Manufactured homes are built differently, set differently, and fail differently. Get an inspection from someone who knows what to look for.
Manufactured and mobile homes are built in a factory, transported to the site, and set on piers or a foundation. That means they have their own set of concerns — how the home is supported and anchored, how the sections are joined, how plumbing and ducts run beneath the floor, and whether the skirting and underbelly are keeping moisture and pests out. A manufactured home inspection from ATD Property Inspections looks at all of it.
Daniel Windler inspects the home top to bottom, including the crawl space beneath it where many of the most important issues hide. Many manufactured homes in the San Antonio area sit on rural or acreage properties, so the inspection is often paired with septic and well inspections — both of which Daniel is certified to perform.
As a licensed Master Plumber, Daniel pays special attention to under-floor plumbing, which is often exposed to heat, cold, and pests in ways a site-built home's plumbing is not.
Support, anchoring, and under-floor systems are where manufactured homes need the closest look.
Piers, tie-downs, and blocking are checked for visible problems.
Supply and drain lines under the home are checked for leaks and damage.
Torn vapor barriers and disconnected ducts waste energy and invite moisture.
Septic and well inspections can be done during the same visit.
A manufactured home depends on its support system. Piers that have shifted, missing or loose tie-downs, and settling blocking can lead to uneven floors, sticking doors, and stress on the home's frame and plumbing. San Antonio's expansive clay soils can make pier movement more likely, especially on homes that haven't been re-leveled in years.
The underbelly and skirting protect the home's floor system, ductwork, and plumbing. When they're damaged, moisture, animals, and heat get in, and problems grow quietly out of sight. Roofs on older units, including flat or low-slope roofs and roof-over systems, also deserve careful attention.
If you're financing, some lenders require a foundation certification from a licensed engineer. That's separate from a home inspection, and Daniel can point out visible concerns that you may want an engineer to review.
Every manufactured and mobile home inspection covers the home above and below the floor.
Yes, where it can be safely accessed. The crawl space is where support, plumbing, and duct issues are found, so it's an important part of the inspection.
No. A foundation certification required by some lenders must come from a licensed engineer. The home inspection reports visible conditions, which can help you decide whether an engineer's review is needed.
Yes. Daniel is a certified septic inspector and inspects private water wells, so rural properties can be covered in a single visit.
Yes. Older homes often need the closest look, especially at the roof, plumbing, electrical, and support system.
Daniel will inspect attached porches, decks, and additions and note visible concerns, including how they connect to the home.
