Underbelly Repair(need advice)
Posted: Fri Jul 31, 2015 11:25 am
Two years ago I had the vinyl skirting replaced. The company that replaced it also was to seal up the underbelly and tape and seal any leaks. I was not here, I had a family member dying in the hospital at the time.
The first year, no problems, no frozen pipes, nothing. Mind you this skirting is as tight as a drum, nothing could get in there, maybe mice, but I have not had any mice.
This year, frozen pipes this past winter, even though it was not as cold last winter. So in the meantime I had a leak in the front bathroom at the toilet. I had a guy tear up the subfloor and dammit you could see right clear to the concrete pad.
So I go to the back end of the trailer and pull a piece skirting and there is at least a 3 foot hole in the underbelly in place they were supposed to seal up. Water pex pipes hanging. Mind you they charged me over $200.00 to seal up at that time three small holes.
Then I get to looking and cut a piece of the tape away and I am pretty sure they used duct tape instead of underbelly tape. I am going to post a picture and could someone let me know what they think. Should I call the company and complain? This will cost me hundreds of dollars to fix. I can not fix it myself.
