A trailer home inspection is a complete inspection of the home, from the roof to the ground. There are specific areas that are thoroughly inspected such as roofs, plumbing, electricity, heating and cooling, and flooring.
A competent, licensed inspector for manufactured homes understands the unique issues of factory-built homes. This knowledge allows them to pinpoint current and future issues that may be unsafe, lower the value of the home, or be too expensive to repair.
As a licensed InterNACHI home inspector we have provided a list of the ten most important things in a trailer home inspection:
- Proper marriage line alignment
- Overextended Jack heads
- Wood pads with cracks
- Squeaking floors, warped or bowing floors that could mean water damage
- Toilets with bad wax rings, loose flanges, or a wobble
- A moisture barrier, belly wrap is present and healthy with no tears
- Damage around water heaters and furnaces
- Pier Spacing
- Healthy outrigger with no visible sagging
- Sagging ceiling panels (caused by broken 1?x2? or 2?x2? rafters)
Your home inspector will also offer ancillary services to our customers while they are there including, FLIR Thermal imaging, Home Energy Audit, Mold Inspection and Termite Inspection.

When the inspector is finished you will receive a multi-page report filled with photos and details of any issue they have found during the inspection. This makes for a more informed buying decision.
