Wind Mitigation Inspection Melbourne FL
If your contractor has not been trained by the State of Florida for wind inspections it is likely that he or she is not completing the form correctly and you may be losing out on valuable additional discounts!
Items the inspector will look at:
- Roof covering and Date of installation
- Roof deck attachment – nails, screws, or staples along with the size and spacing
- Roof to wall attachment- nails, clips, or straps
- Roof shape and gable end bracing
- Wall construction types- usually frame or block
- Secondary water barriers- self adhering polymer modified bitumen or foam
- Opening protection- impact tested and approved products, not wind-resistant or pressure tested.
