Re-leveling – Many people don’t understand what Re-leveling is or the importance of it. Mobile homes and Manufactured Homes are all set up basically the same. The home is built on a steel frame. The axles and wheels that are used to transport the home are connected to the bottom of this frame. Once the home is set where it is to be placed, the home is leveled out with hydraulic jacks, then concrete blocks or steel piers are placed under the steel frame to keep it secure. The wheels are usually removed. The concrete blocks or steel piers sit on the dirt. In the Southwest United States there is no concrete slab that the home sits on. The manufactures don’t require it. Because the home is sitting on earth, and because of it’s weight, it will settle. If a home is ground set (or at ground level with no skirting) or it has skirting, they are all set up, under the home, the exact same. All Mobile Homes or Manufactured Homes need to be Re-leveled. If a home is out of level, it can be lifted with the same kind of hydraulic jack system that was used to set it up. To maintain the level, we recommend the home have the supports or piers tightened or adjusted every 3-5 years. Most manufacturers recommend more often then this.
