Common Plumbing Issues & Solutions in Manufactured Homes
1. Leaks Under the Home
- Cause: Leaks often occur in water supply lines or drainage pipes that are not properly supported or insulated. Many older manufactured homes (20+ years) were built with polybutylene pipes, which harden over time due to internal scaling. In extreme temperatures, these pipes can crack, leading to leaks ranging from pinhole-sized to major flooding.
- Solution:
- Conduct annual preventive inspections underneath the home to detect leaks early.
- Use pipe hangers or straps to secure pipes and prevent movement.
- Upgrade old polybutylene pipes to PEX piping, which is less prone to freezing and easier to install in confined spaces.
- Insulate PEX pipes with heat tape to prevent freezing and bursting in colder climates.
2. Freezing Pipes
- Cause: Mobile homes often have less effective insulation, especially underneath the home, making pipes more susceptible to freezing in cold weather.
- Solution:
- Insulate all exposed or vulnerable pipes with heat tape.
- During extreme cold, allow faucets to drip to keep water moving (though this is not a long-term solution).
- Use space heating by opening vanity doors and access panels behind tubs to allow warm air to reach the pipes.
- Call a professional plumber to assess and mitigate the situation for long-term fixes.
3. Water Heater Issues
- Cause: Water heaters in manufactured homes may leak or produce insufficient hot water due to scale buildup or sediment accumulation. Additionally, the tank size may no longer meet the household’s growing needs.
- Solution:
- Schedule annual water heater maintenance, including flushing the tank to remove sediment.
- If performance issues persist, consider replacing the water heater.
- A professional mobile plumber can assess your home’s hot water demands and recommend an appropriately sized unit.
