Wind Mitigation in Orlando, FL

What is Wind Mitigation?

Wind mitigation is the process of identifying and implementing measures to strengthen a home's resistance to wind damage, particularly during hurricanes and severe storms. During a wind mitigation inspection, our certified inspectors evaluate various aspects of your home's construction and design to determine its ability to withstand high winds. By identifying vulnerabilities and recommending mitigation measures, we help minimize the risk of wind-related damage and enhance the safety and durability of your home.

The Importance of Wind Mitigation in Home Inspections

Wind mitigation plays a crucial role in the overall home inspection process, as it helps homeowners:

• Reduce Insurance Premiums: Many insurance companies offer discounts on homeowners insurance premiums for properties with wind mitigation features. By investing in wind mitigation measures, homeowners can potentially save money on insurance costs while increasing their home's protection.

• Enhance Structural Integrity: Wind mitigation measures, such as reinforcing roof structures and installing impact-resistant windows and doors, help strengthen the overall structural integrity of a home. This not only protects the property from wind damage but also improves its longevity and durability.

• Minimize Damage Risk: By identifying and addressing potential vulnerabilities before a storm strikes, wind mitigation helps minimize the risk of damage to the home and its contents. This proactive approach can save homeowners costly repairs and disruptions in the event of severe weather.

• Ensure Safety: A home that has undergone wind mitigation measures is better equipped to withstand extreme weather conditions, ensuring the safety and security of its occupants. By fortifying the property against wind-related hazards, homeowners can have peace of mind knowing that their loved ones are protected.
  

Our Wind Mitigation Inspection Process

During a wind mitigation inspection with Inspector Express, our certified inspectors will:

1. Evaluate the roof covering, roof deck attachment, roof-to-wall connections, and roof geometry to assess its resistance to wind uplift.
   
   
2. Inspect the exterior openings, including windows, doors, and garage doors, to determine their ability to withstand wind pressure and impact.
   
   
3. Assess the presence of secondary water resistance, such as roofing underlayment or sealants, to prevent water intrusion during high winds.
   
   
4. Provide recommendations for wind mitigation measures based on the findings of the inspection.
