The first and only predictor of non-weather water claims.

Probability of a Water Claim

Non-weather water damage accounts for approximately 20% of all property insurance losses – both in homeowner’s and commercial lines.

From appliance, heating, and air conditioning system failures to fixture leaks and restroom overflow, non-weather water damage is clearly a large problem. Yet it continues to persist. Why? Unlike losses due to Mother Nature, non-weather water damage has a diversity of causes—and the data on these causes, while predictive, are difficult to collect.

Predicting non-weather water claims has been difficult. Until now.

WaterRisk looks at the disparate causes of non-weather water damage and their complex interactions to predict the probability of a claim and losses —for any address nationwide. Discover how WaterRisk can dramatically improve your underwriting results today.

WaterRisk is the first and only predictor of non-weather water claims.

Built from a broad, diverse and proprietary national database, WaterRisk looks at the disparate causes of non-weather water damage and their complex interactions to predict the probability of a claim and losses due to non-weather water—for any address nationwide.

WaterRisk generates a score based on risk—for any U.S. address. This Lakewood, OH-area address (Figure 2) has a WaterRisk score of 165, which is 65% above the national average score of 100. Listed with the score are factors that contribute to the non-weather water damage risks at the address, to help convey some of the primary reasons why the risk is higher.2

WaterRisk is highly predictive of the frequency and losses from non-weather water damage claims, and has been validated by Location, Inc.’s exclusive national insurance industry database (Figure 3): as the WaterRisk score increases, so too does the frequency of claims. As a result, WaterRisk fills an unquantified gap that accounts for about 20% of all homeowner’s losses.
