The Procedure Involved In Mobile Home Releveling

By Marla Mills


Mobile home management usually incorporates various activities such as checking cracks on walls, windows and doors. Cracks are usually a sign that the home is not well balanced and needs re-leveling. This may be caused by many factors such as imbalance of the I-beam and movement of the underground soil. Therefore, mobile home releveling is the ultimate way of restoring the home stability.

A balanced home provides comfort and is also protected from other related damages that may arise. Being a demanding task, re-leveling involves multiple procedures. The first step involves removing the skirting around the entire house. Once the skirts are removed, the homeowner has easy access to all the piers used for supporting the structure.

Once the skirting has been removed, the homeowner or contractor is now free to begin the actual process. Re-leveling begins at the center of the house in that there is equal access to all piers within it. A long level is then placed to each pier to determine its stability using the level bubble. Any pier is considered well balanced if the level bubble settles at the center. A pier that is not level that is not level is marked out for future reference.

Usually, a plastic tube is attached to the container with a capacity of about five gallons. The container is then used to hold about 1.9 liters of water used for leveling. A mark is set by ensuring that the tube water is at the same level with the bottom of the home I-beam. This is usually done to ensure that all the piers are balanced.

The next step involves placing the mobile home jack at the center. This is crucial in helping it bear the weight and also support the house. The I-beam is then raised at the same height of the water level mark in order to check the level of the structure. This is done to ensure that the level bubble settles at the centre. Routine programs should also be imposed to ensure that all re-leveling programs are effectively managed.

The steps taken also require the homeowner to improvise routine programs used for checking other problems affecting the level of the house. Special attention should be paid towards windows and doors to check if all cracks are effectively fixed. Once the structure is leveled, a wedge can be used to remove the jack.

There are several management tips that are used for the re-leveling purposes. These include fixing all problems in order to avoid recurrence of past problems. Re-leveling is an effective measure of reducing extra costs used for management as well as restoring the house stability.

Mobile home releveling is also a crucial method of avoiding contact between the structure and any underground moisture that may be there. This requires the use of plastic sheet for covering the ground in order to protect the house from moisture. The effects of vaporization can make dampness and rusting of the metallic parts of the house. All these processes are meant to make the place more stable.
