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.

Great finds when they inspected the roof and A/C unit. Their findings were easy to interpret and worked great for the builders to fix. I will use them in the future and direct people to use their services.

Since I was purchasing from out of state, I had my sister meet Eddie, the inspector, at the property. I was on the phone during the process. Eddie was very professional and did a thorough job of inspecting the property. I was able to ask questions and he was very knowledgeable. I received his report the same day and was able to get the Seller to fix several items on the list of issues. I highly recommend this company!!!
