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

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
With sound workmanship in mind, pricing follows affected square footage.
Single section or multi section
With sound workmanship in mind, 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
With sound workmanship in mind, 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
Before the finish work begins, clearing and drying in floor ducts is straightforward.
Why timing matters
Before the finish work begins, water can keep moving into nearby materials even when the surface looks dry.
With sound workmanship in mind, once the panel swells and its bond fails, it stays swollen and weak no matter how long you dry it.
Before the finish work begins, 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.
So the repair lasts, small air volume means moisture saturates every room within hours, so there is no comfortable dry side to retreat to.
With sound workmanship in mind, standing water inside a supply duct or the crossover duct gets pushed through the home each time the system runs.
Helpful service information
With sound workmanship in mind, start with the short explanation. Before the finish work begins, open a card if you want a little more detail.
Floors are as a matter of course 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.
Before the finish work begins, 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.
So the repair lasts, 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 swiftly 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 swiftly and evaporation then stalls.

Common questions
Before the finish work begins, it depends entirely on the deck material. So the repair lasts, 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 sound workmanship in mind, as a national estimate, one wet room with a few days of drying routinely runs $900 to $2,500.
So the repair lasts, three reasons. For a job done right, the decking is often particleboard as opposed to plywood, and the walls are vinyl faced gypsum panels joined with battens as opposed to taped drywall.
With sound workmanship in mind, the bottom few inches are more often than not the problem, because panels sit on the deck and wick water upward.
So the repair lasts, that is a separate work plan from the work inside your home, and our under house water removal page covers it in full.
With sound workmanship in mind, extraction more often than not finishes in one to three hours. Before the finish work begins, drying then takes about three to five days for a typical loss, at times less because there is less material.
So the repair lasts, yes, and it is one of the most routinely missed steps. With sound workmanship in mind, 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.
