The Manufactured Housing Forums

Hello:

We had a team come out and re-level our new home. They used a water level and made some changes underneath.. we are new to this and did not realize we should walk through the house to see if anything changed inside.. other than the obvious part which was where the floor was uneven at the joining of the 2 halves of the double wide.. in one room.

We have since discovered several new SQUEAKS in the floor in several rooms.
They did NOT squeak before the home was re-leveled.

I am told that we have a lot of insulation under the floor (the home is well insulated) and that it is not easy to get to the beams/floor from underneath..

From what I researched here... it looks like we simply need to get underneath there and tighten up the bolts in the rooms where the squeaky floors are.

Is this correct?

Thanks
JJay and Kim

That would be your next option, but that has limited results. In other words it may or may not help. Squeeky floors im MH's are as common as it gets. You could shoot a nail in the floor joists near the squeek, sometimes that works. There are other more costly and labor intensive ways to end them if your determined and have the cash. Tom

Thanks.. I figure it adds character.. kinda like an old house.

Now I know not to "sweat it"

Appreciate your taking the time to respond

I like your positive outlook.
