What is a Wind Mitigation Inspection?

A wind mitigation inspection is a specialized home inspection that evaluates a property’s ability to withstand strong winds and tropical storms, which can cause severe damage. The benefits of a wind mitigation inspection include potential insurance premium discounts, improved safety, increased resale value, and peace of mind.

Insurance companies offer discounts to homeowners who fortify their homes against wind damage, which can result in lower insurance premiums. Wind mitigation inspections can identify areas of vulnerability and suggest repairs and improvements to make a property safer for its residents. A home that has undergone a wind mitigation inspection and has been fortified against wind damage may be more attractive to potential buyers, leading to a higher resale value.
