What's Included in a Wind Mitigation Verification Report?
- Free Mitigation Verification Report completed by a licensed, certified inspector with over 40 years experience, who looks for key wind-resistant features, including:
Roof Covering Analysis
We assess the type and condition of your roof covering to ensure compliance with the latest building codes, enhancing your home’s resilience.
Roof Deck Attachment
Our inspection includes a thorough check of how your roof deck is secured, focusing on nail type, length, and spacing for optimal strength.
Opening Protection Evaluation
We evaluate your windows and doors for impact resistance, including the presence of hurricane shutters, to protect against storm damage.
Roof-to-Wall Connection
A thorough roof-to-wall connection inspection examines the type of connectors such as clips, straps, and toe nails, ensuring your home’s robustness against high winds.
Roof Geometry
Understanding roof geometry is essential for optimal wind resistance; for instance, a hip roof vs. gable roof shows that hip roofs perform better in high winds, enhancing your home’s safety.
Secondary Water Resistance (SWR)
Our inspection assesses secondary water resistance, ensuring additional waterproofing under the roof covering to protect your home from leaks and water damage during severe weather.
Why it Matters
Understanding the importance of a Wind Mitigation Verification report can lead to significant benefits for homeowners. Not only does it potentially lower insurance premiums by verifying wind-resistant features, but it also enhances the safety and value of your home. This report is crucial for those living in coastal areas prone to severe weather.
