Water damage is a killer in mobile homes,

This is why any water damage - a water heater leak, a flooded toilet or a spilled water dish can cause weak or soft spots in the floor.

You cant fix the particle board once its been damaged. It becomes soggy, like a cardboard box, when it gets wet. While you cant undo this damage, you can get rid of the problem by laying down a new floor, one thats sturdier than the old one and certain to stand up to water and other damage.

The piece-by-piece option is time-consuming and difficult to do correctly.
Tools You Will Need:
Claw hammer
Tape measure
Jigsaw or circular saw
Safety glasses (catching a wood chip in the eye isnt fun)
A pencil for marking your cuts in the new flooring
Straight-edge (usually a carpenters square or a construction level)

@wilburton911 I hate them to but it makes me work. Some of the newer trailors are made better now. It is an easy fix. Just watch my videos it will help I have lots of them on floors

. Judging by the space between the support beams in your video either the beams in my trailer are further apart or they are no longer attached near the door. I plan on moving out of this place within the year either moving into a new trailer on the same lot or buying a house. I figure worse case scenario I could always get a couple floor jacks and prop it back up.

@bryanjturner21 could be but can be fixed im sure

[bryanjturner21]

What happens if your weak spot is near the wall. The floor in front of my front door is partially detached and I have to step over it onto the stable section to get into my trailer. Do the same principles apply or might the cross beams the floor screws into might be detached from the wall near the door. I can literally see the siding peeking out from where the floors dropped down near my front door.

@bryanjturner21 remove the plywood and reframe the area. it is easy to do

how much did all that cost?

[Usernameinvalid16]

@baseballgrader I would charge about 1000, You get more costumers. Be cheaper then everyone else. YOu get more Jobs and then you aslo get paid better. You may think 4000 is alot but There are more people out there looking and asking for price thats cheap and not expensive for just a small single wide.
