The FORTIFIED Factor

In this episode of The FORTIFIED Factor, our AI Experts — informed by the team at Knockout Inspections — unpack two of the most important systems working quietly above your head: roof penetrations and ventilation.

From the way vents, pipes, and flashing are sealed, to how air moves through your attic, every detail plays a role in how well your roof performs — especially during severe weather. We’ll explain how proper installation and balanced ventilation can prevent leaks, reduce energy costs, and extend the life of your roof, all while helping your home meet FORTIFIED Home™ standards for resilience.

Whether you’re looking to upgrade your roof, prep for an inspection, or simply understand how your home breathes, this episode will give you the insight you need to stay storm-ready and structurally sound.

In this episode, you’ll learn:
  • How FORTIFIED Evaluators assess roof penetrations for long-term protection
  • The role ventilation plays in roof health and attic performance
  • Why improper sealing and airflow can lead to costly damage
  • Actionable steps to ensure your roof meets FORTIFIED standards
