Help! Possible no tie downs, home seems quite unstable
Posted: Sun Jun 09, 2019 10:00 am
Hi all!
I purchased a 1994 mobile home a couple of years ago. Previous owner was the only owner and did not do any maintenance. When my kids/dog walk around home, I can feel it shaking while in my bed. It drives me nuts. Yes, whole home shakes with spin cycle on washing machine. I had home leveled. I have started researching ways to stop the shaking and add more stability. It appears s though my home does not have any tie downs. I believe I am in Zone 1 for winds (mountains of Colorado).
Will tie downs help the shaking?
Any ideas on how to make my home more stable?
Do I need tie downs if my home has lasted since 1994 without?
Thank you!
