Wind Mitigation Inspections in Florida

Most Insurance Companies in Florida require Wind Mitigation Inspections before they will provide insurance on a home.

A Wind Mitigation Inspection is a crucial assessment that reports on features allowing the insurance company to gauge how well your home can withstand Hurricane and Tropical Storm force winds. What’s even better, depending on the wind resistance features of your home, insurance companies may offer you significant discounts. Known as Wind Mitigation Discounts, these are for the wind portion of your homeowner’s insurance policy. These Windstorm Insurance Credits can lead to substantial savings.

Our Wind Mitigation Inspection Services

During a Wind Mitigation Inspection, our experienced team meticulously examines, documents, and photographs the following key factors:

• Roof Covering: We assess the type and condition of your roof covering to determine its wind resistance, providing you with a detailed Wind Mitigation Report.
• Roof Shape: The shape of your roof plays a significant role in wind mitigation. We evaluate its design and shape to provide accurate insights, ensuring you receive the best possible Wind Mitigation Certification.
• Roof Deck Attachment: The way your roof is attached to the underlying structure is critical. We inspect this attachment to determine if it meets the necessary wind resistance standards and report on the Wind-Resistant Roofing features.
• Roof-to-Wall Connections: The strength of your roof-to-wall connections is vital in hurricane-prone areas. We assess and report on the effectiveness of your Hurricane-Resistant Construction.
• Secondary Water Resistance: An essential component of wind mitigation, secondary water resistance safeguards your home from water intrusion in case of storm damage. We evaluate and report its presence if visible.
• Protection of Openings: Protecting openings, such as windows and doors, is vital during windstorms. We assess the strength of these protective features to determine the level of safety they provide.
