Customized Protection
Water Coverage Add-On for Pickering or Ajax Home Insurance
In Canada, weather events that used to occur every 40 years are now happening every six. Every summer communities are experiencing more and more intense rainfalls.

More concerning is the fact that the majority of insurance companies don’t offer broad enough water coverage, especially for severe flooding. It’s too late to learn that you are not covered when you have two feet of water in your basement. Ask yourself, has my Pickering or Ajax home insurance company clearly explained my water coverage to me? If not, maybe it’s time to find a new provider. Call or click to get a free quote for your home insurance. Pickering and Ajax residents can rest easy knowing what their water coverage entails.

Unless you have made some sort of change to your policy, it is likely that you still have that same basic coverage. Outlining what you need in 200 words on a website would be impossible because what you require is so individual to you and your home insurance.
