A manufactured home sits on a series of piers placed under the steel I beams of the frame. When the ground under those piers settles or shifts, parts of the home drop out of level. Leveling means raising the low sections with jacks, adjusting or replacing the shims and piers, and setting the home back on a true plane.
The first sign is often a door that will not latch or a window that sticks. Other common symptoms are cracks at the corners of doors and windows, gaps where interior walls meet the ceiling, a floor that feels soft or sloped, cabinet doors that swing open on their own, and a marriage line in a double wide that has started to separate. Plumbing leaks under the home can also be a sign, since movement stresses the pipes.
Bullhead City sits along the Colorado River in one of the hottest parts of the country, and summer highs regularly pass 110 degrees. The area has a large number of manufactured homes, both in parks and on private lots. Heat cycles, monsoon downpours that soak sandy desert soils, and runoff that pools under homes all work against piers and footings. Many owners are seasonal residents who return in the fall to find doors sticking or new cracks, which is often the first sign something has shifted.
A typical visit starts with a walk around and a check under the home. The crew measures the frame at several points, usually with a water level or laser, to find the low spots. They lift the home gradually in small steps, because lifting too fast or too far in one place can crack drywall and strain the frame. Shims and wedges are adjusted or replaced, damaged piers are swapped out, and the home is rechecked before the jacks come out. Double wides and triple wides take longer because each section has to line up at the marriage line.
Many homeowners have the home checked every few years, and sooner after heavy rain, a plumbing leak under the home, or any time doors start to bind. A level home is easier on doors, windows, plumbing, and drywall, and it matters at sale time because buyers and inspectors look for it.
When you call, it helps to know the size of your home, whether it is single, double, or triple wide, roughly how old it is, and what symptoms you have noticed.
Usually yes, though crews may ask you to step out while the home is being lifted.
Leveling can stop cracks from growing and may close some gaps, but existing cracks usually still need patching.
