Wind Mitigation Inspections

A wind mitigation inspection is an inspection of the covering areas of a structure that help protect it from hurricane force winds. If these protective features are properly installed, your home can qualify for wind and or windstorm credits with any Florida homeowners insurance company. This can mean a substantial savings of up to 88% for homeowners.

Wind mitigation discounts became effective in 2003, according to Florida Statutes, insurance companies are required to offer Florida homeowners "discounts or credits" for implementing construction techniques that reduce damage or loss in windstorms.

The following items are building and construction features that reduce wind damage:

• Roof coverings such as shingles that meet the FBC requirements
• Shape of roof (hip, gable, flat, etc.)
• Roof decks that have been installed with large nails and close spacing

• Roof deck type
• Exterior openings protection
• Roof to wall attachments

A wind mitigation inspection is the most effective inspection type in lowering your insurance policy and we thrive for integrity in order to deliver an accurate inspection. We can perform these insurance mitigation inspections that help you save money year after year on the wind portion of your insurance premiums.

Although some condominium associations provide owners with a blanket wind mitigation report, many insurance companies will provide additional discounts to individuals who have their own wind mitigation inspections performed.

Inspector Qualifications Matter

Did you know?

Many home inspectors have a home inspection license without any formal education? It's true! When licensing in the state of Florida became mandatory as of July 1, 2012 anyone who was conducting business as a home inspector was "Grandfathered" into the system as a licensed home inspector.

The inspectors at Florida Inspection Services have qualifications that go way beyond the minimum Florida State requirements
