Typical Construction Features that Reduce Wind Damage and Loss.
Windstorm Inspections often offer the customer insurance discounts as wind resistant features of the property are generally well addressed as the result of a thorough Windstorm Inspection. These features include concrete block construction, gable end bracing, a hip roof, the presence of a single or double roof straps, the type of roof covering, impact resistant glass, reinforced garage doors, window shutters, the presence of a secondary water resistance barrier, property opening protection and property topography. The insurance company will be able to calculate the amount of a discount and/or refund as the result of a certified Wind Mitigation Inspection. Generally, Homeowners save between 10% – 40% on their insurance within the first year following a Wind Mitigation Inspection.
A home may sustain severe damage during a Windstorm.
When strong winds assault a home, a number of forces come into play that will simultaneously create uplifting, shearing and lateral forces that cause massive destruction to a home. Often a Windstorm will also destroy windows and doors, allowing water to seep into the property and cause mold to grow or worse to the interior of a home.
The high winds associated with Windstorms can also blow debris onto and into the home, further destroying the property. Worst of all, in the event of a breach of the homes outer shell, the high powered winds can cause the roof to come up or even off as the combination of forces of Nature wreak havoc on an unprotected structure. Installing wind-resistance features will help to protect your property and family from the damage of a Windstorm. Therefore, a Wind Mitigation Inspection can offer countless benefits to the wellbeing of your property and family.

During a Wind Mitigation Inspection, a Certified Windstorm Inspector will come to your property and look for key features that show that it will be less likely to be harmed or catastrophically damaged during a hurricane or strong Windstorm. This allows our Wind Mitigation Inspector to give your home a certificate stating that it is better equipped to endure such an event than a home lacking these features. Allowing you to pay much less for Homeowners Insurance coverage. Since properties that have been Inspected by a Windstorm Mitigation Inspector suffer less wind damage, the insurers are willing to lower their fees. If that were not enough, many states mandate that insurance companies reduce their rates for homes with Wind Mitigation Inspection certificates and features. So, with aWind Mitigation Inspection certificate in hand, you are guaranteed to pay less money per month than a Homeowner who has not invested in a Wind Mitigation Inspection. You may even qualify for a refund check from your insurer once you have had your home inspected by a Wind Mitigation Inspector.
