Wind Mitigation Inspections in South Florida
✅ Why a Wind Mitigation Inspection Matters
Living in South Florida means enjoying year-round sunshine—but it also means being prepared for hurricanes and high-wind storms. A Wind Mitigation Inspection is a vital step in protecting your property, saving on insurance premiums, and ensuring your home meets state-required safety standards.
At CBG Home Inspections, we specialize in detailed, insurance-approved wind mitigation inspections for residential properties across Broward, Palm Beach, and Miami-Dade Counties. With fast 24-hour reporting, modern tools, and a commitment to integrity, we help homeowners and real estate professionals secure accurate reports and better premiums.
✅ What Is a Wind Mitigation Inspection?
A Wind Mitigation Inspection assesses your home’s construction features and upgrades that help resist hurricane-force winds. Florida insurance companies often offer substantial discounts if your home includes certain wind-resistant features. Our inspection is designed to document those features and help you qualify for those savings.
✅ What We Inspect During a Wind Mitigation
We thoroughly assess the following components of your home:
🏠 Roof Shape & Covering
Is your roof a hip shape (most wind-resistant)?
What type of shingles or tiles are used?
Is your roof installed according to current Florida Building Code?
🔩 Roof-to-Wall Connections
Are hurricane straps or clips used?
Are nails or screws present for enhanced stability?
📐 Roof Deck Attachment
Type of sheathing used (e.g., plywood thickness)
Nail size, pattern, and spacing
🪟 Opening Protection
Are windows and doors impact-resistant?
Do you have shutters, impact glass, or rated garage doors?
💨 Secondary Water Resistance (SWR)
Underlayment layer that protects your home in case shingles fail
Can prevent costly water intrusion
