wind mitigation Inspection
In Florida, a single hurricane can result in billions of dollars in damage. So, it’s crucial for homeowners, buyers, and sellers to consider a wind mitigation inspection. A wind mitigation inspection lets home insurance companies know how well your home can withstand hurricane-strength winds and can help you save up to 55% on your home insurance premiums.
what IS A wind mitigation inspection?
A wind mitigation is an inspection that determines the structure’s construction in the event of strong winds, such as those present in a hurricane. The inspection looks for hurricane protection for windows and doors along with how the roof is installed and attached, etc. A homeowner with windstorm insurance can often submit the results of a wind mitigation inspection to their insurer to obtain discounts on their windstorm insurance.
Why Do I Need A wind mitigation Inspection?
Home insurance companies focus on evaluating and handling risk. In the state of Florida where strong winds can cause serious damage, you should expect an insurance premium. However, most insurance companies will require you to get a wind mitigation inspection to take advantage of the discounts it can provide and possibly cut some of these expenses.
A wind mitigation report is provided after a home inspector performs an inspection and looks for techniques to make your home less vulnerable to the risks brought by strong winds (for example, roof deck attachment, shutters, or other construction features). By taking good care of windows, doors, walls, and roofs, your home can be prepared for these winds.
