Need a Mobile Home Inspection or HUD Foundation Certification?

Whether you're buying, selling, refinancing, or just need peace of mind, Sam's Home and Commercial Inspectors provides specialized Mobile Home Inspections across Missouri. These inspections go beyond the surface-covering structural integrity, mechanical systems, and HUD foundation compliance to meet FHA, VA, and conventional loan requirements.

What Makes Mobile Home Inspections Different?

HUD Foundation Certification - What You Need to Know

A HUD Foundation Certification is often required for:

FHA, VA, and USDA loans
Home sales involving mobile/manufactured housing
Refinance or reverse mortgage applications

Types of Certifications Available:

Permanent Foundation Certification - For FHA/VA/USDA loan approval
Add-On Certification - When foundation modifications or upgrades have been made
First Move Foundation Certification - Required for homes being installed on land for the first time

We partner with licensed structural engineers to provide turnaround in 2-3 business days on certification paperwork.

Most Common Reason for Foundation Certification Failure:

❌ Non-compliant or missing anchoring systems - Many older homes were installed before HUD guidelines were strictly enforced. Tie-down systems must meet wind and load resistance standards.
