Frequently Asked Questions

Summer storms in Michigan hit fast and hard, and a lot of the damage they leave behind isn't obvious at first glance. Homeowners usually check for the big stuff, like a torn shingle or a dented gutter, but several issues tend to slip through:

• Small punctures or lifted seams in the roof that let water in slowly over time
• Loose or compromised skirting that lets wind-driven rain reach the underside of the home
• Cracked or shifted vent covers, which are an easy entry point for moisture and pests
• Weakened seals around windows and doors
• Debris packed into gutters or downspouts, causing water to back up against the home

Because mobile and manufactured homes are built differently than site-built houses, damage in these areas can spread faster. We recommend a walk-around inspection after any significant storm, even if nothing looks obviously wrong.
