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.

Our restoration specialists remove water and dries lightweight floors, walls, insulation, and underbelly materials commonly affected in mobile homes.
Signs to look for
For the written restoration scope, if you notice any of these problems, call us before water has more time to spread into nearby materials.
From the first moisture reading, most manufactured homes are decked in particleboard, which swells and loses its bond once it stays wet.
During our assessment, panel walls are joined with battens over the seams instead of taped and painted like drywall.
From the first moisture reading, vinyl covered gypsum panel walls sit directly on the decking, so they wick water upward from the floor.
For the written restoration scope, the seam where two sections join is the most common water entry point on a multi section home.
As our specialists document the loss, older homes with low slope metal roofs pond water at seams, vents and the edges.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
As our specialists document the loss, portable extractors and compact submersible pumps come through a 30 inch doorway and up a set of steps.
For the written restoration scope, many manufactured homes run a 100 amp service, which limits how much drying equipment the home can actually carry.
From the first moisture reading, water that reaches an in floor supply duct sits there and gets blown through every room.

Your callDuring our assessment, close the fixture valve, or the main at the lot pedestal if it is above ground and safe to reach.
+5 minutesDuring our assessment, keep people and heavy furniture off any soft area, because wet particleboard loses strength without delay.
+15 minutesAs our specialists document the loss, we confirm the deck material, the wall panel type, the marriage line if there is one, and where the ducts run.
On arrivalAs our specialists document the loss, water comes off hard flooring and out of carpet and padding, and contents get lifted and blocked. For the written restoration scope, deeper water is pumped first.
First hours on siteFor the written restoration scope, we tell you which decking sections, wall panels and cabinets are coming out and which are staying.
Same dayFor the written restoration scope, equipment is placed and the amperage counted before anyone drives away, so your service is not overloaded overnight.
Before we leaveUnderstanding the cost
We review with you the written restoration scope and price before you approve the job. These examples show what may change the estimate.

|---|---|---|
| One room of a manufactured home, clean water, extraction plus three to four days of drying | National estimate. A supply line or fixture caught without delay, with little or no decking replacement. | $900 to $2,500 |
| Most of a single wide affected, clean water | During our assessment, national estimate. As our specialists document the loss, 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 replacement | During our assessment, national estimate. For the written restoration scope, water across the marriage line, two duct runs and significant decking and panel replacement. | $6,000 to $18,000 |
| Particleboard decking replacement, per square foot | For the written restoration scope, national estimate for removing and replacing failed floor decking, before the finish flooring above it. | $3 to $10 |
| Wall panel replacement, per square foot | During our assessment, national estimate for vinyl covered gypsum panel sections including batten work. For the written restoration scope, older patterns may not be matchable. | $2 to $6 |
| Manufactured home work priced by affected area, clean water | National estimate. Handy once someone has measured the impacted area and given you a number. | $3 to $7 per square foot |
| Belly wrap drained, wet insulation out, underbelly repair coordinated | During our assessment, national estimate. During our assessment, priced and detailed on our under house water removal page, which owns that work plan. | $800 to $3,500 |

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
Moisture can keep moving into nearby materials even when the surface looks dry.
During our assessment, once the panel swells and its bond fails, it stays swollen and weak no matter how long you dry it.
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.
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.
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
First identify the short explanation. Open a card if you want a little more detail.
Floors are in many cases decked in particleboard over relatively shallow floor joists, glued and stapled as a system.
Manufactured homes are built to the federal HUD Code, which produces a very different set of materials from a site built house.
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.
For the written restoration scope, the vinyl face on a panel wall is the detail that catches inexperienced crews.
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.
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.

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