Mobile Home Leveling in Point Blank, Texas
Point Blank sits on the southern side of Lake Livingston in San Jacinto County, just across the water from Polk County and firmly part of the same lake community. It is small, quiet and heavily oriented toward waterfront and near water living, with a large number of manufactured homes.
Waterfront and near water support conditions
Homes close to the shoreline deal with shallow groundwater that moves seasonally. When soil under a footing is saturated, it yields more readily under load, and a pad that was set on ground considered firm can gradually press deeper each wet season. Because the movement follows a seasonal rhythm, symptoms inside the home can seem to improve and then return, which delays homeowners from getting an inspection.
Shoreline lots also see erosion patterns that inland lots do not. Runoff heading toward the water follows a consistent path, and if that path passes near a pier line it removes soil from beside footings a little at a time.
Smaller and older homes
A lot of Point Blank's manufactured housing is older and smaller, placed when the lake community was first developing. Older single wides on original piers are the common case, and on those homes the items that fail first are shims, small footing pads, and tie down straps that have corroded in a damp environment.
What to watch on a near lake lot
- Whether the slope of the floor is consistently toward the water side.
- Anchor shafts that stand higher out of the ground than they used to.
- Skirting gaps that open in wet season and partially close in dry season.
- Erosion channels running past the home toward the lake.
- Damp soil under the home that never fully dries.
