Wind Mitigation Inspection in Fort Lauderdale, FL
We document your home's wind-resistant features on Florida's official OIR-B1-1802 form so your insurer can apply the discounts you qualify for.
Wind Mitigation Inspection for Fort Lauderdale homes
Fort Lauderdale's homes range from older single-family neighborhoods to waterfront properties and condos. Waterfront and older homes deserve extra attention to moisture, corrosion and roof condition.
Florida law requires insurers to offer discounts for wind-resistant construction features, but they can only apply them if the features are documented on the official form. A wind mitigation inspection is how that documentation happens.
We complete the current revision of the OIR-B1-1802 form with supporting photos for every answer. Insurers reject reports on outdated form versions, so we keep up with revisions.
