Manufactured homes face distinct environmental stresses. We perform an exhaustive investigation of specialized factory-built systems from ground to roof.
Chassis & Structural Blocking
Belly Wrap & Heat Trace
CSA Plates & Mechanicals
Main steel I-beam alignment, outriggers, concrete pad condition, adjustable screw jacks, wood cribbing, and ground tie-down anchors evaluated for shifting.
Inspection of bottom rodent barriers, fiberglass insulation integrity, plumbing freeze protection, thermostatic heat tape operation, and skirting ventilation.
Verification of CSA Z240 or A277 certification label data, electrical panel wiring, furnace combustion venting, and exterior roof membrane sealing.
Who Needs an Inspection
Home buyers entering Edmonton mobile home communities such as Westview Village, Parkland Village, or Castledowns need objective verification before signing. Park managers and Alberta financial institutions frequently mandate documented proof of foundation stability, electrical compliance, and freeze protection prior to approving pad leases or chattel mortgages.
Current owners planning to sell also benefit immensely from a pre-listing inspection. Uncovering torn belly fabric or unlevel piers early allows for cost-effective repairs, preventing last-minute price concessions or financing refusals.
Common Mobile Home Defects
Pier Settling & Unlevel Frames
Edmonton freeze-thaw cycles cause ground movement beneath surface pads. We frequently identify tilted blocking, cracked cribbing, and unlevel steel I-beams that cause binding doors, floor slopes, and stressed drywall seams.
Torn Belly Wraps & Wet Insulation
Damaged bottom boards let cold drafts, rodent nesting, and trapped condensation into the subfloor cavity. Missing or torn belly fabric accelerates wood rot and severely degrades winter heating efficiency.
Failing Heat Tape & Frozen Lines
Supply plumbing beneath the floor requires operational thermostatic heat trace cables. Inoperative heat tape, improper wrap overlaps, or missing pipe insulation are primary causes of winter burst pipes in local parks.
Pre-Inspection Intake
Underbelly & Interior Scan
Same-Day InterNACHI Report
We verify park location, year of manufacture, and CSA Z240 or A277 label numbers to confirm zoning compliance and park skirting requirements.
Our inspector crawls the skirting space to evaluate chassis straightness, piers, belly boards, and heat tape, followed by interior thermal imaging.
You receive a prioritized digital report with high-resolution photos, infrared findings, and clear defect descriptions ready for lenders or park managers.
