Mobile Home Foundation Certification

Service Description

We offer manufactured home foundation certifications to clients in Metro Atlanta, including homeowners, mortgage lenders, loan officers, real estate agents, and insurance agents. On VA, FHA-insured, and some other loans, the foundation on all manufactured mobile or modular homes must meet specific criteria for structural stability. We perform on-site inspections to verify conformance to the HUD Permanent Foundations Guide for Manufactured Housing. Minimum compliance standards in the guide include: 1- Permanent skirting around the perimeter, which protects the foundation from vermin and weather 2- Proper piers to support the structure to include frost protection of those piers 3- Anchorage, which aids in resisting lateral loads caused by wind and earthquake forces Compliant Foundations If a manufactured home's foundation conforms with HUD/FHA, VA, and conventional lending standards, a Foundation Certification stamped by a professional Licensed Engineer will be issued. Non-compliant Foundations If a foundation is found non-compliant, we will issue a non-compliance letter listing problems that must be resolved. The letter will recommend if a small retrofit by a local contractor and a completely new design by an engineer is required. Upon meeting HUD standards, clients must schedule a re-inspection before a Foundation Certification can be issued. Foundation Certifications are delivered via email within 2-4 business days from the date of your on-site inspection. To get started, you may schedule your inspection online.
