Manufactured homes in Terre Haute.
Vigo County is Scapular's active service area for Terre Haute inspections. The 1970s–1995-era manufactured home stock in this region generates a steady pipeline of inspection requests from lenders, title agents, and buyers across all four service lines.
Terre Haute is the west Indiana hub on the Illinois border and Vigo County seat — manufactured home density here is high, FHA purchase volume is consistent, and cross-border coverage with our Illinois license allows us to serve files that span the state line.

What the report covers.
Every PE-sealed report Scapular issues — regardless of which service line or which Terre Haute property — addresses the same six structural findings required by HUD 4000.1.
Foundation system
Pier spacing, footing size, soil bearing, and compliance with PFGMH §3. The finding underwriters look at first.
Anchoring & tie-downs
Over-the-roof straps or frame ties, ground anchors, and compliance with the home's installation manual wind zone rating.
HUD data plate
Manufacturer, model, serial number, HUD label number, wind zone, thermal zone, and roof load — all verified on-site and transcribed into the report.
HUD certification label
Red label affixed to the exterior of each transportable section. Location documented and cross-referenced with the data plate.
Utilities & skirting
Water, sewer, and electrical connection method. Skirting material and continuity. Both findings required for FHA permanent foundation status.
Towing hardware
Running gear, axles, and towing hitch status. FHA requires these to be removed or rendered non-functional for permanent foundation classification.
The final page of every report is the PE certification — signed, sealed, and carrying the engineer's license number, state of issuance, and $2M E&O insurance reference. This is the page your underwriter detaches for the loan-doc file. For Terre Haute properties, the IN PE license is the one printed on that page.
Common questions for Indiana.
Questions specific to Terre Haute inspection requests and Indiana state requirements.
01 Does Indiana require a PE for manufactured home inspections? +
Yes. FHA requires a state-licensed engineer under HUD 4000.1. Our P.E. holds an active Indiana license covering all Indiana properties.
02 What is Indiana's process for real property conversion? +
Indiana requires a PE-sealed PFGMH §3 foundation certification, an Affidavit of Affixation recorded at the county recorder, and title elimination through the Indiana BMV. We provide the PE documentation; your title company handles the BMV filing.
03 How quickly can you schedule in Indiana? +
Indiana inspections in the Indianapolis metro are typically scheduled within 24–48 hours of intake. Statewide, standard turnaround is 48–72 hours. Rush scheduling is available for active closings — contact us at the time of submission.
04 Do you do home inspections in Terre Haute? +
No. Scapular is a structural engineering firm, not a general home inspection company. A home inspector reviews the whole house for a buyer. We provide the signed and sealed engineering report a lender, insurer, or permit office asks for, and a structural opinion when a home inspector flags something. If your inspector recommended a structural engineer, send us that page of the report.
Vigo County recording note: In Indiana, affidavits of affixation are recorded at the county recorder's office. Indiana title elimination for manufactured homes is handled through the Bureau of Motor Vehicles.
