Unfortunately, it might not be that easy. No matter how much Jenelle and David face off with the company that built their home, it seems that The Land may simply not be capable of sustaining such a structure.
According to a Teen Mom fan on reddit who is in the process of building a house themself, the type of soil that Jenelle and David built their property on is not well conditioned for a building of that type. The soil is “Goldsboro fine sandy loam, 0 to 2 percent slopes,” and it is “very limited” according to the USDA ranking. This means “the soil has one or more features that are unfavorable for the specified use. The limitations generally cannot be overcome without major soil reclamation, special design, or expensive installation procedures. Poor performance and high maintenance can be expected,” according to reddit user LolNopeNuhUh.

They add that “This is the worst rating given,” and that “The depth to dig to hit water is 1 foot, which is extremely shallow.”
They went on:
“So, yeah, they pretty much built on a swamp without taking the necessary precautions to stabilize the foundation. The reason manufactured homes are so popular in that area is because foundations on sandy soil tend to sink and shift. With a manufactured home you can cheaply have someone come out and re-level it when needed. Since they purchased what I assume to be a modular (which is placed on a foundation and usually appraises just like stick built homes), that thing is dropping faster than Jenelle’s feelings.”
Unfortunately, it’s not looking very good for Jenelle and David. Most fans’ advice for the newlyweds? Abandon ship!
