Releveling a manufactured home costs from $500 to $1,000, depending on the size of the home, the location, and the severity of the unevenness. Oftentimes, a manufactured home must be releveled due to settling, ground movement, improper installation, or foundation damage from a storm or flooding event.
An unlevel home can cause a number of problems, including:
Structural damage – If the home is not level, the weight is unevenly distributed, which can stress the structure and cause damage.
Water damage – Water can pool under an unlevel home, leading to water damage.
Inefficiency – An unlevel manufactured home is less energy-efficient since the HVAC system works harder to keep the home comfortable.
Discomfort – An unlevel home is uncomfortable to live in, as furniture may rock, or tilt and doors and windows may not close or open properly.
