Remove mobile home floor.
Before we cover how to replace the flooring in your mobile home we should go over exactly how carefully you should watch for soft spots.
Soft spots on the floor can cause damage to other aspects of your mobile home.
So it is important to find them sooner than later and take care of them.
They usually have a steel frame to support the floor.
Remove the trim and floor covering.
The following directions were written for a mobile home bathroom floor replacement project.
On this steel frame floor joists many times 2x6 s instead of the 2x12 s used in conventional home construction are installed and then a layer of plywood or oriented strand board osb is screwed down.
Bathroom floors are the most common floor problem in mobile homes.
The first step to replacing rotted flooring in a mobile home is to remove the trim and floor covering.
However the same process works just as well for floors in any room of the mobile home.
Mobile homes are constructed quickly in an assembly line fashion.
