Wind
Mobile Home Tie-Downs and Your Insurance
Tie-downs anchor a mobile home to the ground and are its main protection against wind. Insurers ask about them because properly installed and maintained anchoring reduces the chance of a total loss in a storm, and some will not offer wind coverage without it.
What to check
- Straps are tight, not rusted or frayed
- Anchors are secure in the soil
- The installer and date are documented
Who can inspect
Florida licenses mobile home installers. Ask a licensed installer to inspect and give you written results.
What it means for coverage
Documented anchoring can open more wind options and may affect price. Keep the paperwork with your policy.
