Mobile Home Tie Down Inspection

What We Do

Waypoint Property Inspection has certified inspectors to assist you with your mobile home tie-down inspection in Tampa Bay, Central Florida, and South Florida Areas. The most common reasoning for this type of inspection is for an FHA or VA financing/loan, which the tie downs must comply with FHA and HUD requirements.

If you have a manufactured home and need a manufactured home foundation certification, Waypoint can help.

About Mobile Home Tie Down Inspections

What Is It?

A mobile home tie down is a metal strap that comes from the footings of the structure and wraps into the structure of the mobile home. This prevents uplift of the mobile home during a high wind event.

The History

Since hurricane Andrew, policies on mobile home tie downs have become much more strict to prohibit future damage.

Why Do I Need It?

It is quite common for these tie downs to become damaged and corroded overtime. Moreover, they could also be improperly installed. This is why FHA and VA mortgage loans require inspections on mobile home tie downs.

Governance

Permanent Foundation Guide for Manufactured Housing; September, 1996. If you have further questions on the specific requirements of the mobile home tie-downs, you can visit HUD.gov.

How Do We Inspect Your Mobile Home Tie Down?

An inspector on a mobile home tie down inspection will look for and may report on the following:

Climate Conditions
Soil Conditions
Elevation
Home Information (Year, Type, HUD Label, Etc)
Foundation Type
Piers
Following Regulations of Installations

Wheels
Tongues
Grading
Skirting
Anchor Method & Spacing

Oliver with Waypoint was awesome. Which is not a word I would have ever thought I’d use to describe a home inspector, but I did. He took the time to review the report with me, showed me the areas in question. He explained why some were blue and some were written in red. I mean he was so thorough, I walked away with a clear understanding of the inspection.When someone gets a sparkle in their eye as the excitingly tell you about the condition of the electrical panel, you KNOW they love what they do. I really cannot say enough about Oliver or Waypoint I see why my agent wanted to use them.Thank you Oliver and Waypoint for making this such an enjoyable experience (another phrase I’d never thinks I’d use when referring to a home inspection).

My mortgage broker used Waypoint in 2008 to do the home inspection of the property I was purchasing.
