Mobile home repair in Auburndale, FL
Leveling and under-home repair for Auburndale's parks and rural lots along the I-4 corridor.
Auburndale sits between Lakeland and Winter Haven along the I-4 corridor, with mobile home parks, older rural lots and newer communities. That central location means companies from both neighboring cities often serve it, so it's usually possible to find a crew that runs this area regularly.
What should owners of older homes check?
Older homes in Auburndale's established parks may still have their original piers, shims and straps. Wood shims rot, block piers crack and straps rust over decades. If your home is older and has never had its supports checked, start with a full under-home inspection rather than just a leveling job.
What if I'm buying a used home?
Before buying a pre-owned home, have someone look underneath. Check that piers are sound, tie-downs are present and tight, the underbelly is intact and there are no active plumbing leaks. These problems are easy to miss from inside and can cost more than cosmetic repairs.
What do Auburndale calls usually involve?
- Under-home inspections for older and pre-owned homes
- Replacing rotted shims and cracked blocks
- Re-leveling and tie-down checks
- Skirting repair and replacement
Common questions
What should I check before buying a used mobile home?
Have someone inspect the piers, tie-downs, underbelly and plumbing under the home. These problems are hard to see from inside.
Do old wood shims need replacing?
Wood shims can rot in damp conditions. If they're soft, split or missing, they should be replaced during a leveling or pier repair.
