Proper site preparation is a critical step before moving a mobile home in Delaware. Whether you’re setting up in Wilmington, Dover, or Sussex County, a well-prepared site ensures a safe, stable, and long-lasting home installation.
Key Steps for Mobile Home Site Prep
1. Clear and Level the Land
- Remove debris, rocks, and vegetation from the area.
- Level the site to prevent water pooling and ensure proper foundation support.
2. Install a Solid Foundation
- Concrete pads, blocks, or piers are commonly used for mobile homes.
- Make sure the foundation meets Delaware building codes for your county.
3. Plan Utility Connections
- Determine locations for water, electricity, sewer, and gas hookups.
- Pre-installing these connections reduces downtime after the home arrives.
4. Prepare Access for Movers
- Ensure driveways and pathways are wide enough for trucks and a Translift if needed.
- Remove low-hanging branches, fences, or obstacles that could block the trailer’s path.
5. Skirting and Site Aesthetics
- Plan for skirting installation to protect the home’s undercarriage and improve appearance.
- Proper skirting also helps with insulation and prevents pests.
