A wind mitigation inspection is a professional assessment conducted by a certified inspector to evaluate 
how well a home can resist wind damage, particularly from hurricanes and severe storms. This inspection 
focuses on specific features of the home that can help reduce the risk of damage during high winds. Key 
elements evaluated during the inspection include:

1. Roof Covering: The type and age of the roof covering are assessed to ensure compliance with ​building codes.
2. Roof Deck Attachment: Inspectors check how the roof decking is secured to the structure, looking for strong connections.

    3. Roof-to-Wall Connections: The method of attachment between the roof and walls is evaluated         
        including the presence of hurricane clips or straps.
    4. Secondary Water Resistance: This involves checking for additional layers that prevent leaks in case
        of roof damage.
    5. Opening Protection: The presence of impact-resistant windows, storm shutters, or reinforced garage
        doors are assessed.
    6. Roof Geometry: The shape of the roof can affect wind resistance, with hip roofs generally being more 
        resilient than gable roofs.

Insurance Discounts: Homeowners can often receive significant discounts on their insurance premiums. In Florida insurance companies are required to offer discounts to homes with wind resistant features. 
Enhanced Safety: By identifying and reinforcing vulnerable areas, homeowners can better protect their
​ properties from storm damage.
