The Manufactured Housing Forums

Hi everyone,
I’m Matty and new around here. I’ve been living in my manufactured home for a little while, and I’ve run into a situation I’m hoping to get some advice on. The small above-ground pool beside my home has developed a leak near the base, and I’m not sure the best way to tackle the repair without causing issues for the nearby skirting and foundation.
Has anyone here dealt with repairing or replacing a pool so close to a manufactured home? I’m worried about water runoff affecting the structure if I don’t handle it properly. Would you recommend patching, partial draining, or just going for a full liner replacement?
Any guidance from folks with experience balancing pool fixes and manufactured home care would be hugely appreciated.

Good question—this can be tricky, because a leaking pool next to a manufactured home poses two big risks: water damage to the home’s foundation/skirting and erosion of the soil supporting the home.

Welcome Matty! Leaky pools near manufactured homes can be tricky. Consider the water runoff carefully. Patching might buy you time, but a full liner replacement offers long-term peace of mind. Think of it like choosing your strategy in Ragdoll Archers; a quick shot might work, but aiming for the bullseye guarantees victory. Proper drainage is key to protecting your foundation. See if you can divert the water away during repairs. Good luck!
