Wind Mitigation

Description

Up to 70% of home insurance premiums in Florida can be attributed to wind-damage risk according to the Florida Division of Emergency Management. A wind mitigation inspection is needed to determine which credits apply to a home. During a wind mitigation inspection, the structure is checked for overall stability and to find structural improvements that will help prevent high wind damage to the property – windows and doors that are not impact rated, or protected by shutters for hurricane force winds, unsecured roofs, loose roof tiles, loose and broken gutters. Hurricane force winds cause roofs to collapse, windows to break, and doors to be blown off their hinges. Blair’s Property Inspections will check the roof, windows, doors, and the property’s overall structure so you can make the improvements that will protect the structure. Wind mitigation inspections save lives and are essential in finding homes and buildings that will be severely damaged by wind. Blair’s will check for dangerous structural issues that do not meet Florida’s building codes. A wind mitigation inspection brings you peace of mind and long-term savings on your homeowner’s insurance premiums. Wind mitigation is requested by insurance providers in all hurricane zones.
