The professionals at SERVPRO have relied on 3D technology to help demonstrate damages done to properties for several years now.

SERVPRO of East Dayton/Beavercreek is one of Ohio's most reputable water fire and mold restoration companies. Our professionals work on hundreds of residential and commercial property damage claims a year and are not foreign to the claims process. To streamline the claims process for our customers and adjusters, our team has adopted a state-of-the-art 3D documentation technology called Matterport. Our highly trained technicians use Matterport to document every property damage claim we start on.

The following blog post will explain what Matterport technology is and why a customer should ensure that their property is scanned by 3D technology before and after the restoration process. Make sure you read all the way through to see why Matterport is best suited for property restoration claims.

What is Matterport?

In a nutshell, Matterport is an advanced 3D technology used to scan and digitize indoor spaces. Matterport captures photos, textural information, colors, and room layouts in 3D to be displayed virtually on a computer or mobile device.

A Matterport 3D scan will enhance productivity and collaboration by enabling remote participants to join from anywhere in the world without sacrificing quality or interactivity. The Matterport system can be used for various applications, including visualization, interior design, build modeling & construction planning, property inspection & insurance claims processing.

How can Matterport be used in property restoration claims?

Matterport can assist in restoration claims by producing a virtual tour of the property both before and after repairs have been made. This process is beneficial because you will see all the damaged areas clearly from anywhere in a room or throughout an entire building.

Before 3D technology, restoration companies would have to take multiple pictures from different angles and manually place them into one cohesive file to get an accurate image of the damaged property. This process was time-consuming, laborious, and dangerous if there were hazardous materials in the area.

Property restoration claims were more likely to be denied or disputed by the insurance company before 3D technology. The most common reason for this is that they cannot deliver enough proof of damages to substantiate their claim.

Using Matterport scanning to document damages has greatly simplified the approval process because Matterport maps all of its photos to a 3D model. All you have to do is place the 3D scanner in the room to capture the damages. 

The 3D model will provide an interactive experience for the insurance adjuster to navigate throughout the building by rotating, panning, or zooming in on specific areas.
