Description

With so many houses recently damaged from hurricanes such as Harvey, Irma, Maria and Sandy, this course will serve to broaden the knowledge base of home inspectors. The course will include an introduction to the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) and terminology such as Base Flood Elevation and Elevation Certificates; case studies of storm-damaged houses; concerns such as structural, electrical and mold issues; strategies to minimize future storm impacts including house elevations; and items to focus on in repaired houses.
