Common Mobile Home Repair Issues
As mobile homes age, they begin to show signs
of wear. Drew's Roofing and Home Repair is
one of the few contractors around who works
on manufactured housing. Here are the biggest
problems we find and the solutions.
The "belly wrap." The underside of a mobile
home has a plastic sheet that seals it. Over

from the early 80s to 1995. If your mobile home dates from this period, call Drew and
let us check your pipes before something bad happens.
Appliance discharge. Sometimes the washing machine discharges onto the ground.

people believe the discharge will overfill a septic tank or cause other problems. It won't
if you have a properly designed septic system.
In some mobile homes, we find the dryer vents into the crawl space. This is not the way
it was designed. Part of the vent line works loose. Call Drew’s Roofing and Home Repair
today. Drew will be glad to check and repair any mobile home issues you may have.
