How to Repair a Mobile Home Ceiling that has Dips or is Warped
Since in most cases access to the mobile home attic is impossible to get into to make any repairs from above the ceiling, the way I did mine was to sheetrock over the existing sheetrock with 3/8" sheetrock or you could even use panelingon the ceiling. When you begin after removing the crown moulding, cut a slit in the low spots so they will be pushed up where you install the new sheetrock. This will stop any loss of the blown in insulation. When the sheetrock has been installed finish it as you normally would (tape,mud and sand) then either paint or spray texture for the finishing touch and reinstall the crown moulding. Remember to remove the little rossettes as you go. The extra sheetrock will also improve the insulation value and strength of your ceiling. This is how I did my own ceilings and after 8 years I have had no problems. Holes in the mobile home ceiling can be repaired as you would a wall. This idea also works for site built and modular manufactured homes.
