Wind Mitigation Inspection
🌪️ What is a Wind Mitigation Inspection?
A wind mitigation inspection, often called a "wind letter," is an evaluation required by insurance companies in Florida to verify your home's hurricane-resistant features. The official document produced is called the Uniform Mitigation Verification Inspection Form, and it can help you qualify for insurance discounts on the windstorm portion of your policy.
✅ What's Included?
During the inspection, a Florida-licensed home inspector, contractor, architect, or engineer will review and photograph key structural features, including:
Roof Covering
Type, age, and if it meets current Florida Building Code standards.
Roof Deck Attachment
How the roof deck is secured to the trusses or rafters.
Roof-to-Wall Attachment
Strength and type of connectors, clips, or straps holding the roof to the walls.
Roof Geometry
Shape of the roof; hip roofs provide better wind resistance than gable roofs.
Secondary Water Resistance
Additional waterproofing layers under the roof covering.
Opening Protection
Hurricane shutters or impact-resistant windows and doors.
