Rain on Dirt Pad

Post by NicoleDumas » Fri Aug 02, 2024 5:56 pm

Our dirt pad was laid May 14, 2024. Our double wide was placed with a moisture barrier on April 25. Since then, we have been making the connections to the home but have suffered many delays. The pad continues to get rained on and shows erosion along the edges of the foundation. Water is not getting under the house, though. Our mobile home company told us not to do any landscaping until they come put on our vinyl skirting.

Is the rain erosion a cause for concern? Is there anything we should do to fix it?

Soil erosion due to rain is inevitable. Where I live, it happens often. The only way we can reduce the damage is to add more soil and sand.

Yes, the rain erosion along the edges of your foundation is a cause for concern.

I think that soil erosion due to rain will have a very negative impact on the lives and safety of people in highland areas.

Yes, erosion around the edges of your foundation pad could be a concern if it worsens, as it may affect stability over time. To prevent further erosion, you could consider temporary measures like adding gravel or erosion-control fabric around the edges, even before the vinyl skirting is installed. retro bowl
