SCOPE THE REQUESTED FORM
Start with the insurer's question, not a generic checklist.
THE EVIDENCE TRAIL
OPENINGS AND ROOF FEATURES, RECORDED WHERE THEY ARE FOUND
The inspector will record elevations, opening types, and photograph relevant roof details. The point of a wind mitigation inspection: a clear record of what the property shows, what could not be seen, and what may need another document before the insurance conversation continues.
THE OZMAX PROOF ROUTE
WHAT A WIND MITIGATION INSPECTION RECORDS
The requested form sets the scope. The report then follows the evidence, not a guess about the outcome.
01
SCOPE THE REQUEST
We confirm the requested form, property access plan, and whether the visit is for wind mitigation alone or part of a larger file.
02
READ THE ROOFLINE
We document visible roof geometry, roof-to-wall connection details, and relevant openings from safe, accessible locations.
03
RECORD PROTECTION
We photograph shutters, impact-rated windows, doors, hardware, and other visible wind-resistance features tied to the request.
04
MARK THE LIMITS
We identify inaccessible areas, missing records, or items needing follow-up, then state the next documentation step plainly.
DOCUMENTATION STANDARDS
A WIND MITIGATION FILE SHOULD MAKE THE EVIDENCE EASY TO FOLLOW
OzMax keeps the report tied to the property and the insurance question in front of you.
PHOTOGRAPH RELEVANT FEATURES
Pair location-specific images with openings, roof details, and protection features.
NAME WHAT WAS INACCESSIBLE
A limitation belongs in the report instead of being treated as a finding.
GENERATE THE REPORT
Confirm the data and back up with photographic evidence.
BEFORE THE VISIT
WIND MITIGATION QUESTIONS, ANSWERED PLAINLY
Know what the inspection covers, what to prepare, and what the report can and cannot decide.
What does a wind mitigation inspection document?
It records visible features that may matter in a Florida wind-mitigation review, including roof geometry, openings, protection details, and relevant records or limitations. It does not promise a premium change.
What should I prepare?
Share the insurer's request or form, roof records, and access to attic areas when applicable, windows, doors, shutters, and other requested locations.
Can OzMax inspect an occupied home?
Yes, when the requested areas are accessible and someone can provide entry during the appointment.
What if part of the property cannot be seen?
The report identifies the limitation clearly and notes what additional access or record may be needed.
Will the report guarantee a discount or policy approval?
No. OzMax documents observed conditions; the insurance carrier decides coverage, eligibility, and rating.
