In lieu of using a property inspector to conduct an inspection, Encompass will use the aerial technology as part of its process in providing homeowners insurance. The information collected by EagleView delivers an electronic report which provides detailed diagrams and measurements of a home’s square footage, roof type and more to ensure adequate coverage for Encompass consumers.
