How To Repair Rotten Mobile Home Bathroom Floors.

[@matti72033]

Great video! I just love watching skilled people work on their craft. I would be so intimidated to try such a repair, but I love watching you do it.

[@Drewsroofingandhomerepair]

You can do it

[@tiffanyswann4349]

😂😂same here... I get so 👩‍🔧motivated and then I get up and look at what I have to actually do to accomplish such a feat. And that motivation quickly turns into a little reality check ✔️ ✅️

[@jerrymoore838]

Always afraid I'll start tearing in and find out I'm in over my head. Watching enough of your videos and starting to think maybe I can

[@Drewsroofingandhomerepair]

You can do it. Trust in yourself

[@Drewsroofingandhomerepair]

100% you can do it. Guarantee I’ll help you. I can talk you threw it on FaceTime

[@sixpackbinky]

Best video of a tear down of a bath ever, just what I needed , have the exact same problem.

[@Drewsroofingandhomerepair]

You can do it. I’m sure of it

[@robertthomason8905]

I keep telling my wife that. I have convinced myself that. I'm still scared of the lack of skill sets and not having a helper. Thanks for the information. Rotten floor joists under the tub. Watching you do it helps me to get it done ❤

[@raylonjmg]

"Raccoon Condo" had me rolling!! 😂😂😂 Thanks for the in depth video. Fantastic job

[@Drewsroofingandhomerepair]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@pjcski]

I'm so glad I came across this! My bathroom is bigger so I'm not as stressed out about getting my project done..... But then again I've only watched the first 60 seconds!!!

[@Drewsroofingandhomerepair]

I hope this video helps

[@Drewsroofingandhomerepair]

I have many more

[@pjcski]

Thanks for your reply. I needed to take a break from the shower walls as I was starting to make an absolute mess out of the caulking. Before I finish it I better learn how to apply it properly!

[@Drewsroofingandhomerepair]

It is so easy to do. Call me I’ll explain. Maybe even FaceTime

Nicely done. The crazy old tub in that mobile home. That is old

[@Drewsroofingandhomerepair]

It sure was my friend

[@Speckled_Butterfly7206]

It really makes you wonder, if mobile homes were built with proper wooden materials from the get go, like when someone fully remodels it, how much different would the initial price tags be as well?🤔 perhaps closer to a stick & stone house price? But I do love that he said if its made of wood, it can be fixed. The time & energy going into these repairs can be something for sure. Kudos to you guys for all the hard work you do, as well as posting the videos.🫶🤘

[@Drewsroofingandhomerepair]

Trailers are definitely not made like a house. There is a lot of framing that just isn’t there in a mobile home. So we have to find a way to put it there. That is why you see us installing all the blocking around the outside edge. The tongue and groove is a great help because you don’t have to block there but if you don’t use tongue and groove you have to put blocking Where the Plywood Meet

[@tomdale1313]

you two are in your element, doing it right...tanks for sharing

[@Drewsroofingandhomerepair]

Yes we are

[@grouchodarx8868]

Paul, definitely, deserves a raise!

[@Drewsroofingandhomerepair]

He makes $25 an hour up to 50. Actually, Paul gets paid well.

[@Bea-sc6fs]

I wish you were in my area in Texas! You do a great job!! Love watching your videos!

[@Drewsroofingandhomerepair]

Thanks so much!

[@bbishoppcm]

I left a scrap piece of Advantech Zip Board sheathing leaning against the fence in my back yard for about six months, exposed to the elements with the cut edge on the ground - I was expecting to come back to a pile of rubble when I remembered to get rid of it, but was shocked to find it was in perfect condition, and could easily have been used in a project! Amazing stuff... When did the mobile home industry move away from sawdust subfloors?

[@Drewsroofingandhomerepair]

It’s amazing. I have a piece now I used on my door for under my house it will last forever

[@davidcarter4913]

Great video Drew can’t wait to tomorrow one

[@Drewsroofingandhomerepair]

Coming

[@Gary-b9g]

I have repaired many mobile home floors, and believe me where I live no one wants to work on trailers. I’m working on one now in the kitchen the floor was sagging bad. I started tearing up old floor and the used staples about 2 1/2” staples to attach it PLUS they glued it too. Never seen on glued and stapled. Too bad they all used cheap particle board. I live in a 60 year old trailer, but have replaced all the floors, and in the bathroom, replaced floor joists too. I cast iron pipe for plumbing run under the trailer. I cut that out and ran pex inside the house. Once to get the floors and plumbing replaced, you have very few problems. God Bless ok

[@Drewsroofingandhomerepair]

Sounds like you have it figured out

[@rukadorehosa3917]

Thanks for your videos. I am redoing a small bathroom and ran into an issue where I need to move the shower drain. (Wife wants to change from tub to shower and wanted a specific shower which of course doesn't fit and I need to move the drain.) I had a small amount of water damage and cut that area out. Now that I need to move the drain I think I need to pull the entire bathroom floor and replace with Advantech. That will give me a uniform surface for the tile she wants. Am I thinking about this too much?

[@Drewsroofingandhomerepair]

You can do it

[@Drewsroofingandhomerepair]

A little bit of elbow grease, and you can do it if it’s made of wood, you can fix it

[@naturewatcher7596]

I have a hole near the bathtub. Shall I remove the bathtub too or just replacing of the damaged piece of the flooring is enough (but I suspect that the rot went under the bathtub and the adjacent wall). After watching this video and seeing what a crappy material was used for the flooring and the vanity I want to demo all of my bathtubs after I'll get my demolition reciprocating saw. :)

[@Drewsroofingandhomerepair]

My recommendation would probably be take the whole thing out if you can afford it if you can’t afford it obviously framing around the problem would be a Band-Aid but if that’s all you can do a Band-Aid is better than none

[@freshspawnkillers]

@@Drewsroofingandhomerepaircan i double up supports and get a better/heavier tub? idk how heavy i can get away with

[@davidwallace9975]

Curious on your square foot pricing for removal and install. How to you address removing the rotted wood under the exterior and interior walls. I see all the blocking you use. I assume all of the existing subfloor runs under the exterior and interior walls.

[@Drewsroofingandhomerepair]

Yes, it does and sometimes you can get it out and sometimes you can’t

[@mplscarsales6652]

Can you show how to go from polybutane or whatever that grey plumbing is called to Pex ? That would be a great video

[@Drewsroofingandhomerepair]

I’m not a plumber

[@johnberry1107]

priced right when new and easy living since set down. what, new in the early '60's? i'd say it is not JUNK. the original buyer and everybody since has lived there inexpensively. i say they were as clever as anybody doing it to sell it. stay safe. thank you. vanity made of paper lasted longer than it should have. it is poor housekeeping that does many trailers bad.

[@Drewsroofingandhomerepair]

I love mobile homes, cheap living why I spend all your money on a place to live spend it on vacations or things you want

[@Paulie1232]

Perfect job....

[@Drewsroofingandhomerepair]

Thanks Paul

[@meganmatthies8085]

Thanks!

[@Drewsroofingandhomerepair]

You bet! Thank you that’s the first time anyone ever gave me anything. Very much appreciated my friend. Very much appreciate it.

[@watertiteman]

Ever try a pair of nippers for staple removal? I find them to be ideal...and if you don't feel like pulling the staple, you can just nip it right off too.

[@Drewsroofingandhomerepair]

Is that anything like bullnose pliers somebody else mentioned that in the comments

[@AdamCurbow]

Good video, love it.

[@Drewsroofingandhomerepair]

[@jodyburns9077]

What type of plywood do you use for a sub floot?

[@Drewsroofingandhomerepair]

Vantex or adventeck. If you watch my videos, you would be able to see it written on the floor. If you use it, you’ll never replace your floor again.

[@BeaverFace]

THANK YOU!!! PAUL IS THE MAN! PLEASE WEAR GLOVES!

[@drewstudlino5885]

try a bullnose plyers for the staples work great

[@Drewsroofingandhomerepair]

Good idea I’ll try them

[@marleneparrish8269]

What is the name of the good flooring thats good for if it gets wet did they say and where is ot sold

[@Drewsroofingandhomerepair]

Advantec

[@Drewsroofingandhomerepair]

I show it in almost all my videos

[@JohnnyRingo1863]

I own a trailer and live in it and work on it constantly it's held together with flimsy 1x3 interior walls and gazillions of staples ridiculous it should be against the law to ever have built s*** like this and sell it to anyone guess I should have known better 🤬

[@Drewsroofingandhomerepair]

True they are definitely a different animal

i have fixed floors in maybe 5 mobile homes people have no clue what takes, they really suck. doing a bathroom right now nothing worse lol

[@atomhansoloburgerlol7424]

Never carry or pick up a toilet by the tank

[@Drewsroofingandhomerepair]

Thanks for the tip

[@bluffedinwaco]

So can you take the tub out without destroying it or should i just replace it?

[@Drewsroofingandhomerepair]

I do not think you can take a mobile home bathtub out without destroying it

[@number1pappy]

7:14 .....your not wrong! I'm having nightmares about staples! Lol! I pulled out a 2x3 out of a wall we knocked down. It's only job in this world was to hold up 1/4 inch sheetrock. We decided to take just one of many 2x3s and actually count how many staples it had in it. We got tired of counting after we counted 100 plus!! I am not even exaggerating! Oh and this was just one side that was holding the 1/4 sheetrock. I would love to go to a mobile home manufacturer and watch them build. I realize staples are cheap, but come on! I just don't get it! Are they just frustrated with their jobs, and shooting mass numbers of staples makes them feel better? 🤔 I dunno but it's insane!

[@Drewsroofingandhomerepair]

I agree every word

[@mplscarsales6652]

For future toilet removal just buy some thick black garbage bags put toilet in it so your not getting sewage or water all over customers floor . Besides that great job!

[@Drewsroofingandhomerepair]

Agreed but to be honest, there wasn’t any sewage it was clean water

Can you show how to take up a toilet & how to cut the water off from the side of it

[@Drewsroofingandhomerepair]

I don’t have a video this one of that. I’m sure you can find window on KZbin somewhere I just don’t have one.

[@Drewsroofingandhomerepair]

On each side of the toilet, there are bolts remove. The two bolts in the toilet will come right up. There is a hose that goes from the wall to the toilet with a knob on it. If you turn that knob, the water should shut off.

[@hosearobinson179]

We bought a mobile home about 6 years ago that was brand new but apparently it wasn’t set up right. Almost every single part of the floors in this single wide are falling in. Actually we have had to set planks of wood on top of massive holes that have formed. I have a special needs child and my husband has end stage COPD and congestive heart failure. I’ve got to fix my floors asap. I don’t know what to do. I have no extra money to do this but I’m smelling mold. It’s not a situation I want my family in. My husbands breathing is very bad and he is on supplemental oxygen 24/7 so having mold around can be extremely dangerous. I’ve got to fix this somehow. HI will do the repairs myself-how much would the supplies cost and is something with this much damage repairable? We don’t have the money to move so I’m not sure what to do which is why I believe repairing is the only solution.

[@Drewsroofingandhomerepair]
