Wind Mitigation
Generally, a wind mitigation inspection is needed to determine which credits apply to a home. During a wind mitigation inspection, your A Buyer’s Choice certified inspector looks for key features and add-ons that reduce the amount of damage your home may suffer in the event of a hurricane or strong windstorm.
What is a Wind Mitigation Inspection?
Wind mitigation inspection is an evaluation of a property’s resistance to high winds, such as those caused by hurricanes, tornadoes, or other severe weather conditions. The inspection typically involves a thorough examination of a building’s roof, windows, doors, and other structural elements that are most susceptible to wind damage. The inspector will assess the construction methods, materials used, and other features of the property that can help reduce the risk of wind damage.
The goal of wind mitigation inspection is to identify ways to improve a property’s resistance to high winds and provide homeowners with recommendations for strengthening their property against wind damage, potentially leading to lower insurance premiums.
