Mobile Home Leveling
Manufactured home leveling
Mobile homes get out of level for a variety of reasons. It may be caused by a failure to compact the ground properly before setting the home.
Many times it is caused by water getting under the home. Hoses drip, drainage slopes the wrong way and channels water under the mobile home, pipes under the mobile home leak, etc.
Correcting the problem can be painful because it will cost several hundred dollars to have someone come out and level a doublewide. If the root of the problem that caused the mobile home to go out of level has not been fixed, it will have to be done again before long.
The professionals can get a mobile home perfectly level using a water level made from a gallon jug filled with antifreeze and 100′ of transparent plastic tubing.

I frequently get asked question like this but have never had good answers. It’s obvious that finding good repair and service people for mobile homes is hard. Angie’s List attempts to solve the problem but is focused on site built homes. Mobile homes are different enough they really need their own suppliers.
I’m open to ideas.
