Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between manufactured and mobile homes?

Homes built after June 15, 1976 are 'manufactured homes' built to HUD standards. Homes built before that date are 'mobile homes.' Both need specialized inspections, but the standards and potential issues differ.

What special issues do mobile homes have?

Older mobile homes may have aluminum wiring, polybutylene plumbing, inadequate tie-downs, moisture barrier issues, and may not meet current safety standards. A specialized inspection identifies these specific risks.

Can mobile homes pass inspection?

Yes. Many mobile homes are in excellent condition. Our inspection identifies the current state of all systems and any safety concerns, giving you the information to make an informed purchase decision.
