Evaluating Roof, Walls & Windows
Wind Mitigation Analysis
A wind mitigation inspection, or windstorm inspection, is a specialty inspection that determines how wind resistant a home is. By evaluating key features like roof construction, roof-to-wall connections, and opening protection, this inspection identifies how well your home can withstand high winds.
01
Roof Covering
This involves checking the type of roofing material, its age, and its condition.Inspectors also look at how it's attached to the roof deck.
02
Roof Deck Attachment
Inspectors assess how the roof decking (usually plywood or oriented strand board) is attached to the roof structure. They examine the type of fasteners used (nails or staples) and their spacing.
03
Roof-to-Wall Connections
This is a critical aspect, as it determines how well the roof is secured to the walls. Inspectors look for features like hurricane straps or clips that reinforce these connections.
04
Roof Shape
The shape of the roof plays a role in its wind resistance. Hip roofs, for example, tend to perform better in high winds than gable roofs.
05
Secondary Water Resistance (SWR)
Inspectors check for the presence of a secondary water barrier under the roof covering. This barrier helps prevent water intrusion if the roof is damaged.
06
Opening Protection
This involves evaluating the protection of windows and doors. Inspectors look for features like impact-resistant glass, storm shutters, and reinforced doors.
04
Wall Construction Type
The type of wall construction is also a factor in how well a structure will hold up to high winds.
01
Verified Feature Discounts
Insurers offer specific discounts for each documented wind-resistant feature, such as reinforced roof-to-wall connections or impact-resistant windows.
02
Tiered Savings Based on Strength
The level of savings often correlates with the strength and effectiveness of the wind mitigation features, with stronger protections yielding larger discounts.
03
Cumulative Effect of Upgrades
Implementing multiple wind-resistant upgrades, like a hip roof and reinforced openings, can compound savings, resulting in a significantly lower overall premium.
04
Location-Specific Rating Factors
Insurance companies consider the geographical risk of windstorms when determining premium savings, meaning that the impact of wind-resistant features varies by location.
