When you schedule a wind mitigation inspection, experts are looking at specific parts of your home. They want to see signs your home is prepared for windstorms. One of the most important things inspectors do is look at your roof. During a windstorm, the roof is one of your primary barriers of protection. Unfortunately, it’s also one of the most easily forgotten about areas of a home. Small damages to the roof can go unnoticed during inspections.

An inspector’s job is to complete a thorough assessment of preset areas of your home. A wind mitigation inspector needs access to your roof to look for problems and protective features. Things like a secondary water resistant barrier can prevent unnecessary damage. To get to these areas, inspectors need clear access to your attic.

What does this mean for you? Before any inspection, always make sure access to your attic is clear. This could mean moving things around in your attic or the access points to your attic. If you do, it can speed up the process and ensure thorough results.

Catch Problems Early with Windstorm Inspections
A wind mitigation inspector can get into your attic and other areas to inspect your home. Wind mitigation provides a way to identify problems that could put your home at risk. It can also identify safety features that offer your home extra protection against the effects of a windstorm.

When you identify strengths and issues early on, you can prevent damage. You can also take advantage of opportunities to install extra safety features like a secondary layer of protection on your roof. The roof is one of the most commonly missed areas during an inspection. This makes it more important to ensure inspectors have proper access to the attic.
