The Manufactured Housing Forums

We have an '83 Silvercrest and with all the raining this winter we have develeped water stains in our bathroom. One stain around the light fixture, but the leak is on the edge of the ceiling against outside wall with staining developing along the edges. The rain/leakage has caused the ceiling panel to sag as well - what can be done to fix this. They are not small panels, they run from 1/2 the house up to the peak in the center.

Any advice?

Sagging ceiling panels can become a real problem. Once they develop a sag, it's almost impossible to get it out without breaking or cracking the panel. Also, the panels themselves are about impossible to find and replace. So first suggestion would be to get the roof fixed before anymore damage is done.

You gotta see my repair manual!

It might be easier to replace the panels with drywall and texture the whole thing. The blow-in insulation will be a mess, but it can be delt with (it's USUALLY cellulose). You can cut the drywall into smaller pieces that are easier to handle. Be sure to fix the leak before anything else.
