Mobile Home Leveling & Repair in
Norwalk, California
Mobile Home Leveling for Norwalk Properties
Norwalk has several mobile home parks in public directories, and the area felt the 1987 Whittier Narrows earthquake. Earthquakes loosen the supports under a manufactured home, and the movement is often small enough to miss until a door starts to rub.
We inspect the piers, the tie-downs and the chassis, then relevel and tell you whether earthquake bracing would be worthwhile for your home. Our standard releveling package is $3,550 and covers 8 piers plus the pre-leveling inspection. A double-wide adds $350, a triple-wide or multi-unit home adds $650, each extra pier is $195, chassis reinforcement is $380 and skirting access and repair is $150. Travel is $1.00 per mile round trip from Rowland Heights.
What We Look For in Norwalk
Earthquake history
Shaking can knock piers out of plumb or crush shims. We check the supports and the tie-downs and tell you if bracing makes sense.
Flat lots
Flat ground drains slowly after storms. Water under the home is the usual reason a leveled home drifts again, so we look for it.
Leveling, maintenance and repair in one scope
Releveling often shows the next job: torn or rotted skirting, doors and windows that need re-hanging, cracked drywall to patch and repaint, exterior paint, a tired electrical panel or outlets, or a leaking supply or drain line under the floor. Skirting, paint and minor electrical work can be bundled with the leveling visit. We quote the leveling together with the maintenance and repairs you want in one written scope, so you deal with one contractor. Repairs are priced individually after we see the home.
Bring Your Mobile Home Up to Standard in Norwalk
Norwalk felt the 1987 Whittier Narrows earthquake, and manufactured homes in the area may still carry movement from it. At least six mobile home parks are listed in the city. The sensible order is to check the supports and tie-downs first, then spend on comfort and upgrades knowing the home sits on a solid base.
