Your Policy

The insurance industry’s response to the extreme weather of the past several years requires that you immediately review the coverage for your home or property in order to better understand what is covered.

The trend

Due to the fact that over the last decade water has become the leading cause of home-insurance claims, insurers are constantly revising and adjusting the their policies. If they haven’t already reduced your coverage or raised deductibles as of yet, rest assured it will be a matter of time.

The Threat

If you’ve ever owned a home or property, you should be reasonably aware that water related damages are always a clear and present danger.

Potential threats

• Leaky pipes or appliances
• Blocked toilets
• Melting snow
• Frequent rain storms
• Flooding
• Foundation cracks
