Signs to look for

When to call us for mobile home water damage

Room by room, 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

After you describe the problem, 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

To help your home recover, 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

After you describe the problem, 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

Room by room, 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

For a practical next step, older homes with low slope metal roofs pond water at seams, vents and the edges.

The floor around the utility closet is discolored

Room by room, 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 home 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

To help your home recover, 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

For a practical next step, 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

To help your home recover, 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

For a practical next step, 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

Room by room, 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

After you describe the problem, water that reaches an in floor supply duct sits there and gets blown through every room.

What to expect

What to expect from our home recovery team

To help your home recover, here is how we usually handle mobile home water damage near Iowa.

  1. 1

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

    Room by room, 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

    To help your home recover, 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

    For a practical next step, keep people and heavy furniture off any soft area, because wet particleboard loses strength quickly.

    +15 minutes
  4. 4

    Construction walkthrough and material identification

    For a practical next step, we confirm the deck material, the wall panel type, the marriage line if there is one, and where the ducts run.

    On arrival
  5. 5

    Extraction while the home is still clear

    For a practical next step, water comes off hard flooring and out of carpet and padding, and contents get lifted and blocked.

    First hours on site
  6. 6

    The material decision, given out loud

    Room by room, we tell you which decking sections, wall panels and cabinets are coming out and which are staying.

    Same day

    Equipment set within the home's electrical capacity

    Room by room, equipment is placed and the amperage counted before anyone drives away, so your service is not overloaded overnight.

    Before we leave

Understanding the cost

What can affect the price

Room by room, we explain the recommended work and price before you approve the job. Room by room, 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 dryingTo help your home recover, national estimate. For a practical next step, a supply line or fixture caught quickly, with little or no decking replacement.$900 to $2,500
Most of a single wide affected, clean waterTo help your home recover, national estimate. For a practical next step, 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 replacementTo help your home recover, national estimate. Room by room, water across the marriage line, two duct runs and significant decking and panel replacement.$6,000 to $18,000
Particleboard decking replacement, per square footRoom by room, national estimate for removing and replacing failed floor decking, before the finish flooring above it.$3 to $10
Wall panel replacement, per square footTo help your home recover, national estimate for vinyl covered gypsum panel sections including batten work. Room by room, older patterns may not be matchable.$2 to $6
Manufactured home work priced by affected area, clean waterTo help your home recover, national estimate. To help your home recover, 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 plan.$800 to $3,500
After hours or overnight dispatch chargeTo help your home recover, national estimate. Room by room, one charge on the first visit, for nights, weekends and holidays.$100 to $400
  • What the deck is made of
    For a practical next step, 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
    To help your home recover, pricing follows affected square footage.

  • Single section or multi section
    To help your home recover, 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
    To help your home recover, supply line water is the least damaging case and saves the most material.

  • Wall panel count
    To help your home recover, panel replacement is priced by area and by how many batten lines have to be opened.

  • Duct involvement
    After you describe the problem, clearing and drying in floor ducts is straightforward.

Why timing matters

What can happen when the area stays wet

After you describe the problem, water can keep moving into nearby materials even when the surface looks dry.

Particleboard decking does not come back

To help your home recover, 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

After you describe the problem, 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

Room by room, 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

To help your home recover, 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

To help your home recover, start with the short explanation. After you describe the problem, open a card if you want a little more detail.

What is happening inside the property

Room by room, floors are typically decked in particleboard over relatively shallow floor joists, glued and stapled as a system.

Read the explanation

For a practical next step, 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

After you describe the problem, 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

Room by room, the vinyl face on a panel wall is the detail that catches inexperienced crews. After you describe the problem, 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.

What may change the work

Room by room, 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.

Room by room, air volume is the quiet variable in a home this size. Room by room, 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?

After you describe the problem, it depends entirely on the deck material. Room by room, 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?

For a practical next step, 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?

Room by room, three reasons. For a practical next step, 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?

To help your home recover, 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?

Room by room, that is a separate recovery 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?

To help your home recover, extraction usually finishes in one to three hours. Room by room, 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?

To help your home recover, yes, and it is one of the most commonly missed steps. To help your home recover, 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.
