What is a mobile home tie-down system?

A tie-down system consists of ground anchors driven into the soil and steel straps that connect the anchors to the home's steel frame and/or roof structure. The system resists both horizontal wind forces and vertical uplift.

How much does mobile home tie-down installation cost?

A full tie-down installation typically costs $500–$2,000 depending on the home size, wind zone, and local soil conditions. Inspection and re-tensioning of an existing system is usually $150–$400.

How often should tie-downs be inspected?

Most manufacturers and HUD guidelines recommend annual inspection of tie-down straps and anchors. After any significant wind event or flooding, an immediate inspection is advisable.
