Underground Inspection
We begin by
inspecting under the Mobile home. Many mobile homes have loose, rusted and
damaged support (piers), holes in the underside vapor barrier, AC flexible duct
damage, plumbing leaks, tears in the insulation, holes, feces, roaches, nests,
animal remains, spider webs, and so on… We will inspect your crawlspace, report
anything that looks odd, show you pictures of what we find and give an honest
written evaluation of what is happening under your mobile home. If repairs are
needed, we will give you a written estimate. If repairs are scheduled at the
time of inspection, we will waive the inspection fee. For most homes in most
areas, we will charge $79 for this service/inspection.
What`s Mobile/Manufacturing home Re-Leveling?
A mobile/manufactured home can become unlevel over time due to excess moisture, soil erosion, improper blocking, or a sudden extreme storm. As the home begins to sink, it tilts, which places strains on the home’s structure.
*Signs of an Unlevel Mobile Home
There are several ways to tell if a mobile home needs to be leveled. The most common sign is the doors and windows no longer open or shut properly. Another sign is cracks in the walls and ceiling that start small and grow over time. Your floor may start to creak due to not being settled on the foundation properly. In severe cases, furniture and other items in your home might shift due to the uneven surface.
*Why do I need to Relevel My Mobile Home?
Keeping your mobile home level is critical to ensuring its longevity. Ideally, you should relevel your mobile home as often as every three years; most manufacturers recommend between three and five years.
An unlevel home places a large amount of strain on its structure, which can lead to cracks in the walls, ceiling, and siding. Doors and windows can warp due to the pressure exerted on them. The electrical and plumbing systems inside the walls may become damaged over time. In extreme cases, the house may even collapse.
*Can I Relevel my mobile home?
Whether or not you are capable of releveling your own mobile home depends on why it’s not level to begin with. For example, if your home is sinking because of loose wedges propping it up, you can usually repair those with a level, a mobile jack, and a few other tools. For severe cases, however, you will need to call a professional. Attempting to save money doing it yourself will most likely prove difficult.
Duct Cleaning
What’s in your air ducts? We see it all! Our homes today are airtight and energy-efficient which traps pollutants and contaminants inside. This lowers the quality of the air we breathe. Contaminants build up over time in your air system which circulates each time your system turns on. Contaminants may include bacteria, pollen, skin flakes, fungi, hair, dust mites, viruses, textile fibers, and many others. The American Lung Association estimates that we spend 90% of our time indoors. To maintain acceptable indoor air quality, it is recommended that these contaminants are cleaned out of the HVAC system. The last thing you are likely to be thinking about is the condition of your air ducts.
*Why Air Duct Cleaning Is Important?
Air duct cleaning is important because it removes dust, dirt, and other pollutants that accumulate over time. This can improve indoor air quality, reduce allergens and respiratory issues, and increase HVAC efficiency. Regular cleaning can also prevent mold growth and improve the lifespan of your system..
What`s Tie Down?
Tie Downs are a system of straps, cables, and ground anchors that are used to secure a manufactured home to the ground. The tie-down system is designed to withstand various loads and forces that can be created by wind and other natural elements to keep the house in place.
The benefits of tie down: The benefits of tie downs are to prevent structural damage to your manufactured/mobile home. In areas prone to severe weather, such as high winds and storms, these anchoring systems play a vital role in maintaining the stability and integrity of the home.
