Hurricane Mitigation Service in Port St. Lucie
Hurricane mitigation can save thousands in home insurance while protecting your loved ones and your property in the Port St. Lucie area.
Mitigation is the process of reducing the threat or risk of something unpleasant. Hurricane mitigation is extremely important in Florida where hurricane season runs five months every year from June 1st to November 30th. Florida homeowners are at substantial risk for almost half the year.
Hurricane mitigation is needed to improve the integrity of your home. Most new homes are built to the standard known as Miami-Dade which was implemented due to the aftermath of Hurricane Andrew. Port St. Lucie has also seen hurricanes over the last 15 years that have caused substantial damages. Florida law requires that insurance companies offer hurricane mitigation credits to homeowners who meet the mitigation standards.
The hurricane retrofitting process when complete is naked to the eye but not to your pocketbook. Most homeowners save a thousand dollars while some save several thousand.
The Florida Department of Finance states that 15% – 70% of your insurance premium could be attributed to wind-damage risk.
The primary damage from hurricanes is water and wind intrusion. Water is blown by hind winds and pushed through openings and once inside causes mildew. Wind intrudes much like water by intruding through poorly sealed openings. The pressure built by the intruding wind can blow the roof off your home.
