Mobile home floors and how we repair them

[@u.sonomabeach6528]

A lot of people will be confused and not know what they are seeing exactly. What you see is someone that has pride in their work. The basic concept of it is when someone does a job and they don't half ass and do a sleight of hand trick. No out of sight, out of mind. They don't yield to the urge to slap together some fail job and take the money in run. Someone that has pride in their work does it all. The whole shebang. It isn't done til its done. Full measures, not half. I like seeing pride. Thank you

[@u.sonomabeach6528]

Also I like the straight way you communicate with your crew. Some might see someone that is firm and straight forward as condescending or arrogant but the apprentice or coworker with pride knows what is being said and that's all they need until they are in your shoes and bringing their own up. When I set out training to learn something I appreciate when the teacher lays down the law and keeps me balanced when I start to get out of line. Taking it easy is for lunch time over a snickers bar.

[@Drewsroofingandhomerepair]

Thank you so much and you’re right some people can get confused and not know exactly what they’re saying. And there are some terrible contractors out there they don’t give a crap if you don’t see it they don’t care. I’m not that contractor nor will I let my crew be that type of worker. I am strict I have one way of doing it. And my way of doing it is the right way. It’s not like I can’t take somebody else’s thoughts but I’ve been doing this for 30 years I know mobile homes. I believe in do it right the first time or don’t do it at all hard work and honesty is the best policy. I really appreciate your comment I think you’re an awesome person Jeremy thank you for stopping by my channel

[@u.sonomabeach6528]

@@Drewsroofingandhomerepair i just felt compelled to leave the comment because I deal with and see so many people who have their trade as their whole identity and spend every day doing it but it doesn't go past sub par. I'm not saying I'm better because I have so much to learn but I appreciate the person with pride in their work and that strive to do something as good as possible with everything they got....especially when someone is paying them their hard earned money for the service. Thanks again. I'll be back

And by the way I feel blessed to have you comment like that on my channel. I will definitely make it a pinned comment so it shows up first just because of the pride did you see is the pride that I feel when somebody comments like that for me thank you Jeremy I’m glad you can appreciate good work. By the way just for fun I have another channel it’s called Scrapping with Grandpa. I use a little bit of comedy in my scrapping so I hope it’s something you can go check out and enjoy watching could use a few more subscribers.

[@ceciliamatos22]

I am a retired woman who will be doing floor repair soon. A lot of my problems are featured in your videos (uninsulated duck work, water rot areas) are shown in many of your videos; like this one for example that shows your team using faced insulation & placing it face down. I wasn’t sure to use faced or un-faced (R value) but I see your team utilizing this & how they used it. This is all a great help to me as I work on my single-wide trailer in NY. I hope you see this as you answer most comments. #1- What type of membrane is best to secure to the underside of the trailer to hold up the insulation & just tightly stabling it in (is ok?). #2- As we generally have 3-4 weeks of below freezing temps-what R value is best to use? #3-I might have to gut out my entire bathroom due to water damage-taking out the tub toilet & possible the water heater-possibly replacing all but the water heater. Can you explain the steps I should take? I realize that is asked by a lot.

[@dienekes4364]

This is exactly the situation I'm in right now. I just bought a trailer that has 4 leaks in the roof, 3 of which caused the ceiling to collapse. The floor in one of the smaller bedrooms has completely given way and the carpet is drooping. The other small bedroom had a leak, you can see the ceiling just barely dropping, so I'm going to tear that out and fix that. I can see that water has run down the wall, so I'm going to tear that up and replace it, and I'm sure the floor is compromised as well. It's got ugly carpet, so I had planned on tearing that out, too. I have a month before I move in, so I'm going to tear up follow your advice and just tear out all the floors of those rooms and replace them with good, new OSB. I agree, NO PATCHING!! It's not that much more cost and in doing so, I can reinsulate the entire floor and make sure it's all done right. This is in southern Arizona, so retention of cooling is more important than heat, making the floor just as important than the attic space as far as insulation is concerned.

[@toolman3491]

If you have polybutylene water lines, replace it with PEX. The substrate you use for the flooring is less important than the plumbing. For those folks not in the know about poly/plumbing should be made aware that the polybutylene plumbing system used in virtually all mobile home construction for many years came, under a class action lawsuit. The settlement of the lawsuit (which is no longer valid) gave relief and replacement of the defective pipe was installed as long as the original owner of the home met the criteria of the settlement. (in the event that a leak occured ,in the poly system and had to be repaired more than once the homeowner, was requireed to keep the defective connector or pipe part to qualify for a free pipe replacement.

[@dienekes4364]

@@toolman3491 I've been doing a lot of plumbing and I'm replacing all of the lines that I can get to with PEX. It's a gradual process, but hoping to get all of it done in the not to distance future. My next big project is replacing the lines that go to the master bathroom (farthest run) because when we run the water, there is a sulfur smell coming out of it. Can't imagine what that is, but it can't be good.

I have had to replace a couple of tiles because of wind, but even those are getting fewer and fewer because I reenforce the seal at the bottom (this is Tucson, so leaving them with the standard tack-line of tar just doesn't cut it). It was a lot of work, but I did have an "apprentice" helping me out, so not only was I able to get it all done, I helped teach someone else how to do all those repairs and some of the "gotchas" of roofing.

Why did you call it OSB at 7:11 and 8:32? It's not OSB. Not even "old school osb". It's called particle board and the manufacturing process is completely different, not just the chip size.

particle board is what i call that old stuff.

[@Drewsroofingandhomerepair]

Particleboard or OSB is not that bad from now days but back in the day it was not made the same

[@toolman3491]

no doubt. 5/8: or 3/4" thickness in most mobile homes on either 16" or 24" center spaced floor joists and framing with 2x4 is not sufficient for support. Engineered particle board used by the manufacturer is not the best but meets specs. Never seen strand board used but don't know the code for that area of the country.

The problem with mobile homes is that they put walls where there is no support under them. So yes that is possible. But not impossible to fix.

Can you do a home room by room? I don't have the funds to do the whole thing at once. Plus I still live here so I have furniture. My water heater died, and the floor under it is bad. I want to replace the subfloor in that whole room (utility room) before I replace the water heater. My thoughts are to replace the subfloor and insulation, then paint the subfloor with waterproofing before putting down new flooring. I would like to do this in most of the rooms of the house but room by room. (The house is 20 years old.)

Great video but you say do the whole floor because if you have another leak you'll have to rip it up again, well if you have a leak you'll have to do it again whether you did the whole floor or not right?

[@Drewsroofingandhomerepair]

No because you’re putting back either plywood or Vantex and neither one of them will do what the particleboard does in the floor particleboard will fall apart plywood takes a long time to fall apart so you have time to do any repairs necessary before the flow or go bad. If your floor with the particleboard it gets wet it’s gone in days

I agree the OSB we use today is great I love it on a roof half-inch OSB is the best I would not use it on my mobile home unless it was Advanced tech or Sherwood or something like that waterproof kzbin.info/aero/PLD5864194B91D65A2

Pretty much I could agree with that

[@kimredxiii]

Just so I understand correctly you double insulate the floor towards the outsides to take up the space but only do a single layer in the middle to allow breathing space under the floor?

[@Drewsroofingandhomerepair]

Not sure that I remember saying that

[@leeleviner8159]

I believe he mentioned the floor was only so many inches different from different spots that he couldn't put the same amount of insulation in all areas.

Exactly right thank you

Well.. Last guy we had do our floors so wrong we couldn't just keep one area and now we have to rip all of it out, But question being he ripped everything from under the floor away there is nothing to hold the insulation inside, Do i put some plywood under there?

Underneath the rafters there is a layer of like mesh it is above the underbelly. If you remove your floor and it is not there all you have to do is put a nail underneath the bottom of the rafter everyone of them and run wire under there and set the shingles excuse me set the insulation on it

[@toolman3491]

@@Drewsroofingandhomerepair A manufactured home was specifically introduced to those folks who could not afford a 3 or 4 bed stick built home. In order to qualify the process yes. some lesser materials were and are still being used but the word cheap is not the word I would use to describe a mobile home. I, don't imagine that someone purchasing an older manufactured home for sale and depending on the location price and descrption would agree to that description. The fact is unless the owner of an older mobile believes it is cheaply made which also denotes crappy. I would'nt even dare tell a home owner it's construction is even substandard. They may think that but don't agree because you are confirming to them that not only is the purchaser cheap but, now lives in a piece of crap. Not true, they, may be constructed of less premium materials but to those folks that cannot afford the Caddy it is, their home. The assumption is, that given reasonable care and that routine maintainence is followed the home, will last for many years. Remember this. All manufactured homes are constructed, assembled and transported to the site via truck down the highway at speed, over hill and dale including pot holes and every other other obstacle and arrived on site ready to be set up with minimal repairs needed. You ever notice that the (trailer houses, wobbly boxes or what other negative description you could call them are mostly in great shape from the 50s and 60s. Finally in most cases it is all about taking care of the home. I find that most people will wash and wax their vehicles but neglect to do the required maintainence until it is either almost or, too late for repairs thus, the extensive damages that can and does occur. I don't mean to offend but my belief is you can't keep warm with too many holes in the blanket.

If you notice the floor already has and underbelly on it and that’s what we are laying the insulation on the problem is raccoons will make a hole in the underbelly and come through there we covered up the old existing holes that the raccoons made with a new piece of Tyvek and a piece of plywood on top of that. You cannot keep cones out if they want to get in unless you have your trailer underpinned and enclosed completely

I just bought a rambler that was completely remodeled accept they just laid down a quarter inch plywood in top of rotting, spoungi, and rat chewed flooring from underneath. I spent 7k having the insulation removed, the venting, and had reflexit bubble wrap like insulation out in. Done poorly. My floors are getting wavier and wavier. I have replaced some very rotted spots myself, very patchwork style but id rather spend the money have the entire sub flooring replaced. But I feel that I need to figure out my insulation first. I am considering foam board. I don't like bat because it just becomes a home for rats. :(

No that is not true because when you replace the floor you get rid of that old garbage and you use the new upgraded updated plywood that does not go away when it gets wet. So I understand what you’re saying. But that is not the case if you put better plywood on the floor than what was there. And that would obviously be my choice. You’re going to either use 23/32 laminated plywood or what I would prefer would be the Adventech.
