The Need for Wind Mitigations

• For homes built prior to FBC2001 or SFBC94: is it

possible for them to have enhanced features that

would minimize wind damage?

• Yes

• How can it be proven?

• Get an inspection

• How does the state convince home owners to get an inspection?

• Offer a discount off their insurance coverage if they have specific features

• How does the state convince insurance carriers to offer the

discount?

• Make it a Florida Statute

The Need for Wind Mitigations

• 627.711(2)(a)• An insurer shall accept as valid a uniform mitigation verification

form signed by the following authorized mitigation inspectors:1. A home inspector licensed under s. 468.8314 who has completed at least

3 hours of hurricane mitigation training approved by the Construction Industry Licensing Board which includes hurricane mitigation techniques and compliance with the uniform mitigation verification form and completion of a proficiency exam;

2. A building code inspector certified under s. 468.607;

3. A general, building, or residential contractor licensed under s. 489.111;

4. A professional engineer licensed under s. 471.015;

5. A professional architect licensed under s. 481.213; or

6. Any other individual or entity recognized by the insurer as possessing the necessary qualifications to properly complete a uniform mitigation verification form.

Florida Statutes

• 627.711(3)• A person who is authorized to sign a mitigation verification form

must inspect the structures referenced by the form personally, not through employees or other persons, and must certify or attest to personal inspection of the structures referenced by the form. However, licensees under s. 471.015 (Professional Engineer) or s. 489.111 (Division I Contractor) may authorize a direct employee, who is not an independent contractor, and who possesses the requisite skill, knowledge and experience, to conduct a mitigation verification inspection. Insurers shall have the right to request and obtain information from the authorized mitigation inspector under s. 471.015 or s. 489.111, regarding any authorized employee’s qualifications prior to accepting a mitigation verification form performed by an employee that is not licensed under s. 471.015 or s. 489.111.

• Any documentation means

• Permits

• Florida Product Approvals (FL-PA) or Notice of Acceptances (NOA)

• Owner-provided invoices or documentation

• Photographs for question 3-7 must be

• Clear

• In color

• Minimize underwriter questions by properly documenting the report

• Remember every question requires a photograph, documentation, or both

• Make it so an 18-year-old college intern with no construction or inspection experience can

understand what you are inspecting

Question 1 – Building Code

Question 2 – Roof Covering

• Follows the same rules as question 1 above.


• This is where any and all supporting documentation needs to be collected.

• Permits

• Roofing invoices

• Roofing contracts


• Check any and all roofing types that are on the building being inspected.


• Add the application date for each material selected.


• If you have access to any packaging or documentation add the product approval

number if it is listed.


• If you are unable to locate the permit, but the owner has a paid invoice, add the

year of the invoice and get a copy/photo of that invoice.


• If you are unable to locate any documentation then you have to check the “No

Information” box.

Question 3 – Roof Deck Attachment

• What is the purpose of having a properly attached roof deck?

• Provides a solid foundation to attached roofing material

• Prevents the roof from exploding during a wind event


• Camera w/Flash• To document you findings

• Flash Light• To see what you are doing

• Zircon• To identify nail spacing/length

• A Thin Ruler• To measure deck thickness

• A Tape/Rule• To measure nail spacing/length

• A Marker• To mark nail locations

FIELD



• Staples and 6d nails were installed on homes built in the 80’s

• Just because you see them does not mean the deck has not

been re-nailed


• 8d nails spaced at 12” in the field were installed on homes

built in the 90’s


• 8d nails spaced at 6” in the field were installed on homes

built under FBC 2001 and

• On re-roofs after FBC 2007

• Verifying the RDA

• Know the type of roof deck

• Dimensional lumber

• 1x12 – requires a minimum of two (2) nails per board






• Typically ¾” in depth






• Typically ¾” in depth

• Tongue & groove lumber

• 1x6 – two (2) nails typical

• Pay attention to nails at the joints, as these are not completely holding the deck

• Nails should be located in the middle of each board




• OSB

• Oriented strand board

• 4x8 sheets

• Typically 7/16” thick (½”)


• Verifying the RDA• Know the type of roof deck

• OSB• Oriented strand board

• 4x8 sheets

• Typically 7/16” thick (½”)

• Plywood• 4x8 sheets

• 3/8” installed late ’70s – ‘80s

• 7/16” thick (½”) more common and required by FBC and the OIR

• ¾” not unheard of for tile roofs


• How to verify the edge or the

field of the plywood deck

• Check at least four (4)

trusses/rafters in a row

• Look for consistency of the

rings of the wood from each

side of truss

• If there is a ridge vent, run

your finger above the truss and

feel for the edge of the plywood

RTW Retrofits by

Roofing Contractors

• Re-roofing affidavits

• Homes with a property appraiser value of $300,000 or more are required to be evaluated by a licensed professional.• NOTE: Building Inspectors licensed under FS 468 (468.601-468.633) does not include Home Inspectors

(468.468-468.8325)

Division I Contractor/Architect/Engineer

FBC 2014 – Existing Building

SECTION 708REROOFING

708.8.1 Roof-to-wall connections for site-built single-

family residential structures.

Where required by Section 708.8, the intersection of roof

framing with the wall below shall provide sufficient resistance

to meet the uplift loads specified in Table 708.8.1, either

because of existing conditions or through retrofit measures.

As an alternative to an engineered design, the prescriptive

retrofit solutions provided in

Sections 708.8.1.1 through 708.8.1.7 shall be accepted as

meeting the mandated roof-to-wall retrofit requirements.

Exceptions:

1. Where it can be demonstrated (by code adoption date

documentation and permit issuance date) that roof-to-wall

connections and/or roof-to-foundation continuous load path

requirements were required at the time of original

construction.

2. Roof-to-wall connections shall not be required unless

evaluation and installation of connections at gable ends or all

corners can be completed for 15 percent of the cost of roof

replacement.

RTW Retrofit

• If the cost of retrofitting the corners and/or gable-ends is 15% or greater of the re-roof cost, then the property is exempt from the required retrofit.

• Corners = outside corners of 3 trusses or 6’, whichever is greater.

For SI: 1 foot = 304.8 mm; 1 pound per linear foot = 1.488 kg/m; 1 mile per hour = 0.305 m/s.

a. The uplift loads are pounds per lineal foot of building length. For roof uplift connections multiply by 1.33 for framing spaced 16-inches on center and multiply by 2 for framing spaced 24-

inches on center.

b. The uplift loads do not account for the effects of overhangs. The magnitude of the above loads shall be increased by adding the overhang loads found in the table. The overhang loads are

also based on framing spaced 12-inches on center. The overhang loads given shall be multiplied by the overhang projection and added to the roof uplift value in the table.

c. For Ultimate design wind speeds, Vult, greater than 170 mph, wind uplift forces shall be determined in accordance with Florida Building Code, Residential, Section R802.2 or ASCE 7.

d. Ultimate Design Wind Speeds determined from Figure 1609A in the Florida Building Code, Building or Figure R301.2(4) in the Florida Building Code, Residential.

Question 5 – Roof Geometry

Determining Geometry




Is It Structurally Attached?

NO – Attached directly to the fascia


NO – Attached directly to the wall


YES – Attached directly to the wall and

is part of the interior envelope of the

structure.



YES – Because detachment from the

main roof would expose the home to

damage.
