Being so close to the ground, the under chassis of the Park Home is open to the elements as well as any build up of snow, mud or potential flooding. Being made of steel, without adequate protection, the steel frame can corrode and rust, making it brittle and prone to cracking or buckling under the weight of the Park Home and it’s contents – this is especially true if the support jacks are corroded (or as we have seen in some cases) non existant.
Early signs of damage could include squeaky or uneven floors. More serious symptoms include floor movement, dampness leading to heat loss. The most severe cases could lead to the roof cracking or the park home floor subsiding.
The Park Home Doctors can perform a complete inspection of the under chassis of your park home. We can then, provide a full service to re-strengthen and condition the chassis, add support jacks where necessary and provide underfloor insulation as standard with a guarantee of our work for 15 years.
