A wind mitigation inspection looks at seven key areas of your roof to determine its ability to withstand strong winds and water intrusion.
During a storm (yes, even a typical summer thunderstorm), heavy winds can push rain against your home where it will find its way into any crack or crevice.
Your roof is the first line of defense against wind and rain which is why wind mitigation inspections focus on your roof.
Obviously, the newer, stronger, and better constructed your roof is, the more protection it can provide against wind damage, and the better your wind mitigation report will be. Your wind mitigation inspection is good for five years, but if repairs are done to your roof within five years, a new inspection may be required.
