Hi Char, Welcome to the forum! Okay, you've hired the so called experts and gotten the run around. The problem has not been fixed. The next step I would take, would be to hire a independent mobile home inspector, that's certified! Yes, it's an extra cost, but it's a whole lot less than hiring a bunc...

Hi, I've been busy and have gone and crawled under the mobile home. There are a lot of areas that the bellyboard is torn. There's one spot that I wasn't able to get closed to as I was tuckered. But its buy the center beam and the board has a large long area along the beam with shredded pieces hangin...

Hi Yanita, I just wrote a reply but it didn't post. I took a picture of the bathrm. The description is on the right you can see a little bit of a wall which is the 5' shower that is behind the door. The you can see the commode and linen closet and the door to the walk-in-closet. On the left right ac...

Hi Char, You are not dumb...typically most people do not know the answers to these questions either...it's only when we have to know that we learn! Ok, with everything said I understand that the smell gets worse after or during your shower? Where is your water heater located? Is your shower original...

Pockets are empty for the next week and I have difficulty with driving right now with blurry vision. But can you please tell me how to get to the pipes. I know this plumber doesn't know how. I always thought that the pipes and drains can be seen if you put an opening in the belly board and remove so...

Char, One way to inspect under the tub may be with a small telescopic mirro and flashlight. any auto supply store has the mirror. If you can get to the pipes you may be able to get a look under the tub. Greg

Hi Yanita, In my reply to greg I stated the tub and shower are separate. The plumber suggested running some water in the tub every now and then. I have done so maybe twice in the past week-in-a half. If this does happen when not in use why hasn't there been any mold odor in my other bath (with combi...

I Hope I'm replying the right way. Greg, I have regular sliding black plastic 16 X 8 house vents in the brick underpinning. I do not use the separate garden tub except during hurricane season to keep it filled for pending emergencies. When its filled there's no leak as the level is steady. Looking u...

Hi Charlotte, Welcome to the forum. Glad you found us, hopefully we can help you pin point the area of the odor. Are you saying that your master bath tub and shower are separate units? If so after reading your profile I am wondering if maybe you use the shower unit more than the tub...if this is the...

Hi Charlotte Where is the deck in relation to the master bath? I once chased an odor like the one you described. It turned out to be: the deck splashed rain on the home and caused the bottom corner (where the wall and floor meet) to rot/mold and mildew. The odor was coming up inside the wall. Harry

Char, Hi & welcome. It sounds to me like you have had your share of frustration. One thing that comes to mind is ventilation under your home. It sounds to me like you have had most of the common causes checked already. Did anyone check under the tub? It is possible for tubs to crack and water en...

Being new to this forum I hope I'm doing this right. I've read over four hours or so of topics and didn't find my problem there....For over four months now I have to smell mold coming from the bathroom. It has caused me medical problems on top of my other bad health. There are no leaks in the tub, 5...

Hey Yanita! Man you brought up a good point!!! I would have never thought of the hinges being sprung on the doors! But, since I had all of my nieces kids between late August through November, I've noticed that my interior doors aren't working normal. I told Warren that we might have to relevel real ...

Hi Macmom! Both Maureen and Harry are correct. If I remember correctly you have a doublewide. Is the marriage line still flush on the walls and where the floors meet are they still level to one another. Of course the operation of doors and windows is another sign of needing to be releveled. Harry ga...

Hi luvs5racin, Here’s my 2 cents. Nope…not a stupid question. Bulged skirting, warped siding, windows cracked or won’t function properly, uneven floors, floors squeak or feel spongy and doors sticking and swinging closed by themselves are all signs your home may not be level. How stable the ground i...
