TDI Windstorm/Construction Phase Inspections

Projects in the TDI Windstorm Catastrophe Zone must be constructed in compliance with minimum standards and certified with TDI to qualify for insurance coverage, which applies to all Texas coastal counties and a portion of Harris County. We provide design, inspection, and certification services throughout the entire Windstorm area and are committed to making the process as simple and straightforward as possible.

In addition, we offer a wide range of inspections throughout every phase of the construction process, inside and outside Windstorm. Whether you are a homeowner, contractor, or municipality needing third-party verification by an engineer or code-certified inspector, we have you covered. Call today to find out if your project requires certification, inquire about pricing, or schedule your phase inspection.

Disaster Recovery/Flood Mitigation

Description: JDSI provides comprehensive flood mitigation and disaster relief design services, specializing in the elevation of existing structures to reduce flood risk. Our experience includes lifting and retrofitting homes onto new or modified foundations—such as timber piles, CMU walls, piers, piles, and continuous footings—while accommodating a wide range of existing construction types. All designs are completed in compliance with FEMA guidelines and local regulations. With over 125 completed elevation projects and extensive experience supporting flood mitigation efforts in both coastal and inland regions, we bring proven expertise in helping communities rebuild stronger and safer.

Engineering Inspections and Letters/Reports

There are many circumstances that require a qualified inspector and in some cases an engineer to assess a structure or sign off on a construction stage. If a municipality requires you to have your form work inspected and provide a letter sealed by an engineer prior to pouring, to cut cables after tensioning, or to approve a framing detail, we have you covered. If you have a structure that sustained damage, we will perform a detailed inspection and provide a full report with observations and any recommendations to provide to whatever entity may require them. Call today for pricing and scheduling!

Fortified Inspections

Fortified is a voluntary construction program of the IBHS. It is enhanced construction to provide additional protection of the home from Hurricane, Wind, and Hail events. The program requires the construction be inspected and documented by a Certified Fortified Evaluator. Fortified certification is required by a growing number of municipalities and may qualify a homeowner for a lower premium. Call today for more information!
