A Wind Mitigation Inspection is a valuable inspection service that may reduce your windstorm insurance. Wind Insurance discounts are available for building features that reduce damage during high wind events.

The Wind Mitigation discounts are justified because stronger, more wind-resistive structures have lower windstorm losses, which mean reduced costs to insurance companies. Most existing structures have one or more wind resistive construction features and may qualify for some Wind Mitigation insurance discounts.

Wind Mitigation Inspections are available for all single family homes, townhouses, condos and commercial buildings.
Homeowner’s and Condo Associations also qualify for wind mitigation credits. Call to see if a Wind Mitigation Inspection would be recommended. The State of Florida REQUIRES Insurance Companies to offer REDUCED RATES for certain Wind Mitigation features.

We will document the Wind Mitigation features present in your home and produce a WIND MITIGATION CERTIFICATE for you to use inorder to receive your wind mitigation credits on your Wind Insurance policy.

Uniform Mitigation Verification Inspection Form (OIR-B1-1802)
Windstorm construction features protect your home from catastrophic hurricane damage by strengthening your homes ability to withstand the uplift, shear and lateral forces of the wind associated with a hurricane to the exterior shell of your home.
The features enhance the vulnerable components of your home’s protective shell or envelope by fortifying your roof, exterior walls, windows and doors so they will not breach or fail in high winds.
If this protective shell or envelope is breached, not only can wind-driven rain and debris enter your home causing considerable damage to its interior, but the high winds can enter your home and exert pressure on your walls and roof leading to catastrophic damage to your property.
Schedule your Wind Mitigation Inspection and receive your WIND MITIGATION CERTIFICATION upon completion of the inspection.
Wind Mitigation inspections look for construction features that have been shown to reduce losses in hurricanes, such as a hip roof, concrete block construction, the presence of gable end bracing, shutters and opening protections, the presence of single or double roof straps, and the presence of a secondary water resistance barrier.
A homeowner with windstorm insurance can submit the results of a windstorm inspection to their insurer to obtain discounts on their windstorm insurance. In Florida, for example, premium discounts for certain favorable wind mitigation features are mandated by State law and can total 45% of the original windstorm policy’s premium.
