Mobile Home Inspection In Surrey - Why It Is Unique

Having a mobile home inspection performed by a professional from I Find It Inspections will save current and potential mobile home owners from costly repair and heating bills in the future. Before purchasing a mobile home, it is vital to inspect for damage that may not be visible.

As a current mobile home owner, if it has been 10 years or more since you purchased your mobile home, now is a good time to re-inspect for damage that may have accumulated, especially with the severe wind and rainstorms we have experienced recently.

Mobile homes offer inspectors a unique challenge in that they are not built on a solid foundation. They are usually resting on the chassis frame, axle and tires they rolled into position on. Those items can corrode, deteriorate, and be compromised by vermin and critters. Due to the restricted space under the mobile home, a qualified and trained mobile home inspector can utilize special equipment to confirm the conditions under the home such as FLIR infrared cameras. Infrared cameras provide a non-destructive inspection to detect and display damaging moisture, such as clogged pipes, that is not visible to the naked eye and they also show air leak patterns created by hot and cold spots which can lead to higher energy consumption, damaged insulation, or HVAC problems.

Homeowners may not know that there are issues with pipes, wires, concrete and brick, insulation and siding, valves, vents and the roof, until it is too late and repair bills add up fast. Older model mobile homes were not wired with grounding and reset systems that comply with today’s electrical codes. Many do not have Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters or Arc Fault Circuit Interrupters, which prevent electrical hazards in your mobile home. They protect your family from shock, electrocution and electrical fires. Rest safe and keep future repair bills at bay with a mobile home inspection today!
