No one wants to be caught in a hailstorm — pelts from these small balls of ice and compact snow can be quite painful.
But potential property damage is another concern, and the impact can be quite costly.
$330 billion in property damage worldwide was due to extreme weather in 2017, and hail contributes to $1 billion in property damage each year.

It’s difficult to assess hail storm damage on roofs and other parts of your property, but artificial intelligence can monitor properties in real time. This helps insurance and mortgage companies, along with property owners, take action before a storm develops and afterward.
