Mobile Home Tie-Downs & Anchors in Southeast Michigan
Anchor installation, strap replacement, and tension inspection to keep a manufactured home secured to the ground and code-compliant.
Tie-downs are the straps and ground anchors that secure a manufactured home's frame against wind uplift and lateral movement. Michigan requires them on every manufactured home. Replacement anchors run $60–$150 each installed, and a full tie-down system runs $600–$1,800 depending on home size.

Most homes we inspect have loose or rusted anchors
Tie-downs are installed once at setup and then almost never looked at again. Straps stretch, anchor heads corrode at the soil line, and ground heave pulls augers loose over the years. By the time a home is fifteen years old, it is common to find half the system carrying no tension at all. An inspection takes under an hour and tells you exactly which anchors are still doing their job.
Insurance and community compliance
Insurers, lenders, and many manufactured home communities require documented, compliant anchoring. If you are being asked for proof, we inspect, correct whatever fails, and give you a written report with photos you can hand over.
Anchoring and leveling belong together
Anchors and piers are the same system — a home that has settled off level usually has slack straps, and a home with failing anchors usually has moved. We check both while the crawl is open, and bundling the work saves a second mobilization.

Mobile Home Tie-Downs & Anchors FAQ
Are tie-downs required on mobile homes in Michigan?
Yes. Manufactured homes in Michigan must be anchored to resist wind uplift and lateral movement, and many communities and insurers require documented proof.
How much do mobile home anchors cost?
Replacement anchors run $60–$150 each installed in Southeast Michigan. A full single-wide system runs $600–$1,200 and a double-wide runs $1,000–$1,800.
How do I know if my tie-downs are bad?
Slack straps, rust at the soil line, anchor heads that have pulled up out of the ground, or straps that visibly shifted after a windstorm. An inspection confirms it quickly.

Every three to five years, and after any major windstorm. It pairs naturally with a leveling check.
Can you provide documentation for my insurance?
Yes. We supply a written inspection report with photos showing what was found and what was corrected.
