What the Hail? For Home Insurers, Getting the Roof Right has Never Been more Important
Artificial intelligence and machine learning are helping insurers to convert images into indicators of likely loss.
New methodologies of roof scoring, based on sensors, cameras and data analytics, are enabling insurers to better compare roof risks across regions.
Satellites, radar and other improving technologies are allowing insurers to assess roofs under a variety of conditions and across time.
Higher resolution drone cameras and smarter sensors are bringing greater accuracy to loss exposures.
Roofs of commercial building tend to be larger, flatter and more exposed to collecting water than those of residential homes.
