Wind Mitigation Inspections & the 1802 Form at the Florida House of Horrors

During this 2-day class (9 AM to 3 PM each day), Instructor and Certified Master Inspector® Dennis Bonner will teach you how to perform Wind Mitigation Inspections. Learn about the 1802 Mitigation Inspection Form, which is required for Wind Mitigation Inspections. The lack of consistency, training, and improperly filled-out forms has led to a re-inspection market. This is usually initiated by an insurance underwriter to verify wind mitigation features so that proper credits may be applied to homeowners’ insurance policies and to help to ensure the safety of occupants. This class will focus on the retail market. Students will receive 2 hurricane credits and 10 general credits.
