📹 (How to) Single Wide Mobile Home Roofing in 13 Minutes
We recently finished roofing project on a single wide mobile home. At Drew’s Roofing and Home Repair in Southport, North …
90% of Mobile home fires are because of Aluminum Wiring. I grew up in a really nice older 1971 Double wide 24×65 it was a 4 bedroom 2 bath huge dining and living room, I moved out of it about 5 years ago and then last night it burned down, well 1/4 if it burnt down… I always was scared of that growing up because it was aluminum wired my parents always knew about the aluminum wiring and it was ALWAYS a concern to us. If i were you I would have offerd to the customer to REPLACE that wiring with new wiring and ran it through the studs since you already had it that far apart. Disturbing those wires can cause it to now possibly catch fire because it would be wigging the wire nuts in their junction boxes I would have replaced the wiring. BUT I do agree the wiring being pinched between the tin roof and studs is also another cause of the fires in the non aluminum wired Mobile Homes
Not a criticism on the part of the roofers here (since it isn’t your guys’ job to fix any of that shotty electrical work), however each cable taped up should have instead been replaced and re-routed to electrical code. You’re bang on that the original work has been responsible for many house fires. Anyone who finds this sort of half-assed wiring in their house after perusal this article should get an electrical contractor on site ASAP; it’ll cost you more money, but your shit won’t burn to the ground.
I’m not sure I could live in an older mobile home unless I tore out the wiring and replaced it all. I just wouldn’t feel safe. I did maintenance in a stick built apartment complex for many years that was wired with aluminum. For the most part aluminum that is properly insulated from the elements and not abused is safe if handled with care. However… I did encounter several light fixtures and outlets that were sloppily installed and partially exposed to hot and cold air. In these cases the aluminum wire became incredibly brittle and would crack or snap either on its own or at the lightest touch. Then it would arc. And that’s how you get fires. I saw it happen before my eyes once. I was taking a break in an apartment. The lights were off and I noticed a bright, flickering light that seemed to be coming from behind an electrical outlet cover. I removed the cover and sure enough, an aluminum wire had become brittle, snapped and the hot electrical arc was in the process of melting away the insulation from surrounding wires.
I think mobile home fires are for various reasons. Those ones built with aluminum wiring probably one of the major culprits. Then you have loose connections, bad wiring layout (like in this article), old worn-out plugs being used with modern loads like electrical heaters. I’m getting an older mobile home and I have no idea what kind of wiring is in it, but you can bet I will be checking it over before I hook up electric. If it’s aluminum, it’s all coming out and I’m totally rewiring it. If it’s shady wiring, like in this article, same thing.
I never realized the dangers of shady contractors who did the wiring in the old manufactured/mobile homes. You got knowledge under your belt, bud. I just moved into a single wide trailer, it was built in 1972, and it has me wondering if the wiring is sketchy. It should be fairly common sense that running wires over rafters and a metal roof on top of that is dangerous. I’ve lived in several mobiles, dating 1974, 1983, and up to 1992 I think. These older trailers are a real fire hazard with metal siding. And I never thought they could burn down so fast, until one day I saw with my eyes, a trailer burn down in my neighborhood.
I live in a 1969-ish new moon single wide.,., I had some windows rotting out due to the seams in old siding., decided to put a small addition where the old crank out windows were and found out that all the wiring in this one is run in a website below the wall in the floor system., it is solid copper wire in rubber.,., but I am replacing the house one room at a time with concrete.,., then ., maybe., it won’t burn., ‘;’
Damn I’m just a gamer and wanted a clean connection of power to my pc and cannabis grow closet. These articles look like people give zero fucks about the quality of their work. Meanwhile I am running and wiring my room like a pc with ocd care. Such a simple job and the failures like this is a joke. I’m not even an electrician. Wiring a house to me was like learning to put shapes into simple holes. You should be held accountable if you did this work and someone got hurt. I learned this in about a hr. So there should be no excuses. For this kind of work.
Man I’ve been through this before a matter of fact I got a job on fixing a part of a trailer not workin I’ve been a electrician for 41 years and I don’t think I want to mess with this crappy wires and people don’t realize that happens and the owners they don’t click sometimes you have to replace the wire you delete and some how this is the first time I’ve seen this article and there it’s or buts this shit can drive you crazy and you see we have a guide line it’s like you start meeting with this wires by back feeding these wire it won’t work cause it seems to start melting when those a aloud on the circuit it’s not worth once you start doing you think you fix these aluminum wires down the line it will start melting
Before I built my house, I owned a 1969 Schultz 12X60′ single wide… Not sure if the wires were ran like this, but mine had aluminum wire and I can’t begin to tell you how dangerous that stuff is. I pulled new lines from the bottom with 12-2 UF… I worked in the electrical trades for over 30 years and believe me I seen my share of crazy stuff…But this beats it all…You can expect hack job electrical work by people that are clueless and should never be messing with something they have no business touching…No wonder the insurance companies don’t want to insure these older trailers…
Great article, but quick question for you. When you do a rubber roof are all of the vents eliminated or just rerouted? I’ve never seen anyone put back in the venting that they had beforehand. Do some of the customers that you have change certain things to eliminate the pipes up top? Things changing from gas to electric in some appliances like the furnace or going an on demand water heater. Either way, I enjoyed the article and am always learning something new about these houses. 🙂
