Foundation Component |
Requirement |
Flexible Connections for Seismic Activity |
Properties located in areas of high seismic activity require special foundation designs to compensate for the effects of ground movement and to provide flexible connections between the foundation system and the manufactured home and all utility connections. Building authorities in these areas should be consulted for acceptable design features and special code requirements. |
Permanent Perimeter Enclosure |
A permanent perimeter enclosure (not “skirting”) with a continuous foundation-type footing will be required only when specifically required by the local building authority. When required, it must be · designed to resist all forces which cause frost heave, soil settlement, or the shrinking or swelling of expansive soils without transmitting the movement or effects to the manufactured home, and · properly secured to the perimeter of the manufactured home to exclude entry of vermin and water, and provide ventilation and a means of access to the crawl space. |
Moisture and Humidity Reduction |
The reduction of moisture and humidity in an enclosed under floor space is required. Except in arid regions with dry soil conditions, a continuous moisture barrier that covers the natural or excavated ground surface within the perimeter enclosure of the home must be installed. Provisions should also be made to prevent water from entering the crawl space and for the control and diversion of surface water away from the manufactured home. |
