Wind Mitigation Inspection in Southwest Florida
A wind mitigation inspection documents the construction features that may help a home resist wind damage and that Florida insurers use when evaluating available windstorm mitigation credits. We inspect and photograph qualifying features such as the roof covering, roof deck attachment, roof-to-wall connections, roof shape, secondary water resistance and opening protection when they can be verified.
A focused Florida insurance inspection of wind-resistant construction features.
A wind mitigation inspection is not a full home inspection. It is a focused inspection used to document specific construction features that may reduce windstorm damage. In Florida, insurers use the Uniform Mitigation Verification Inspection Form to evaluate qualifying features for available windstorm mitigation credits or other rating considerations.
We inspect the accessible areas of the home, photograph the features we can verify and complete the required documentation. The inspection itself does not determine your insurance premium or guarantee a discount; your insurance carrier makes that determination based on its underwriting and rating rules.
The report helps your insurer document qualifying wind-mitigation features.
Florida property insurers use verified construction features when evaluating windstorm mitigation credits and other rating factors. Features that may matter include roof strength and attachment, roof-to-wall connections, roof shape, opening protection and other construction details designed to reduce wind damage. The amount of any credit or premium change is determined by the insurance carrier, not the inspector.
A current wind mitigation report can give your insurance carrier documented information about the home’s qualifying wind-resistant features.
Wind mitigation can be scheduled with a full home inspection when you also need insurance-related documentation for the property.
We regularly inspect homes throughout Cape Coral, Fort Myers, Naples, Bonita Springs, Estero, Lehigh Acres, Punta Gorda, Port Charlotte and surrounding SWFL communities.
Common questions about Florida wind mitigation inspections.
What is the difference between a wind mitigation inspection and a full home inspection?
A wind mitigation inspection is focused specifically on construction features used for windstorm insurance evaluation. A full home inspection is a broader evaluation of the home’s major systems and accessible components.
Can a wind mitigation inspection lower my homeowners insurance?
The inspection documents qualifying wind-resistant features that an insurer may use when determining available credits or discounts. Eagle Eye does not determine or guarantee the amount of any insurance savings.
What does the inspector need access to?
Access to the attic is often important because roof deck attachment and roof-to-wall connections may need to be documented. We also inspect and photograph applicable exterior openings and other accessible qualifying features.
Can I schedule a 4-Point inspection at the same time?
Yes. Many Florida homeowners schedule a 4-Point inspection and wind mitigation inspection during the same visit when both are requested by their insurance carrier.
