Correcting frost heave
Posted: Mon Jul 13, 2009 9:46 am
Greetings!
I've been lurking a bit here lately trying to learn as much as I can as quickly as I can since I am looking at assuming the mortgage on a '92 Carrolton possibly within the next 2-3 days.
I've looked at the home once and most things appear to be "ok" but it does look like there are issues related to frost heave that may not have fully manifested yet.
My question is... - Do most mobile homes rest on jacks that can be adjusted to accommodate for frost heave?
If not, my second question is, if frost heave has occurred and is buckling the floor of a home is there anything that can be done to correct it short of cutting out the affected area and and replacing it?
Thanks in advance!
