The Windstorm Mitigation Inspection
Property insurance is an expense that all homeowners with a mortgage pay. It is usually part of your monthly mortgage payment. However, most homeowners don’t know how they may reduce that cost. It is done by having a windstorm mitigation inspection. A windstorm mitigation inspection, is a kind of home inspection that determines the appropriateness of a given structure's construction in the event of a hurricane or strong winds.
Windstorm inspections look for construction features that have been shown to reduce losses in hurricanes, such as hip roofs, CBS construction, the presence of appropriate bracings and opening protections such as shutters and or impact windows.
A homeowner can submit the results of a windstorm inspection to their insurer to obtain discounts on their windstorm insurance. The savings can be significant, up to 45% premium discounts for certain favorable wind mitigation features.
In Florida, a wind mitigation inspection is performed by a licensed general contractor, building contractor, architect, engineer, building inspector or home inspector. The information gathered is presented on a standard wind mitigation form, OIR-B1-1802, commonly referred to as the 1802 form. As of Feb 1, 2012, all inspections must have photos showing each feature listed on the wind mitigation form.
