Wind mitigation is the fulfillment of specific building practices in order to limit
damage caused by vicious wind conditions. Wind mitigation is designed to limit the amount of windstorm damage to a structure. Prior to hurricane Andrew, Florida passed a law which stipulates insurance companies to offer their clients credits or discounts for construction features that reduce damage or loss from extreme force winds. Numerous incentives are provided to motivate homeowners to administer these enhancements.
The qualified inspectors at Pittmen Capital Services can determine which
improvements are needed.
Building features that reduce wind damage and loss:
• Roof deck attachment.
• Roof covering.
• Secondary water resistance.
• Protection of openings (doors & windows).
• Roof to wall connection.
• Roof shape and bracing of gable ends.
