Manufactured home leaks
Leaks under floors can go unnoticed.
Monsoon washes
Runoff can flood properties.
Wells and septic
Private systems can fail.
Manufactured homes
Many homes are manufactured, and leaks under floors can soak insulation and subfloors.
Remote location
Distance from Tucson means fast shutoff and response matter.
Unpaved roads
Washes can make access difficult after storms.
Roof types that pond water
Flat foam and roll roofs on older homes can pond water during monsoons, and ponding speeds up coating failure.

- Only 39% of homes are detached houses. In condos, townhomes and apartments, responsibility for a leak can fall on an owner, a neighbor or the HOA, so document the source before repairs start.

Picture Rocks homeowners ask
Can manufactured homes be dried after leaks?
Yes, with underfloor drying and replacement of wet insulation and belly board.
What should I do after flooding?
Extract water quickly, move belongings and start drying the structure.
What should I do if water is leaking under my manufactured home?
Shut off the water at the main or the meter, turn off power to the water heater, and don't crawl under the home if water is near wiring. Then call; drying requires opening the belly wrap.
How are leaks under a manufactured home found?
A technician checks under the belly board for wet insulation and uses moisture meters on floors above. Supply line leaks under the home often go unnoticed until floors soften, so a quick inspection after any unexplained water bill jump is worthwhile.
