What are the most common problems in older mobile homes?

The company lists roof leaks from deteriorating roofing materials, flashing or seals; subfloor damage and soft spots caused by water leaks; plumbing leaks from ageing or frozen pipes and fittings; electrical problems from outdated wiring, faulty outlets, or insufficient capacity; inefficient or broken heating and cooling; poor insulation driving up energy bills; and drafty window and door seals.

Is it cheaper to repair or replace a mobile home roof?

It depends on the extent of the damage. Minor leaks can often be patched or sealed. Where there is widespread damage, significant sagging, or multiple leaks, a full roof replacement such as a metal overlay or a shingle roof is usually more cost-effective over time and gives better protection and energy efficiency.

How is a soft spot in a mobile home floor fixed?

First find and repair the water leak that caused it. Then remove the flooring material and any underlayment, cut out the rotted or damaged sections of subfloor, install new plywood or OSB secured properly to the joists, and reinstall the underlayment and flooring.
