Wind Mitigation Inspection

Wind Mitigation Inspections for Florida Homeowners

A wind mitigation inspection documents wind-resistant features of your home that may be useful for homeowners insurance requirements or potential insurance savings.

What Is a Wind Mitigation Inspection?

A wind mitigation inspection reviews specific construction features that may help a home better withstand high wind conditions. In Florida, insurance companies often use this report to document qualifying features that may affect homeowners insurance premiums.

This inspection is different from a full home inspection. It focuses on wind-resistant construction details, such as roof covering, roof deck attachment, roof-to-wall connections, opening protection, and other qualifying features.

Chastain Home Inspections provides wind mitigation inspections for homeowners, buyers, sellers, and insurance needs throughout Gainesville and North Central Florida.
