Wind Mitigation Inspection

What Is a Wind Mitigation Inspection?

A wind mitigation inspection evaluates how well your home can withstand high winds and prevent water intrusion, with a primary focus on the roof. This assessment identifies construction features that meet or exceed current wind-resistance standards, which can save you money on insurance premiums.
