The windstorm mitigation inspection is an optional inspection that may lower your homeowners insurance in the state of Florida.
It goes over elements of the structure that show resistance to storm damages. These elements may be pre-existing or we may suggest that you update them to prevent damage and/or provide a lower rate on your insurance premium.
What is a Wind Mitigation Inspection?
Living in Southwest Florida, we know how important it is to protect your home from hurricanes. A wind mitigation inspection is a special type of home assessment that helps identify features that can make your home more resistant to hurricane damage. This information can help you save money on your homeowners insurance.
How Does a Wind Mitigation Inspection Work?
A certified inspector will examine your home's exterior and look for features like:
- Roof covering: Type and condition of roofing materials
- Roof shape: How the roof is designed
- Roof-to-wall connections: How well the roof is attached to the walls
- Secondary water barriers: Extra protection against water damage
- Opening protection: How windows and doors are secured
- Garage door: Type and condition of the garage door
Once the inspection is complete, you'll receive a wind mitigation report detailing the features that qualify your home for potential insurance discounts.
