What’s Included in Your Mobile or Manufactured Home Inspection
Manufactured homes have unique structures and support systems. Our inspections go beyond surface-level checks to evaluate every visible and accessible component that impacts safety, performance, and lender compliance.
We typically inspect:
-
Frame, piers, and supports
-
Tie-downs and anchoring system
-
Skirting, vents, and crawlspace access
-
Underbelly and insulation (where visible)
-
Roof covering and visible structure
-
Exterior siding, doors, and windows
-
Interior walls, ceilings, and floors
-
Visible plumbing, electrical, and HVAC connections
-
Additions, porches, or decks (where attached)
-
Grading, drainage, and site conditions
Every inspection is performed by a licensed Texas home inspector and, when required, coordinated with an engineer for HUD/FHA certification.
WHY MOBILE HOME INSPECTIONS MATTER IN EAST TEXAS
East Texas soils, humidity, and weather can take a toll on manufactured homes over time. Local clay soils shift easily, high humidity can affect underbellies and insulation, and aging tie-downs may compromise stability.
Common regional issues we identify include:
-
Soil movement leading to uneven piers and settling
-
Moisture and ventilation problems under the home
-
Loose or deteriorated anchors reducing wind resistance
-
Improper additions attached to the home structure
That’s why it’s crucial to have a professional, East Texas-based inspector who understands manufactured housing systems and HUD requirements.
