        "text": "Spongy, sagging, or soft floors are usually caused by moisture leaks penetrating the factory-installed particleboard subflooring. Because manufactured homes often use wood composite panels that break down rapidly when wet, plumbing leaks in bathrooms, kitchens, or water heater closets quickly compromise floor stability. The repair process involves cutting away damaged floorboards back to the center of solid framing joists, inspecting the underlying vapor barrier and insulation, reinforcing the framing, and installing high-grade plywood or OSB subflooring. Replacing soft spots promptly prevents damage from spreading across structural support points.",
