Frequently Asked Questions

Water leaks in mobile homes can cause significant damage, leading to warped flooring, mold growth, and structural deterioration. Some of the most common causes include:

• Roof Leaks – Damaged or missing shingles, worn-out sealant around vents, or poor flashing installation can allow water to seep through the roof.
• Plumbing Issues – Older mobile homes may have polybutylene (PB) pipes, which are prone to cracking and leaks. Leaks often occur under sinks, in walls, or around water heaters.
• Window and Door Seals – Worn-out weather stripping or improperly sealed windows and doors can allow rainwater to enter, especially during storms.
• Damaged or Clogged Gutters – If gutters and downspouts are blocked or missing, water may pool around the foundation, increasing the risk of leaks into the subfloor.
• Weak or Loose Siding – Cracks, holes, or loose siding panels can allow moisture to seep into the walls, leading to water damage and mold.
• Skirting Issues – If mobile home skirting is missing, cracked, or improperly installed, it can allow excessive moisture underneath the home, leading to condensation and leaks in the subfloor.

Regular inspections of your roof, plumbing, gutters, and seals can help you catch leaks early before they lead to expensive repairs.
