What is a Wind Mitigation Inspection?
A Wind Mitigation Inspection evaluates your home’s ability to resist high winds and water intrusion, especially during hurricanes. This inspection focuses on your roof, the first line of defense against severe weather. By identifying structural features, it helps determine your home’s wind resistance and can qualify you for potential insurance discounts.
What’s Included in a Wind Mitigation Inspection?
At BVA Home Inspections, our certified Florida inspectors check critical factors that can help you qualify for discounts on your homeowners’ insurance. Here’s what we assess:
- Roof Geometry: The shape and style of your roof, such as a hip roof, which often qualifies for higher discounts.
- Roof Deck Attachment: We inspect the sheathing thickness, rafter spacing, and nails used to secure the roof to the rafters.
- Roof Coverings: We review the type and age of the roof covering, including any permits related to your roof.
- Roof-to-Wall Attachment: We check for structural elements like clips, wraps, toe nails, or bolts that secure the roof to the walls.
- Secondary Water Resistance (SWR): We evaluate the installation of water-resistant barriers to prevent water intrusion if the roof is damaged.
- Protection of Openings: We assess the protection level of your windows, doors, garage doors, and other openings against wind damage.
These factors are included in your detailed wind mitigation report. Your home’s design will directly influence the insurance discounts you may receive.
How Much Does a Wind Mitigation Inspection Cost?
A typical Wind Mitigation Inspection costs between $75 to $150. Many homeowners experience a significant reduction in their insurance premiums following the inspection. In many cases, the savings on your premiums will offset the inspection cost within 1-2 months. The inspection usually takes 30 minutes to 1 hour, depending on the size of the home.
