Mobile Home Tie Down Installation in Arizona: What You Need to Know

Mobile Home Tie Down Installation in Arizona: What You Need to Know

July 16, 20252 min read

If you own a mobile or manufactured home in Arizona, securing your home with proper tie downs isn’t just a smart decision—it’s often required by law. High winds, shifting soil, and sudden monsoon storms make mobile home stability a serious issue across the state. That’s why mobile home tie down installation is critical to protecting your investment and ensuring safety for your family.

Why Are Tie Downs Important?

Tie downs are anchoring systems that secure your mobile home to the ground. Without them, your home is more vulnerable to wind uplift, shifting, and potential structural damage. In Arizona, where weather conditions can change quickly, especially during the monsoon season, unanchored homes are at significant risk.

Beyond safety, tie downs are often required to comply with HUD standards or local building codes—especially when you're refinancing, selling, or setting up a home in a new park.

What Does Installation Involve?

At Desert Mobile Home Services, our tie down installation process starts with a full crawl space inspection to assess the condition of your current anchoring system, if one exists. Then, our licensed technicians:

  1. Determine the appropriate type of anchors based on your soil conditions.

  2. Install steel straps and anchors at the correct intervals to meet Arizona regulations.

  3. Ensure the system complies with HUD and FHA guidelines if required.

  4. Provide documentation and certification for real estate or insurance purposes.

We service all of Arizona, including Phoenix, Tucson, Mesa, Casa Grande, and surrounding areas.

When Should You Replace or Add Tie Downs?

If your home was installed before 1996, there's a chance your anchoring system is outdated or incomplete. Signs that your tie downs may need to be inspected or replaced include:

  • Visible shifting or settling of your mobile home

  • Cracks in skirting or interior walls

  • Loose or broken anchors

  • Recent extreme weather events
