What is a Wind Mitigation Inspection?

South Carolina law requires insurers to offer discounts on homeowners insurance premiums for certain measures that strengthen the home and mitigate against wind damage.

The maximum credit available is 48% for all measures combined. The average consumer saves 14% on their premiums.

Our certified inspector will evaluate your home at a separate visit and issue a report you can use to secure any potential credit your homeowners insurer offers

When Should I Have a Wind Mitigation Inspection?

This inspection can only be done once you own the home. Call us and we will schedule a time to do the inspection. The report will be available within four weeks (we are required to request and research the permitting of the home as well as other factors outside the actual inspection).

How Much Do Wind Mitigation Inspections Cost?

A Home-Probe wind mitigation inspection and report is available for $150. If we did the original home inspection, the fee is reduced to $100 because we gathered some of the data at that time. 

How Much Might You Save on Insurance?

Up to 48% of your premium, and an average of 14%, according to the state of South Carolina. Individual factors will apply. Find more about your insurance company's requirements at the South Carolina Department of Insurance.

Inspection ROI: As is typical of a home inspection fee, the wind mitigation inspection fee is small compared to the potential you'll save.
