Simple Steps How to Re-level a Mobile Home

Are you interested in learning how to re-level a mobile home or trailer house? If you are please read on and I will try and explain all the steps in detail the best I know-how.

First, you will need a few essential tools to get started, here is a list:

  1. Water level
  2. One 15 to the 20-ton hydraulic jack
  3. A pair of coveralls
  4. Leather gloves
  5. Hammer
  6. Extra blocks, 4” x 8” x 16”, 8” x 8” x 16”
  7. 4”x 12” or 4” x 16” wedges
  8. Flashlight or headlamp

Water Level Is Important to Re-Level a Mobile Home

Set up your water level (another article). Take the water level and start by checking all the outside corners and the middle of each beam’s length and find the high spot.  Once you establish the highest point you need to begin working to jack the entire home up a level to this.  If the home is more than an inch out of level, you will need to use more precautions.

We have witnessed some homes up to 8” out of level due to slabs settling under poorly compacted soils.  Homes with this much work to bring to level may require a second day and may require a slab jacking company to aid in filling voids under the slab with grout (Usually this is not the norm).  Furthermore, you may need to remove some mobile home skirting.

Your home may only require minor adjustments as do most that have been set up for several years.  Start jacking from the area that makes the most sense which is usually from the highest point working outward toward the lowest point.  Use blocks and wedges to secure the home at the correct level.  If using a water level make sure that all the air bubbles are out of the line (hint: use a little surfactant in the water).

Keep An Eye Out for Other Problems

When you are under the home use the flashlight to check heat ducts, water lines for leaks, and underbelly wrap for holes.  Any repair that is made to these things can save a homeowner hundreds if not thousands of dollars.  Water leaks are usually the cause of tremendous ground settling.

During and after you finish leveling the home; check the tie-downs to make sure they are all secure.  Let the homeowner know any of your findings so they can make informed decisions on their homes’ repair and costs.

Before Buying Park Model Underpinning

Before Buying Park Model Underpinning

Nov 16, 2013

Do You Own a Park Model Home? You Need Park Model Underpinning

Let’s talk about Park Model underpinning especially if you own a Park Model home. Moreover, considering your choices of products can be a fun beginning. Also, with all the choices there are advantages and disadvantages to various types of underpinning. Additionally, the most obvious advantage would be styling.

There are many styles of underpinning from rugged to sleek even rocky. In addition, some styles offer a seamless look enhancing the overall appearance of your Park Model Home. Obviously, homes without underpinning are at a huge disadvantage.

Homes without underpinning do not regulate the temperature properly. Furthermore, among other disadvantages is appearance, rodents, and weather damages. Clearly, it is easy to see that these homes look so much nicer installing the proper underpinning.

Nothing begins brightening up the look of a Park Model Home better than installing brand-new park model underpinning technology. So, selecting a Park Model underpinning constructed from durable, high-quality materials. As well, picking a product that doesn’t scratch easily, dent, peel, or burn. Yes, some are even flame resistant.

Maintaining Park Model Underpinning

Another important consideration is properly maintaining the park model underpinning. Also, the best styles being produced use high-quality concrete. Likewise, this underpinning helps to regulate the temperature, very much like insulation in the walls of the home.

Also, allowing the home to stay cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter. Besides, concrete underpinning also is great at preventing problems with wild animals taking shelter under the home.

Therefore, the underpinning needs to deter pests such as wasp or hornets nesting under the home. Not to mention, dogs and cats finding their way under the home chewing through duct-work

or damaging belly wrap.

Winter Considerations for Underpinning

During the extremes of winter, underpinning prevents the homes’ pipes from freezing. Most noteworthy, today’s underpinning will not rust nor corrode. Still, the latest technology is resistant to all weather conditions.

For instance, choosing a Park Model skirting or underpinning that requires practically no maintenance is best. Because, once it is installed on a home, the cleaning of this beautiful skirting is as easy as using soap and water.

Buying an Underpinning Kit

When purchasing a park model skirting package, it is important to determine its dimensions. Begin by measuring the length, and width of the home, then the height of the skirting. Foremost, simply to determining the height by measuring the distance between the slab and ground.

Then, measuring the distance of the Park Model Home from corner to corner to determine the length of each side. Finally, totally all sides distance to ascertain the lineal footage necessary for ordering.  Lastly, the more credible businesses charge a lineal footage rate based on the length of the underpinning.

Choose Underpinning with Good Installation Instructions

As well, it is important choosing a company that has great customer service. Foremost, the reasons being you may need to have questions answered along the way requiring an expert’s advice. An underpinning, such as DURASKIRT™ will go a long way in helping with your success.

Remember, a properly installing underpinning or skirting will increase the value of the Park Model Home and the attractiveness.  More so, there are limitless styles, and prices to choose from.  Be aware, few types have warranties covering their products for use as underpinning.

In conclusion, anyone with a Park Model Home should be considering purchasing or upgrading to one of the styles offering the latest in Park Model Skirting technology like DURASKIRT™.

Rock skirting is a trending choice for mobile home skirting. Other popular choices too, are more like traditional houses. Moreover, they’re still mobile homes because you can move with them anywhere.

Furthermore, like other magnificent homes with a more traditional feel?  If this is your question, there is a simple answer to it— rock skirting or the site-built look.

Rock skirting for mobile homes is a different feature. However, to give the same aesthetic appearance as the residential home you need a more traditional look.  Best of all this more traditional smooth concrete skirting helps prevent animals from intruding your home. Unlike, plastic stone skirting or rock skirting which comes with varying colors of real rocks, although still plastic.

Comparatively, these varying color shades work together to refine the look and give a majestic appearance to your home. Never the same, but similar, they come in mufti-shades like ash color, brick red color, marble white color, and many more. They are affordable and easy to install. Nevertheless, these rock skirting are plastic and thus rapidly deteriorating.

Stone skirting providers, who sell these kinds of products, should use the best-branded and tested products. However, if you find out that you need stone skirting products, you can get them at any e-commerce website that offers affordable and reliable products.
