While we enjoy our share of perfect days underneath calm, blue skies in the Sunshine State, we also must be prepared for the worst in the peak of hurricane season each year. After all, tropical storms pose a significant threat to buildings with their strong winds and heavy rainfall. At Evolve Property Inspections, we understand the hazards of living in hurricane-prone areas and can provide an inspection that will satisfy your insurance requirements. Let’s explore the importance of commercial wind mitigation inspections for Florida business owners and how they can protect your building.
A wind mitigation inspection will determine the stability of a building's structure in the event of strong winds. Certified inspectors will evaluate the building's potential to withstand high winds based on certain criteria, such as the age of the house and roof, the method of the roof's attachment, building codes at the time of construction, and the opening protection rating of the building.
Since hurricanes can unleash devastating damage to buildings in impacted areas, a wind mitigation inspection can help identify any vulnerabilities in your business structure. Whether your roof needs to be reinforced or your windows and doors need to be altered, the information you receive from this inspection can serve as a roadmap for improving your building's defenses.
Typically, your insurance company requires wind mitigation inspections to qualify for coverage or renew your policy. A thorough wind mitigation inspection and corresponding improvements can reduce the liability risks for businesses, potentially lowering not only property insurance premiums but also liability insurance premiums if the upgrades enhance overall safety.
