Wind Mitigation Inspections in
Spring Hill, FL
If you’re a homeowner in Spring Hill, getting a wind mitigation inspection can significantly reduce your insurance premiums. In Florida, insurance carriers are required to offer discounts for homes that have wind-resistive features — and a certified wind mitigation inspection is how you document them. At Pointwise Inspection Services, we specialize in these inspections and know exactly what insurers are looking for.
What is a Wind Mitigation Inspection?
A wind mitigation inspection evaluates how well your home is built to withstand strong winds, hurricanes, and tropical storms. The inspection focuses on the roof’s construction, anchoring, and protective features. Our licensed inspector checks for:
-
Roof shape (hip vs. gable)
-
Roof deck attachment (nail size and spacing)
-
Roof-to-wall connections (clips, straps, or toenails)
Why Spring Hill Homes Benefit from Wind Mitigation
Spring Hill’s location along Florida’s Gulf Coast means homeowners face significant wind risk during hurricane season. Many homes here, especially those built before modern building codes were adopted, may be eligible for wind mitigation credits — but only if they’re properly inspected and documented.
Even if your home was built in the last 20 years, you might qualify for discounts if it includes features like a hip roof or impact-rated windows. The savings can be substantial and last for five years before a reinspection is required.
