How do I know if my mobile home needs to be releveled?

There are several signs that can indicate a mobile home may be out of level.

You may notice:

  • Uneven or sloping floors

  • Doors that don't close properly

  • Windows that become difficult to open or close

  • Cracks around doors, windows, walls, or ceilings

  • Gaps appearing in certain areas

  • A noticeable change in the way the home feels underfoot

These signs can have different causes, so an inspection can help determine what is actually happening underneath the home.

What is a vapor barrier and why does a mobile home need one?

A vapor barrier is a moisture-resistant layer installed over the ground in a crawl space. It helps reduce moisture vapor coming from the soil into the space underneath the home.

Even in Arizona's dry climate, moisture can still become a concern because of rain, plumbing leaks, groundwater, and other conditions.

If your vapor barrier is torn, missing, deteriorated, or no longer covering the ground properly, it may need to be repaired or replaced.

Can you repair a damaged vapor barrier, or does it need to be replaced?

It depends on the condition of the existing barrier.

If the material is generally in good condition and only certain areas are damaged, a repair may be possible. If the barrier is severely damaged, deteriorated, or missing large sections, replacement may make more sense.

An inspection can help determine which option is appropriate for your mobile home.

What are signs of a problem underneath my mobile home?

Some crawl space and support problems are easy to miss because they are underneath the home.

Signs to watch for include:

  • Musty odors

  • Damp areas

  • Torn or missing vapor barrier

  • Uneven floors

  • Doors or windows that suddenly don't work properly

  • Damaged or loose supports

  • Standing water

  • Damaged insulation

  • Ductwork problems

  • Damaged or missing skirting

If you notice something unusual, getting it checked can help you understand the cause before the problem becomes more extensive.

Do you repair or replace mobile home skirting?

Yes. We provide mobile home skirting repair and installation.

Skirting can become damaged from weather, animals, landscaping work, age, or other causes. Depending on the condition, we can repair damaged sections or replace the skirting when a larger replacement is needed.

Do you install mobile home tie-downs?

Yes. We install mobile home tie-down systems, including Xi2 systems and vertical tie-downs/straps, depending on the home's requirements.

If your mobile home was never properly anchored, has damaged tie-downs, or needs additional anchoring, contact us to discuss the work needed.

Do you inspect crawl spaces?

Yes. Crawl space inspections can help identify issues underneath your mobile home that may not be visible from inside the home.

Depending on the situation, we can look for conditions involving the vapor barrier, supports, insulation, ductwork, moisture, debris, skirting, and other accessible areas.

An inspection can be especially useful when you're noticing changes in your home but aren't sure what is causing them.

Do you repair mobile home ductwork?

We provide crawl space ductwork repairs. If you have damaged or disconnected ductwork underneath your mobile home, we can inspect the area and determine what repair may be needed.

We focus on crawl space ductwork and do not provide general HVAC or air-conditioning repair.

Can you clean debris out from underneath a mobile home?

Yes. We provide crawl space debris and trash cleanout services.

Removing debris from underneath the home can make the crawl space easier to inspect and maintain and can help identify other issues that may have been hidden by accumulated materials.

Do you install access hatches and crawl space vents?

Yes. We install and repair access hatches and can install air vents where needed.

Proper access makes it easier to inspect and maintain the area underneath your mobile home.

Do you work on regular homes too?

Yes. In addition to mobile home services, Desert Mobile Home Services also handles certain remodeling and repair work for regular homes, including bathrooms, kitchens, flooring, drywall, cabinets, painting, windows, and handrails.

Contact us with your project details so we can determine whether it is a service we provide.

How much does mobile home repair cost?

There isn't one set price for every mobile home repair.

The cost depends on the type of work, the size of the area, the condition of the home, materials needed, accessibility, and the amount of repair required.

For that reason, we recommend having the work evaluated so you can receive an estimate based on your specific mobile home.

Do you offer inspections before repairs?

Yes. When the problem isn't clear, an inspection can help determine what is going on and what work may be needed.

Inspection fees can vary depending on the location and type of service. When applicable, the inspection fee may be credited toward approved work.

How do I schedule service?

The easiest way to get started is to call us at 833-922-2257.

Tell us where your mobile home is located, what you've noticed, and what type of work you believe you need. We'll help determine the next step.

What areas of Arizona do you serve?

We serve mobile home owners throughout Arizona.

Because service areas and travel requirements can vary depending on the location and type of project, contact us with your address so we can confirm service availability.

What should I do if I don't know what is wrong with my mobile home?

That's completely normal.

You don't need to know exactly what the problem is before calling us. Tell us what you've noticed — such as uneven floors, damaged skirting, moisture underneath the home, or doors that aren't closing properly — and we can help determine what type of service may be needed.
