        "text": "You should repair or replace mobile home panels when you notice visible sagging, soft spots, reoccurring seam cracks, persistent moisture stains, or mold growth. Because manufactured homes can settle on their piers, minor seam shifting at batten strips is common. However, if pressing against a wall or ceiling feels spongy, moisture has likely penetrated the backing. Ignoring soft panels can allow moisture to rot lightweight framing studs or trusses behind the surface. Inspecting seams after major storms or sudden temperature drops helps catch loose fasteners early before whole panels pull loose from the ceiling joists.",
