A Wind Mitigation inspection is used to obtain insurance when purchasing a home. Inspectors will collect the following information during the inspection:
- Age of the home to determine which building code was used during construction
- The age of the roof
- Type of roof coverings
- The roof deck attachment
- The roof-to-wall connection
- Roof shape
- If a Secondary Water Barrier (SWR) was used underneath the roof covering
- Opening protection for all openings (garage doors, entry doors, windows, glass blocks & skylights)
