Windstorm inspections are regular things for residents of Florida. With a well-known risk of hurricanes, Florida has some of the highest home insurance rates in the country. Some insurance companies hesitate to provide insurance options at all. Some areas have been spared serious damage for years, but even one storm can cause millions in damage. Unfortunately, that could put small insurance companies out of business. Even for large companies, it can make a significant impact. This is why insurance companies and public officials want to mitigate the damage as much as possible.
Inspectors look at different parts of the home. The roof is one of the most important parts of any home inspection. It’s often missed by less experienced professionals. As the home’s first defense against the elements, it should always be strong and leak-free. Especially as homes age, it’s not abnormal for roofs to fail. Sometimes, you need to fix small parts. Other times, you’ll have to replace the whole roof. Left unfixed, a leaky roof can cause damage to your home associated with mold and other problems. In a windstorm, it can multiply the damages.
So whenever you schedule a wind mitigation inspection, always make sure the access to your attic is clear. This way, inspectors can fully inspect your home.
