Common Questions About Payson Installation

How do you handle Payson's expansive clay soil that can heave 5-6 inches?

Payson's Rim Country clay soil over bedrock is highly expansive and triggered by wet/dry cycles. We install concrete perimeter stem wall foundations at least 18 inches deep and ensure proper water drainage away from the home to minimize soil movement and foundation issues.

What are the fire restrictions for manufactured homes in Payson?

Stage 2 fire restrictions are often in effect on forested properties around Payson. We create 30-foot defensible space around structures and ensure access roads meet fire department specifications. Our installations meet all defensible space requirements year-round.

Do you handle Gila County permits for Payson manufactured homes?

Yes, we handle all Gila County manufactured home permits ($450 base fee + $50 electric + $50 ground-set). Starting December 16, 2024, Payson uses the CITYWORKS system. We coordinate with Gila County Building Safety and call 928-472-5030 for inspections.

What about well and septic for rural Payson properties?

Many rural Payson properties require private wells and septic systems. We coordinate well drilling, septic permits, and installation with local contractors experienced in Rim Country conditions. These systems add to timeline but provide complete independence from municipal utilities.

How do you handle Rim Country's rocky and brushy terrain?

The Rim Country terrain around Payson is rocky and brushy with elevation changes up to 600 feet. We use specialized equipment for site preparation and ensure 12-foot wide access roads meet specifications. Our Rim Country Team is experienced with challenging terrain conditions.

What foundation design works best for Payson's clay-over-bedrock soil?

Payson's expansive clay over bedrock requires foundations at least 18 inches deep reaching stable soil. We use high-strength concrete (3000PSI vs 2500PSI) and thick concrete runners to handle the 5-6 inch heave potential from clay expansion and contraction.
