ZestyAI, the leading provider of climate and property risk analytics solutions, has unveiled its newest solution, designed to address the increasing frequency and severity of non-weather water and freeze claims.
This trend, driven by factors such as rising building material and labour costs, and the interconnected nature of modern homes, has made accurate risk assessment more challenging than ever.
The model, known as Z-Water, model goes beyond traditional risk assessment tools by incorporating detailed property-specific construction and architectural information, as well as local infrastructure and water distribution networks.
This comprehensive approach provides insurers with a holistic view of risk, enabling them to tailor premiums more accurately, collaborate with homeowners on risk mitigation, and streamline operations by prioritising inspections.
Z-WATER is trained on the largest catalogue of actual insurance loss data from multiple carriers across the country.
This extensive dataset ensures that Z-WATER delivers the most accurate and granular insights into interior water risk, setting a new standard for predictive modelling in the insurance industry.
ZestyAI is renowned for its advanced AI technology, which delivers precise property risk analytics.
The company’s portfolio includes a range of products designed to evaluate both catastrophe and non-catastrophe risks for properties in the United States. ZestyAI’s solutions help insurers set fair rates, reduce risks, and improve operational efficiency.
Additionally, the firm’s suite of products includes peril-specific models for wildfire, hail, wind, and severe convective storms, making it a comprehensive tool for property risk assessment.
Kumar Dhuvur, Co-Founder and Chief Product Officer of ZestyAI, remarked, “The landscape of non-weather water claims is shifting, with a concerning trend towards increased claim severity. The rising cost of building materials and labor has inflated claim payouts. Additionally, the interconnected nature of our homes, with open floor plans, finished basements, and high-value electronics, means water damage can have a significantly higher price tag.”
