A Miami Dade Windstorm-Hurricane-Wind Mitigation Inspection is a valuable Miami Dade Inspection service that may reduce your Miami Dade Windstorm-Hurricane Insurance. Windstorm-Hurricane Insurance discounts are available for building features that reduce damage during high Windstorm-Hurricane events. The Windstorm-Hurricane discounts are justified because stronger, more Windstorm-Hurricane -resistive structures have lower Windstorm-Hurricane losses, which mean reduced costs to Insurance companies. Most existing structures have one or more Windstorm-Hurricane resistive construction features and may qualify for some Windstorm-Hurricane Insurance discounts.
Miami Dade Windstorm-Hurricane-Wind Mitigation Inspection can be performed for all single family homes, townhouses, condos and commercial buildings. Homeowner's and Condo Associations also qualify for Windstorm-Hurricane-Wind Mitigation credits. Call to see if a Miami Dade Windstorm-Hurricane-Wind Mitigation Inspection would be recommended.
Windstorm-Hurricane construction features protect your home from catastrophic Windstorm-Hurricane damage by strengthening your home ability to withstand the uplift, shear and lateral forces of the Wind associated with a Windstorm-Hurricane to the exterior shell of your home. The features enhance the vulnerable components of your home protective shell or envelope by fortifying your roof, exterior walls, windows and doors so they will not breach or fail in high Winds. If this protective shell or envelope is breached, not only can Wind-driven rain and debris enter your home causing considerable damage to its interior, but the high Winds can enter your home and exert pressure on your walls and roof leading to catastrophic damage to your property.
Miami Dade Windstorm-Hurricane-Wind Mitigation Inspection look for construction features that have been shown to reduce losses in Windstorm-Hurricane, such as a hip roof, concrete block construction, the presence of gable end bracing, shutters and opening protections, the presence of single or double roof straps, and the presence of a secondary water resistance barrier.
The State of Florida legislation has a requirement for Insurance companies to provide property Insurance discounts for homes that have Windstorm-Hurricane construction features that reduce the losses in a Winstorm-Hurricane. Each Insurance company is required to submit discounts for Wind damage reduction (Mitigation) construction features. The discounts are justified because stronger, more Windstorm-Hurricane-resistive houses have lower Windstorm-Hurricane losses, and lower Windstorm-Hurricane losses mean reduced costs to Insurance companies. The Insurance discounts provide some financial incentives for homeowners to strengthen their existing homes and for new construction to be built to the strongest options in the Florida Building Code. The Iinsurance rate discounts in Florida began to take place in 2003. They apply to both existing construction (houses built prior to 2002) and new construction built to the new statewide Florida Building Code (FBC). To qualify for these discounts, most Insurance companies require a Windstorm-Hurricane-Wind Mitigation certification of the key construction features: Wind Mitigation Verification Inspection
