Protect Your Home From Strong Winds

When you think of potential dangers to your home, do you think of wind?

While it may not be on your mind as a destructive weather force, strong winds can cause significant damage as part of a tornado, hurricane or just a lone weather pattern.

A wind mitigation inspection can help you fortify your home against strong winds. Aside from protecting your property, these improvements could make you eligible for a discount on your home insurance premiums.

What is a wind mitigation inspection?

If you live in a hurricane- or tornado-prone area, or simply want to make sure your home can withstand strong gales, a wind mitigation inspection can identify vulnerabilities on your property. You’ll also get recommendations on how to improve your home’s resilience and structural integrity.

Fortifying Your Home Against Severe Weather

When it comes to preventing or reducing damage from high winds, there are a variety of options. A mitigation inspection can help you decide what’s best for your property. These updates could include:

• Impact-resistant windows.

• Reinforced garage doors.

• Roof-to-wall anchors.

• Hurricane shutters.

• A wind-resistant roof.

  
  

Potential for Insurance Savings

Beyond the peace of mind that comes with knowing your home is protected against windstorms and other bad weather, prioritizing wind mitigation might also save you money on homeowners insurance. We can discuss your current insurance policy and any discounts you may be eligible for based on your home’s wind-resistant features.

If you have any questions about your insurance coverage, and if your home is protected from strong winds please get in touch for help.
