Why Files Get Held Up

Common conditions that require review before a lender can clear the foundation.

Every property is different. These are examples of issues that may lead to corrective work or a property-specific engineering review.

Understand the certification process

Anchoring or tie-down deficiencies

Missing, damaged, or insufficient perimeter anchoring can trigger additional review and a defined retrofit scope.

Improper pier or footing conditions

Dry-stacked blocks, soil contact, settlement, or other support conditions may need correction before certification.

Foundation system does not meet the file requirement

The existing anchoring arrangement may not satisfy the property-specific permanent-foundation criteria applied to the transaction.

No engineer certification available

Even when the installation appears sound, the lender may still require a signed, property-specific engineer certification.
