About the Wind Mitigation Inspection
What is a Wind Mitigation Inspection?
A Wind Mitigation Inspection evaluates a property's features and construction to determine how well it can withstand high winds, particularly from hurricanes and severe storms. This type of inspection focuses on key elements of a building's design and construction that impact its ability to resist wind damage, including:
-
Roof Covering: The type and condition of roofing materials and how they are attached.
-
Roof Deck Attachment: The strength of the connection between the roof deck and the structural frame.
-
Roof-to-Wall Connection: How well the roof is secured to the walls of the building.
-
Windows and Doors: The presence and quality of impact-resistant windows and doors.
-
Garage Doors: The type and strength of garage doors and their resistance to wind pressure.
Why is a Wind Mitigation Inspection Especially Important in Florida?

Many insurance companies offer discounts for properties that demonstrate strong wind resistance features, making this inspection not only a safety measure but also a potential cost-saving opportunity.
