Drainage

Many of the manufactured home communities have been constructed on terraced plots (slippery slopes) or poorly compacted land with poor drainage, flood plains, etc. Even more problematic are low profile homes that have subterranean or pit sets. Because the exterior ground is higher than the ground beneath the home, improper grading and hydrostatic pressure can cause water to percolate beneath the manufactured home. In many cases the understructure is inundated with standing water. We offer drainage solutions that capture and divert the water so the understructure components are protected. We generally prefer to install an integrated drain system that works independently of a sump pump, but this is not always practical or possible.
