Mobile homes become unlevel for many reasons. They can settle into the ground due to excessive moisture, experience ground heave, or can have damaged shims, or wedges. ... Re-leveling a mobile home does exactly what it says, it re-levels the mobile home so the weight is distributed evenly and properly.
How do I know if my mobile home needs leveling?
- The house looks slightly tilted when observed from the outside;
- Doors and windows don't fit properly or won't stay shut;
- Cabinet and closet doors are hard to open and close;
- The skirting looks bent;
- Awnings are bent or difficult to use;
How often should you have your mobile home leveled?
If you live in an area with frost heave, you may need to do it as often as every year or two. Homes with a slab or deep foundation only need to be leveled if you notice problems.
