Water Running under mobile home...
Posted: Thu Feb 16, 2012 10:50 am
My mobile is not up on a hill, but rather at the bottom of the hill, guess
who catches all the water? Water has been draining up under my mobile home, so yesterday, I had someone come out with a backhoe, and bobcat...they fixed the ditch that was draining water right up under the home; He extended the ditch straight past the home, so at least 90% of the water will drain that way, not an issue, he also placed dirt next to the mobile at an angle/slope so rain water would backwash back into the yard, rather then under the mobile.
Problem: what he did not do is protect the skirting when he put dirt around the mobile; It rained last night, now you can tell the dirt/mud is now weighing on the skirting, now I have to dig up all the dirt that he placed around the skirting before the dirt/mud caves the skirting...
Question: Is there anything made that I can place along side the skirting, then put dirt down so that it does not cave in the skirt? i was thinking bout ply-wood, but overtime that will surely rot out, and then I would be back where I started again...
Thanks for your help.
