How The FHA Foundation Certification Inspection Process Works
FHA Loan Requirements
FHA loans for mobile homes are very common due to low down payment and for those with a less than stellar credit score. FHA being a government loan type has very strict requirements for mobile homes to pass for FHA compliance. Here is a list of requirements and photo examples outlined in our inspections
Anchors and Straps Requirements
To avoid corrosion, galvanized anchors should be used for vertical or transverse anchors. Longitudinal stabilizing devices (LSDs) must be in poured concrete to meet guidelines. Any type of pan system not poured in concrete will not pass for longitudinul support. We offer mobile home foundation repair & retrofitting services if needed.
Piers Under Home
Blocks must be straight and without signs of distress. Any cracked blocks must be replaced. Either a concrete pad or state approved pads are allowed. Any blocks over 36 inches must be double stacked. Corner piers over 24 inches must also be double stacked. Pressure treated wood is required with no more than 4 inches of wood stacked on pier.
Decks and Handrails
Any porch landings or steps more than 30 inches tall, FHA requires a handrail with vertical supports. The steps need to be attached to 4×4 inch posts that are secured to the ground. Steps need handrails or ballisters on one side.
Skirting Requirements
These are the most common issues – The skirting must be in tact, permanently braced and vermin proof. No wood to ground contact. No holes larger than 1 square inch. Skirting must have 1 vent for every 150 square feet. If you need help repairing or installing skirting, we have a mobile home skirting service you can request.
Conventional loans do not require damaged skirting to be replaced.
Drainage and Grading
The home should have a 5 to 1 grade coming off the edge of the home so that water drains away from the home. There should not be pooling or runoff under the home.
