A soft or spongy spot in the floor
As each stage is completed, most manufactured homes are decked in particleboard, which swells and loses its bond once it stays wet.

Our professional recovery team removes water and dries lightweight floors, walls, insulation, and underbelly materials commonly affected in mobile homes.
Signs to look for
For a professional recovery, if you notice any of these problems, call us before water has more time to spread into nearby materials.
As each stage is completed, most manufactured homes are decked in particleboard, which swells and loses its bond once it stays wet.
Through an organized response, panel walls are joined with battens over the seams instead of taped and painted like drywall.
As each stage is completed, vinyl covered gypsum panel walls sit directly on the decking, so they wick water upward from the floor.
For a professional recovery, the seam where two sections join is the most common water entry point on a multi section home.
With a durable result in mind, older homes with low slope metal roofs pond water at seams, vents and the edges.
For a professional recovery, the furnace and water heater usually share one interior closet sitting directly on the decking.
What happens
Our professional recovery team adjusts the work to what got wet, how far the water traveled, and which materials can be saved.
Through an organized response, 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.
With a durable result in mind, particleboard decking that has swelled or lost its bond does not come back, and drying it longer will not change that.
Through an organized response, panel walls come apart at the battens and the bottom course, which lets us dry the wall cavity without wrecking the whole room.
With a durable result in mind, portable extractors and compact submersible pumps come through a 30 inch doorway and up a set of steps.
For a professional recovery, many manufactured homes run a 100 amp service, which limits how much drying equipment the home can actually carry.
As each stage is completed, water that reaches an in floor supply duct sits there and gets blown through every room.

What to expect
As each stage is completed, here is how we usually handle mobile home water damage near Wyoming.
For a professional recovery, tell us the approximate age, whether it is a single wide or double wide, and where the water is showing.
Your callThrough an organized response, close the fixture valve, or the main at the lot pedestal if it is above ground and safe to reach.
+5 minutesWith a durable result in mind, keep people and heavy furniture off any soft area, because wet particleboard loses strength quickly.
+15 minutesWith a durable result in mind, we confirm the deck material, the wall panel type, the marriage line if there is one, and where the ducts run.
On arrivalWith a durable result in mind, water comes off hard flooring and out of carpet and padding, and contents get lifted and blocked.
First hours on siteFor a professional recovery, we tell you which decking sections, wall panels and cabinets are coming out and which are staying.
Same dayFor a professional recovery, equipment is placed and the amperage counted before anyone drives away, so your service is not overloaded overnight.
Before we leaveUnderstanding the cost
For a professional recovery, we explain the recommended work and price before you approve the job. For a professional recovery, these examples show what may change the estimate.
| Common situation | What the estimate may include | Typical range |
|---|---|---|
| One room of a manufactured home, clean water, extraction plus three to four days of drying | Through an organized response, national estimate. With a durable result in mind, a supply line or fixture caught quickly, with little or no decking replacement. | $900 to $2,500 |
| Most of a single wide affected, clean water | Through an organized response, national estimate. With a durable result in mind, 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 | Through an organized response, national estimate. For a professional recovery, 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 a professional recovery, national estimate for removing and replacing failed floor decking, before the finish flooring above it. | $3 to $10 |
| Wall panel replacement, per square foot | Through an organized response, national estimate for vinyl covered gypsum panel sections including batten work. For a professional recovery, older patterns may not be matchable. | $2 to $6 |
| Manufactured home work priced by affected area, clean water | Through an organized response, national estimate. Through an organized response, 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 coordinated | National estimate. Priced and detailed on our under house water removal page, which owns that professional plan. | $800 to $3,500 |
| After hours or overnight dispatch charge | Through an organized response, national estimate. For a professional recovery, one charge on the first visit, for nights, weekends and holidays. | $100 to $400 |
What the deck is made of
With a durable result in mind, 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
Through an organized response, pricing follows affected square footage.
Single section or multi section
Through an organized response, 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
Through an organized response, supply line water is the least damaging case and saves the most material.
Wall panel count
Through an organized response, panel replacement is priced by area and by how many batten lines have to be opened.
Duct involvement
As each stage is completed, clearing and drying in floor ducts is straightforward.
Why timing matters
As each stage is completed, water can keep moving into nearby materials even when the surface looks dry.
Through an organized response, once the panel swells and its bond fails, it stays swollen and weak no matter how long you dry it.
As each stage is completed, 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 a professional recovery, small air volume means moisture saturates every room within hours, so there is no comfortable dry side to retreat to.
Through an organized response, standing water inside a supply duct or the crossover duct gets pushed through the home each time the system runs.
Helpful service information
Through an organized response, start with the short explanation. As each stage is completed, open a card if you want a little more detail.
For a professional recovery, floors are typically decked in particleboard over relatively shallow floor joists, glued and stapled as a system.
With a durable result in mind, manufactured homes are built to the federal HUD Code, which produces a very different set of materials from a site built house.
As each stage is completed, 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 a professional recovery, the vinyl face on a panel wall is the detail that catches inexperienced crews.
For a professional recovery, 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 professional recovery, air volume is the quiet variable in a home this size. For a professional recovery, 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.

As each stage is completed, it depends entirely on the deck material. For a professional recovery, most manufactured homes use particleboard decking, and once it has swelled or lost its bond it does not recover, so those sections come out.
With a durable result in mind, as a national estimate, one wet room with a few days of drying commonly runs $900 to $2,500.
For a professional recovery, three reasons. With a durable result in mind, the decking is often particleboard rather than plywood, and the walls are vinyl faced gypsum panels joined with battens rather than taped drywall.
Through an organized response, the bottom few inches are usually the problem, because panels sit on the deck and wick water upward.
With a durable result in mind, that is a separate professional plan from the work inside your home, and our under house water removal page covers it in full.
Through an organized response, extraction usually finishes in one to three hours. For a professional recovery, drying then takes about three to five days for a typical loss, sometimes less because there is less material.
Through an organized response, yes, and it is one of the most commonly missed steps. Through an organized response, 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.
