recovery, national estimate. As the property moves toward recovery, 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 recovery roadmap.$800 to $3,500
After hours or overnight dispatch chargeAs the property moves toward recovery, national estimate. For a clear turnaround, one charge on the first visit, for nights, weekends and holidays.$100 to $400
  • What the deck is made of
    Along the recovery roadmap, 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
    As the property moves toward recovery, pricing follows affected square footage.

  • Single section or multi section
    As the property moves toward recovery, 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
    As the property moves toward recovery, supply line water is the least damaging case and saves the most material.

  • Wall panel count
    As the property moves toward recovery, panel replacement is priced by area and by how many batten lines have to be opened.

  • Duct involvement
    With each visible step, clearing and drying in floor ducts is straightforward.

Why timing matters

What can happen when the area stays wet

With each visible step, water can keep moving into nearby materials even when the surface looks dry.

Particleboard decking does not come back

As the property moves toward recovery, 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

With each visible step, 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 a clear turnaround, 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

As the property moves toward recovery, 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

As the property moves toward recovery, start with the short explanation. With each visible step, open a card if you want a little more detail.

What is happening inside the property

For a clear turnaround, floors are typically decked in particleboard over relatively shallow floor joists, glued and stapled as a system.

Read the explanation

Along the recovery roadmap, 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

With each visible step, 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 a clear turnaround, the vinyl face on a panel wall is the detail that catches inexperienced crews.

What may change the work

For a clear turnaround, 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.

For a clear turnaround, air volume is the quiet variable in a home this size. For a clear turnaround, 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?

With each visible step, it depends entirely on the deck material. For a clear turnaround, 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?

Along the recovery roadmap, 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 a clear turnaround, three reasons. Along the recovery roadmap, 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?

As the property moves toward recovery, 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?

That is a separate recovery roadmap 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?

As the property moves toward recovery, extraction usually finishes in one to three hours. For a clear turnaround, 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?

As the property moves toward recovery, yes, and it is one of the most commonly missed steps. As the property moves toward recovery, 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.
