A mobile home inspection evaluates the overall condition of a manufactured or modular home, focusing on:

• Foundation & Structural Integrity - Checking for cracks, shifting, or improper tie-downs.
• Roofing & Exterior Condition - Identifying leaks, damage, or improper installation.
• Plumbing & Electrical Systems - Ensuring safe and functional systems.
• Heating, Ventilation & Air Conditioning (HVAC) - Evaluating efficiency and safety.
• Moisture & Mold Issues - Detecting hidden water damage.

A HUD Foundation Inspection determines if a manufactured home's foundation meets HUD Permanent Foundation Guidelines (PFGMH) for FHA and VA loans.

The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) has strict guidelines to ensure that manufactured homes are permanently affixed to their foundations and structurally sound. These requirements include:

• Permanent Foundation - The home must be placed on a permanent, frost-protected foundation made of concrete, masonry, or treated wood that can withstand wind and seismic forces.
• Anchoring & Tie-Downs - The home must be securely anchored to prevent movement from wind, flooding, or earthquakes. Proper tie-downs and piers are required.
• Support & Load Distribution - The foundation must be designed to support all structural loads, including dead loads (weight of the home) and live loads (occupants, furniture, snow, etc.).
• Perimeter Enclosures (Skirting) - If skirting is used, it must be permanently attached and properly ventilated to prevent moisture buildup.
• Drainage & Moisture Protection - The site must have proper drainage to prevent water accumulation under the home, and vapor barriers may be required.
• HUD Certification Label & Data Plate - The home must have an official HUD certification label (also known as a "HUD tag") and a data plate confirming compliance with HUD standards.

• FHA & VA Loan Approval - Lenders require HUD compliance to fund manufactured home loans.
• Permanent Installation Verification - Ensures the home is properly affixed to the foundation.
• Insurance Compliance - Some insurers need proof of a HUD-compliant foundation.
• Prevent Closing Delays - If your home does not meet HUD guidelines, your loan or sale could be delayed or denied.
• Fast Turnaround on Reports - Avoid delays in closing your home loan.
