Slides off its supports
The home shifts laterally on its piers. Once the home moves, it usually can't be re-leveled without major repair — the piers and jacks are damaged or destroyed.
California earthquakes don't break mobile homes — they slide them off their piers. An engineered Earthquake Resistant Bracing System (ETS) keeps your home where it belongs. We install certified ETS 107-G systems on mobile and manufactured homes across Central California. C-47 licensed. From $2,200.
An Earthquake Resistant Bracing System — sometimes called earthquake restraint or seismic bracing — is a set of engineered braces and anchors installed under the home. They tie the home to its piers and to the ground so that when an earthquake hits, the home doesn't shift off its supports.
California's HCD recognizes ETS as an essential safety upgrade for mobile and manufactured homes. The system we install — ETS 107-G — is an engineered, certified design used statewide.
The home shifts laterally on its piers. Once the home moves, it usually can't be re-leveled without major repair — the piers and jacks are damaged or destroyed.
When the home moves, the utility connections at the perimeter tear apart. Gas leaks and severed electrical lines are the most dangerous consequence — not the shake itself.
Once the home is off its supports, the framing twists and the subfloor flexes. Damage that didn't exist before the quake becomes structural repair after.
Buyers in earthquake-prone areas check whether a mobile home has bracing before making an offer. Insurance carriers do too. An unbraced home is harder to sell and to insure.
The ETS 107-G is an engineered system with a documented design — not a homemade bracket. The certification matters for insurance and for resale.
Built specifically for how mobile and manufactured homes sit on their piers — not adapted from site-built construction.
Most installations are done in a single day on-site. The home stays habitable throughout the work.
Call us or request a quote. We confirm the size of the home and your address, and give you a quote for the ETS 107-G system installation.
On-site, we check that the home is level enough for bracing. If it isn't, we recommend releveling first — and we can do it the same trip.
We install the engineered ETS 107-G bracing assemblies and anchors per the certified design, typically in a single day on-site.
You get the paperwork that documents the installed system — useful for insurance, resale, and for your own records.
The crew installing bracing under your home should know exactly how that home was put together. Owner Clinton Dotson has installed more than 800 new mobile and manufactured homes straight from the factory across 25+ years in the business. That means we know the framing, the supports, and the way these homes actually behave on their piers — before, during, and after an earthquake.
We install the same ETS 107-G system on every job — engineered, certified, and recognized by California HCD. It's the bracing system parks, insurance carriers, and buyers expect to see.

An Earthquake Resistant Bracing System — ETS, also called earthquake restraint or seismic bracing — is an engineered set of braces and anchors installed underneath a mobile or manufactured home. The bracing keeps the home from sliding off its supports during an earthquake, which is the single most common cause of catastrophic damage to mobile homes in California seismic events.
California's HCD recognizes earthquake bracing as an essential safety upgrade for mobile and manufactured homes. Without bracing, a home is held to its piers mostly by gravity. In an earthquake the home can shift off its supports, sever utility lines, and cause major structural damage. With an ETS system installed, the home stays put.
Our ETS 107-G engineered earthquake restraint system starts at $2,200. The exact price depends on the size of the home, the number of bracing assemblies required, and site conditions. Call (661) 339-8050 for an exact quote.
Most installations take one day on-site. Larger or double-wide homes can take a day and a half. You stay in the home during the work.
In many cases, yes. Some insurance carriers offer reduced premiums when a certified ETS is installed, and buyers in earthquake-prone areas often ask whether a home has bracing before they make an offer. Check directly with your insurance carrier for the current policy.
If your home is significantly out of level, yes — bracing should go on a level home so the system loads evenly. We can do both jobs back-to-back on the same trip, which is more efficient than scheduling them separately.
