Expert Mobile Home Foundation Reports

Why do you need a mobile home foundation inspection?

A manufactured home foundation inspection must have its findings reviewed and certified by a licensed engineer to confirm the home meets the safety and structural standards set by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). Since 1976, HUD standards have applied to all aspects of manufactured home construction — covering strength, durability, safety, and energy efficiency — and these requirements are regularly reviewed and updated.

When do you need a foundation inspection?

🏡 Buying a Home

When buying a manufactured home, it’s important to arrange a foundation inspection to ensure the property meets HUD standards. Lenders typically require a certified report from a licensed engineer confirming the foundation’s safety and compliance before approving a loan. Having this inspection completed not only satisfies lender requirements — it also helps safeguard your investment and gives you confidence that your new home is built on a solid, reliable foundation.

💲 Selling a Home

When selling a manufactured home, it’s always a good idea to have a foundation inspection done to confirm it meets HUD standards. Most buyers and lenders will want a written report from a licensed engineer verifying that the foundation is in compliance before the sale can move forward. Having this inspection completed early helps prevent last-minute surprises or delays during closing. It ensures any required repairs can be handled ahead of time, so the transaction stays on track and you can sell your home with confidence.

💰 Refinancing

When refinancing a manufactured home, most lenders will require an updated foundation inspection to verify the home still meets current HUD standards. This is a key part of the loan approval process, as lenders need confirmation that the foundation is safe, secure, and compliant. Our inspections are reviewed by a licensed engineer, and we provide signed certification letters that give your lender the documentation they need to move forward. Having this completed early helps avoid delays and keeps your refinancing process on schedule.

Did You Know??

Foundation inspections for mobile, modular, and manufactured homes don’t just cover the home itself — they also include decks, porches, and additions. It’s important to evaluate how these structures are attached because they can affect the stability of the home and whether it meets HUD standards. Improperly connected additions can place extra stress on the foundation or cause safety issues, and may prevent the home from passing inspection for financing, refinancing, or resale. A thorough inspection helps ensure everything is secure, compliant, and built to last.
