Picture Rocks homes and how water gets in

Homes include manufactured and site-built homes, some on private wells and septic. The area mixes manufactured homes, block houses and newer site-built homes on one- to five-acre desert lots, some with private wells and septic systems. Homes are often reached by dirt roads that cross washes, and roofs range from pitched metal to flat foam and roll roofing.

Manufactured home leaks

Leaks under floors can go unnoticed.

Monsoon washes

Runoff can flood properties.

Wells and septic

Private systems can fail.

Manufactured homes

Many homes are manufactured, and leaks under floors can soak insulation and subfloors.

Remote location

Distance from Tucson means fast shutoff and response matter.

Unpaved roads

Washes can make access difficult after storms.

Roof types that pond water

Flat foam and roll roofs on older homes can pond water during monsoons, and ponding speeds up coating failure.

What shapes the risk in Picture Rocks

Picture Rocks has the highest share of manufactured housing in the area: 55% of units. Leaks under a manufactured home soak insulation and subfloor out of sight, and the belly wrap has to be opened to dry it properly.

When it can't wait, go to 24-hour emergency help in Picture Rocks.

  • 55% of housing units are mobile or manufactured homes. Water that gets under one soaks insulation and subfloor behind the skirting and belly wrap, where nobody sees it; drying means opening the belly, not just running fans inside.
  • Only 39% of homes are detached houses. In condos, townhomes and apartments, responsibility for a leak can fall on an owner, a neighbor or the HOA, so document the source before repairs start.

Picture Rocks homeowners ask

Can manufactured homes be dried after leaks?

Yes, with underfloor drying and replacement of wet insulation and belly board.

What should I do after flooding?

Extract water quickly, move belongings and start drying the structure.

What should I do if water is leaking under my manufactured home?

Shut off the water at the main or the meter, turn off power to the water heater, and don't crawl under the home if water is near wiring. Then call; drying requires opening the belly wrap.

How are leaks under a manufactured home found?

A technician checks under the belly board for wet insulation and uses moisture meters on floors above. Supply line leaks under the home often go unnoticed until floors soften, so a quick inspection after any unexplained water bill jump is worthwhile.
