Modular Home Questions April 2nd, 2010WE PURCHASED A MODULAR HOME HERE IN THE STATE OF NORTH CAROLINA. WE ARE PUTTING THE HOUSE UP ON 10 FOOT PILINGS AND NOW THE INTERIOR FLOOR FROM ONE END OF THE HOUSE TO THE OTHER IS 3.5 INCH DROP IN 60 FEET. I CAN NOT FIND ANY INFORMATION ABOUT HOW FOR OFF LEVEL THE FLOOR IS ALLOWED. I HAVE HAD A HOME INSPECTOR CHECK IT OUT AND HE DOES’NT KNOW THE ANSWER. MY LOCAL BUILDING INSPECTOR ARE ALSO UN-ABLE TO GIVE ME ANY INFO. I NEED TO KNOW WHAT THE ALLOWABLE FLOOR VARIATION IS. I NEED PHYSICAL PROOF ON WHAT IS ACCEPTABLE. ANY HELP WOULD BE APPRECAITED.

The thing to do would be to level it. You can shim the top of the pilings.

well buddy your first problem was buying a mod., or anthing like that service after the sell is non existent once the dealer gets the money from the bank all i can tell you to do is start raising hell if it bothers you and make a list of everything else and stay on the dealers ass in which he will put you on the manufacturers ass then the big wheel will come out and tell theres no problem and hand you 50.00 for a steak meal on him thinking that will fix your problems. over time this will get worse and you and i know this , but they think your so stupid you’ll get tired of complaining and shut up, mark my words it happened to me in the great state of southcarolina and thier not far off intelligence wise.
