Water damage – it’s the #1 threat to homes in Ontario

May 06 2012 // Home Insurance

Last year over 30,000 homes across Canada were affected by water damage, and the risk of it happening to you is on the rise – for a number of reasons:

• Changing weather patterns are causing more severe weather and as a result, more unwanted water is entering our homes.
• A growing population and aging infrastructure is sometimes too much for the sewer systems to handle, and water or sewer back ups are the result.
• The more water based appliances you use in your home like washers, dishwashers, humidifiers, etc., the greater the chance that leaks will occur.

Protect your home and your property before it happens to you – water can destroy irreplaceable items, cause structural damage to your home, and produce mold and mildew that can create potential health risks.

Below is a brochure that lists things you can do inside and outside your home to protect it from water damage. Prevention is key to keeping your home safe and dry.
