Mobile and manufactured homes are a big part of housing throughout Pulaski County and the surrounding area, and they deserve the same careful inspection as a site-built home — plus a few things that are unique to how they're built and set up.
What's Different About a Manufactured Home Inspection
- Tie-downs and anchoring — proper anchoring is critical for wind resistance and safety.
- Undercarriage and skirting — the belly wrap, skirting, and support piers are checked for damage, moisture, and pest entry points.
- HUD data plate — verifying the home meets HUD construction standards for its age.
- Moisture issues — manufactured homes are more susceptible to certain moisture and ventilation problems than site-built homes.
Standard Systems Still Apply
Beyond those unique points, a manufactured home inspection still covers the roof, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, and interior — the same core systems covered in any residential inspection.
Financing Often Requires It
If you're financing with an FHA or VA loan, your lender may have specific requirements around the home's foundation, anchoring, and overall condition that go beyond a standard appraisal.
