What the report covers.
Every PE-sealed report Scapular issues — regardless of which service line or which Salina 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 Salina properties, the KS PE license is the one printed on that page.
Common questions for Kansas.
Questions specific to Salina inspection requests and Kansas state requirements.
01 Does Kansas require a PE for FHA manufactured home inspections? +
Yes. FHA requires a state-licensed engineer under HUD 4000.1. Our P.E. holds an active Kansas license. Every Kansas property report is signed under the Kansas PE license.
02 What office records affixation documents in Kansas? +
Kansas affidavits of affixation are filed with the register of deeds in the county where the home is located. Title elimination is handled by the Kansas Division of Vehicles. We provide the PE-sealed engineering documentation; your title company handles the filings.
03 Do you cover both sides of the Kansas City metro? +
Yes. We hold PE licenses in both Missouri (primary) and Kansas (reciprocal), so properties on either side of the state line are covered under a single engagement — no need to coordinate between two separate engineering firms.
04 Do you do home inspections in Salina? +
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.
Saline County recording note: In Kansas, affidavits of affixation are recorded at the county register of deeds. Kansas title elimination for manufactured homes is handled by the Division of Vehicles.
