Wind Mitigation Inspections in
Citrus Springs, FL
Homeowners in Citrus Springs can save significantly on insurance premiums with a proper wind mitigation inspection. Florida law requires insurance companies to offer discounts for homes with wind-resistive construction features—but you need documentation to qualify. At Pointwise Inspection Services, we specialize in providing fast, compliant wind mitigation reports accepted by all major
What Is a Wind Mitigation Inspection?
This inspection evaluates how well your home is built to withstand high winds, hurricanes, and tropical storms. Our licensed inspector checks key structural features including:
-
Roof shape (hip vs. gable)
-
Roof deck attachment (nail size, spacing)
-
Roof-to-wall connections (clips, straps, or toenails)
-
Secondary water resistance (underlayment barrier)
-
Opening protection (impact-resistant doors, windows, shutters)
We document everything using the OIR-B1-1802 form, the official Florida wind mitigation report required by insurers.
Why It Matters in Citrus Springs
Though Citrus Springs is inland, it’s still in a high-risk wind zone, and many homes—especially those built before recent code updates—may be eligible for insurance discounts. Features like a hip roof or impact glass can save you hundreds, but only if they’re properly documented.
Wind mitigation credits are valid for five years, so one inspection can bring long-term savings.
