Squeak No More Question

Post by rockncountry101 » Mon Sep 24, 2012 2:23 pm

Everybody is saying how awesome this product is. Here is my question. If I don't hit a 2x6 joist, then is there a chance of hitting anything else? (pipes, a/c duct, ect) I've talked to people who used this in a mobile home, but how do you know what's right underneath?

Never heard of the product. If the floors in your MH are squeaking the right way to correct the problem, most often, is to re-level the home. Take a look at The MH Releveling Kit from Aberdeen Repair

Even if your not inclined to do the releveling yourself, then use these instructions and the enclosed waterline level to determine whether or not your home is out of level. Or you can simply use this information to become a better-informed consumer and give yourself the upper hand when it comes to hiring a contractor to do the job.

The detailed instructions will show you how to do the following:

learn the causes of why your home becomes unlevel
learn how to set-up, calibrate and read a waterline level
determine where your home is unlevel and by how much
learn what to watch-out for before, during and after releveling your home
learn proper jack placement
learn how to safely jack-up your home
