Comprehensive Inspection Tailored to Mobile and Manufactured Homes
Mobile and manufactured homes differ significantly from traditional site-built homes. To ensure safety, durability, and long-term value, inspections must address both standard systems and features unique to these structures. Our inspectors evaluate every major system, including:

- Wiring
- Panels
- Outlets
- Lighting
To ensure safety, functionality, and compliance with current electrical standards.
2. Plumbing Systems

- Pipes
- Fixtures
- Drainage
- Water pressure
To identify leaks, corrosion, and potential issues that could compromise functionality or require costly repairs.
3. HVAC Systems
Assessing:
- Heating
- Ventilation
- Air conditioning systems
For efficiency, proper operation, and maintenance needs.
4. Roofing and Exterior Components
Evaluating:
- Roofing materials
- Gutters
- Siding
- Skirting
- Flashing
For signs of wear, water intrusion, or structural compromise.
5. Interior and Structural Components
Inspecting:
- Floors
- Walls
- Ceilings
- Doors
- Windows
- Interior finishes
For moisture damage, structural integrity, and safety hazards.
Specialized Focus Areas
In addition to standard systems, mobile and manufactured homes have unique features that require specialized attention, including:
-
Tie-Downs and Anchoring Systems: Ensuring the home is securely anchored to prevent movement during severe weather or seismic activity.
-
Vapor Barriers and Moisture Control: Evaluating undercarriage barriers, crawl spaces, and ventilation to prevent mold, rot, and long-term structural damage.
-
Skirting: Inspecting skirting materials and installation for proper airflow, protection against pests, and moisture management.
-
Undercarriage and Structural Supports: Assessing the frame, support beams, and undercarriage for signs of rust, deterioration, or safety concerns.
Why Mobile and Manufactured Home Inspections Are Essential
Whether you are buying a new home or reviewing a property after purchase, a professional inspection is crucial. Many issues in mobile and manufactured homes are hidden from casual observation, particularly in the undercarriage, skirting, and structural support systems. Our detailed inspections identify potential risks early, helping clients:
-
Protect their investment by addressing hidden issues before they escalate
-
Ensure the home meets safety and habitability standards
-
Make informed decisions regarding purchase, repairs, or maintenance
