Q: What does Hover do?
A: Hover offers the quickest and easiest way to gather all of the property and damage information needed to process an interior claim.

Q: How long will it take?
Q: How long will it take?
A: Scan time will depend on the size of the space(s) scanned. On average, scanning 4-7 spaces takes about 15 minutes for a new user. About half that time for a seasoned user!
As for the turnaround time, it's on average, 3 hours. Smaller spaces can be returned in less time.
Q: Do I need any special equipment?
Q: Do I need any special equipment?

Q: Can I scan multiple floors?
Q: Can I scan multiple floors?
A: Yes, but each floor should be submitted as a separate order. As such, you may need to send (or you may receive) multiple invitations to capture the same property, one for each level of the building, if needed.
Once returned, each project can be automatically imported into Xactimate or CoreLogic, and then merged.
Q: Will I get a fully connected floor plan?
Q: Will I get a fully connected floor plan?
A: If you successfully connected the scanned spaces by including hallways or landings, you will receive a fully connected floor play.
If there are missing areas between rooms/spaces or obstructions, we will implement our 'partial build solution' to build the largest contiguous buildable area of an order.
For example, if you want to gather damage photos and measurements for the bathroom and living room pictured below, you would also need to scan the hallway.
We make this very easy for you to perform through guided instructions within the app.
Q: What if I miss a section of the room?
Q: What if I miss a section of the room?
A: We provide in-line guidance that changes depending on the room that you're scanning. As the room that you're entering changes, our guidance changes with you.
If for some reason you miss a step, you will have the opportunity to add additional photos before submitting.

Q: What exactly will I receive if my job is partially built?
Q: What exactly will I receive if my job is partially built?
A: Not only will you still receive a Hover PDF deliverable for the largest contiguous buildable area of the order, but if you are an Insurance Adjuster, you can also export compatible measurement files to import into Xactimate or CoreLogic (Symbility).
Reminder: The second page of the PDF will always include a summary of all the rooms captured and denote whether or not they were successfully reconstructed. Tips will be included for how to best capture a room that was not built.
Q: Will I receive an email or in-app notification for partial build reconstructions?
Q: Will I receive an email or in-app notification for partial build reconstructions?
A: No. You are only informed of a partial build reconstruction when you access the Hover PDF deliverable.
Q: What if I want to rescan any of the undelivered rooms?
Q: What if I want to rescan any of the undelivered rooms?
A: You can do a new interior scan for the undelivered room(s). This will be processed as its own project.
Reminder: If you are an Insurance Adjuster, you can also export files from Hover to import the measurements into either Xactimate or CoreLogic (Symbility) to complete your claim(s).
Q: Does this effect billing at all?
Q: Does this effect billing at all?
A: No. You will be charged per the square footage of what is delivered (not per scan-attempt).
