Inspections
Buying or Selling?
Lenders commonly require a foundation certification before a manufactured home loan can close. We get your tie-downs ready.
Hurricane Ready
Properly anchored homes resist the uplift and sliding forces of Florida storms. Get checked before the season.
Insurance Asking?
Insurers may require a tie-down inspection to write or renew your policy. We inspect, fix, and document.
Service 01
Tie-Down Retrofits
Many older manufactured homes were anchored to the standards of their day, and straps rust, loosen, and get cut over the years. We bring your anchoring system up to current Florida installation standards (Florida Administrative Code Rule 15C-1) for your home’s size and wind zone.
What a retrofit includes
- New ground anchors sized for your soil and spaced to code
- Replacement of rusted, frayed, loose, or missing frame straps
- Longitudinal stabilizing systems to stop end-to-end movement (many older installs never had them)
- Marriage-line anchoring on double- and triple-wides
- Every strap re-tensioned, checked, and photographed
Service 02
Releveling
Signs your home needs releveling
- Doors that stick, swing open, or won’t latch
- Windows that are hard to open or close
- Cracks in walls or ceiling panels, especially at corners
- Floors that slope, bounce, or feel uneven
- Gaps or separation at the marriage line
- Cabinets or counters pulling away from the wall
What we do
Soil settles, piers shift, and shims compress or rot. A home out of level stresses the frame, plumbing, and roof seams.
- Carefully jack and bring the home back to level
- Re-shim and reset piers; replace failed pads and caps
- Re-check and re-tension tie-downs after leveling
Buying or selling a mobile home?
Tie-downs can make or break a closing.
FHA loans on existing manufactured homes require a foundation certification from a Florida-licensed engineer showing the home meets HUD’s Permanent Foundations Guide. VA and many conventional lenders commonly ask for a similar engineer’s letter.
Loose, missing, or improperly attached straps are findings the engineer has to address, so a sale can stall until the tie-downs are brought up to code.
Buyers’ inspectors and insurers routinely look under the home. Deficient anchoring can mean a price cut, a repair request, or a lost buyer.
We fix it before it’s a problem. Free inspection before you list or close, repairs done fast, and we coordinate with the engineer so your certification is ready on time.
Hurricane Ready
Hold your home to the ground.
Uplift
Hurricane winds flowing over a home try to lift it. Anchors and straps hold the frame down.
Sliding & overturning
Side winds push a home off its piers. Properly tensioned diagonal ties resist that push.
Racking end to end
Longitudinal stabilizers keep the home from shifting along its length.
Don’t wait for the cone. Florida hurricane season runs June 1 to November 30, and once a storm is named, installers book up fast. Get inspected now for peace of mind all season.
Insurance
Insurers are watching your tie-downs.
Florida insurers may require a tie-down inspection to write or renew a mobile home policy, especially on older homes.
Citizens Property Insurance states that if a policyholder refuses its mobile home tie-down inspection, the policy will be cancelled or non-renewed.
Florida law (s. 627.0629(7), F.S.) lets insurers offer a discount of up to 10% of the annual premium for a current inspection certifying tie-downs are properly installed and in good condition.
We inspect, fix what’s needed, and give you photo documentation to send to your agent, so you can keep your coverage.
