sagging/dipping floors

[T. Anderson]

My 2000 Oakwood double wide has developed some very profound sags and dips in some of the rooms since we have had it. (We had it installed about 11 months ago on concrete runners which are 2' x 12' long and centered every six foot on the center.) Should I simply have it releveled and should I call out the same company that set it up?

Thanks,

It should not have gone out of level this soon. Call the same company back and see what they say. If they will not help, call someone else. Tom

Actually it sounds like you might have a moisture problem and the NOVO deck floor is having a problem...Your new home is warranted by the new owner..be sure to call ASAP..

What exactly is a NOVO deck floor? And unfortunately, this is a repo so there is no warranty.


thanks

Its a fancy name for particle board. Tom

Since it is a repo, your problem probably is particleboard. Chances are the home leaked at the marriage line before it was set up. That moisture causes the particleboard to swell. When it swells, it is inconsistent, so your floor feels knid of like a roller coaster.

But the problem has gotten profoundly worse in the last 2 months of the 10 months that it has been set up. Any thoughts?

thanks

Without pulling up the floor cover and physically looking at the floor, were only able to guess. But thats what you need to do in order to get a look at the damage or problem. There are two possibilites that come to mind, one there was a water leak at one time and the floors are becoming rotten land two, the home was not set up properly and is out of level. Either way, you need to physically look at whats going on to make a determination. Tom
