Remove the skirting (optional on some) from around your home to gain access to the piers on which the supports sit.
Begin at the middle of your mobile home to check the level at each pier.
Place a long level at the nearest pier to the center and check the bubble in the center of the level; if it is centered, the area is level.
Mark any piers that are not level and proceed to the next steps.
Attach a plastic tube to a bucket or other container with a capacity of about 5 gallons (19 L).
Add water to the container slowly.
Ensure that the water in the tube is at the same level as the bottom of the I-beam on the non-level pier. This is your level mark.
Place a mobile home jack centered on the pier where it will support the weight of the home.
Raise the I-beam to the level of the water level mark and check the mobile home level to ensure that the bubble is in the center of the bubble window.
Keep checking the problem areas as you jack up the area, such as doors and windows, to take note of when the problem has been corrected.
Use wedges to slide under the beam to support it and keep it level when removing the jack.
