Wind Mitigation Inspection $90
Suncoast Certified Home Inspections provides Wind Mitigation Inspections to identify key features of your home that help mitigate wind damage. In Florida, where strong winds from hurricanes and storms are common, these features can make a significant difference in protecting your property. Florida law requires insurance companies to offer discounts for homes that meet wind mitigation standards, making this inspection a valuable way to reduce your insurance premiums while ensuring your home is better equipped to withstand severe weather.
What We Look For
During a Wind Mitigation Inspection, we evaluate:
Roof Shape: Gable vs. hip roofs, with hip roofs being more resistant to wind damage.
Roof-to-Wall Attachment: The method used to attach the roof to the home’s walls, such as clips, straps, or anchors.
Roof Deck Attachment: How well the roof deck is fastened to the structure, including the type of nails and their spacing.
Roof Covering: The material and age of the roof covering, whether it's shingles, tiles, or metal.
Impact-Resistant Windows and Doors: Checking for impact-resistant windows, doors, or shutters that protect against flying debris.
Secondary Water Barrier: Verifying if the home has a secondary water barrier to prevent water intrusion in case of roof damage.
