Wind Mitigation

Wind mitigation inspections are not just required by most insurance companies, but they are a vital part of our state's safety as well. A proper wind mitigation inspection can help ensure your property is up to code with Florida building codes and benchmarks, which will ultimately save you money on your homeowners insurance premiums. Another benefit of this comprehensive inspection is that once you complete it, you can rest easy knowing that your property is safe from wind damage and ready for any storms that may come your way.

During a wind mitigation inspection, we will look for significant factors that could lead to damage during hurricane season such as:

Missing or poorly installed roofing

Damage from previous hurricanes

Water damage and rot

Improper shutters or hurricane panels

Exposed electrical wire and terminals 

Damaged entry points (doors, garage doors, windows)

Improper accordions, shutters, and/or shatterproof windows

We also go into the attic and ensure that the roof strap is connected properly to both the roof and the walls.

Typically, wind mitigation is just one aspect of the home inspection. The entire inspection takes around 1-2 hours. Once the inspection is complete, the inspector will take 2-3 hours to write up the report. These reports are usually sent to the client the same day of the inspection, but it is significant to note that if the inspection is conducted later in the afternoon, the client won't receive the report until the next day. We send the report through Spectora, which will both text and email the client with the details.
