Signs to look for

When to call us for mobile home water damage

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

Most manufactured homes are decked in particleboard, which swells and loses its bond once it stays wet. Softness means the panel is already failing rather than merely damp.

A batten strip lifting or a wall seam opening

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

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

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

Older homes with low slope metal roofs pond water at seams, vents and the edges. Newer shingled roofs leak at penetrations.

The floor around the utility closet is discolored

The furnace and water heater usually share one interior closet sitting directly on the decking. A slow drip there soaks the panel under an appliance nobody moves.

What happens

How we handle mobile home water damage

Our 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

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

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

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

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

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

Water that reaches an in floor supply duct sits there and gets blown through every room.

  2. 2

    Shutting the water off, including the utility closet

    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

    Keep people and heavy furniture off any soft area, because wet particleboard loses strength quickly.

    Construction walkthrough and material identification

    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

    Water comes off hard flooring and out of carpet and padding, and contents get lifted and blocked. Deeper water is pumped first.

    First hours on site
  6. 6

    The material decision, given out loud

    We tell you which decking sections, wall panels and cabinets are coming out and which are staying.

    Same day

Understanding the cost

What can affect the price

We explain the recommended work and price before you approve the job. 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 dryingNational estimate. A supply line or fixture caught quickly, with little or no decking replacement.$900 to $2,500
Most of a single wide affected, clean waterNational estimate. 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 replacementNational estimate. Water across the marriage line, two duct runs and significant decking and panel replacement.$6,000 to $18,000
Particleboard decking replacement, per square footNational estimate for removing and replacing failed floor decking, before the finish flooring above it.$3 to $10
Wall panel replacement, per square footNational estimate for vinyl covered gypsum panel sections including batten work. Older patterns may not be matchable.$2 to $6
Manufactured home work priced by affected area, clean waterNational estimate. 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 work plan.$800 to $3,500
After hours or overnight dispatch chargeNational estimate. One charge on the first visit, for nights, weekends and holidays.$100 to $400
  • 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
    Pricing follows affected square footage. In a single wide, one wet room is a large share of the home, which is why percentages feel different here.

  • Single section or multi section
    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
    Panel replacement is priced by area and by how many batten lines have to be opened. Removing the bottom course of several rooms costs less than replacing full height panels.

  • Duct involvement
    Clearing and drying in floor ducts is straightforward. Replacing a collapsed or contaminated duct section, including a crossover duct, means working under the home.

Why timing matters

What can happen when the area stays wet

Water can keep moving into nearby materials even when the surface looks dry.

Particleboard decking does not come back

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

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

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

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

Start with the short explanation. Open a card if you want a little more detail.

What is happening inside the property

Floors are typically decked in particleboard over relatively shallow floor joists, glued and stapled as a system.

Read the explanation

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

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

The vinyl face on a panel wall is the detail that catches inexperienced crews. 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

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?

It depends entirely on the deck material. 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?

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?

Three reasons. 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?

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 work 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?

Extraction usually finishes in one to three hours. 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?

Yes, and it is one of the most commonly missed steps. 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.
