Wind mitigation is an inspection that may qualify a property for discounts on windstorm insurance. These discounts reward those who have wind-resistance features on their property that decrease the amount of damage that may occur during a windstorm. Less damage equals less costs to insurance companies. These savings are passed on to the homeowner in the form of wind mitigation discounts.
Why Do I Need It?
The primary factors in wind mitigation discounts are the wind resistant features of the property. These features include concrete block construction, gable end bracing, a hip roof, the presence of single or double roof straps, the type of roof covering, impact resistant glass, reinforced garage doors, window shutters, the presence of a secondary water resistance barrier, property opening protection, and property topography. Using the wind mitigation certification, the insurance company will be able to calculate the amount of discount and refund. On average, homeowners save between 10% - 40% in the first year.
