Wind Mitigation Inspections

At All Seeing Home Inspection, we understand the importance of protecting your home from wind damage. We also understand wanting to mitigate the cost of home insurance. Our team of certified inspectors is here to conduct thorough wind mitigation inspections to assess your home’s wind-resistant features. From door/window coverings to the way your roof is attached and sealed, we leave no stone unturned. By identifying these protective measures, our inspections may help lower the cost of your homeowners insurance. Schedule your wind mitigation inspection with us today and gain peace of mind knowing your home is well-prepared for any storm.

The wind mitigation report will examine seven areas:

1. Construction Year: the year your home was built, which tells the home inspector how strict the building codes were
2. Roof Covering: the type of roof covering (shingle, tile, etc.) and age of the roof
3. Roof Deck: the material your roof deck (i.e. the material your shingles are nailed to) is made of, the type of nails securing the shingles, and how far apart the nails are
4. Roof To Wall Attachment: the method used to attach the roof to your walls
5. Roof Geometry: the shape and slope of your roof
6. Secondary Water Resistance: the type of material between the shingles and roof decking
7. Opening Protection: whether you have additional protections on openings such as a sunroof, garage door, windows, etc.
