🚨 Rising Waters, Rising Risks: Why Sewer Backup Coverage Matters More Than Ever in Canada 🇨🇦

As climate change fuels more extreme weather across the country, flooding and sewer backups are becoming an all-too-common threat to Canadian homes. From sudden downpours to aging infrastructure, new risks are emerging—many of which aren’t fully covered by standard home insurance policies.

💧 Sewer backup coverage is no longer optional—it’s essential.

Here’s why it matters:

âś… Intense rainfall can quickly overwhelm municipal drainage systems
✅ Basement flooding often leads to extensive—and expensive—damage
âś… Restoration, repairs, and cleanup can cost tens of thousands of dollars
âś… Most basic home insurance policies do not include this coverage by default

📍 Whether you’re in Vancouver, Toronto, Montreal, or anywhere in between, the threat is real—and growing. With more Canadians working from home and investing in renovations, protecting your space has never been more crucial.

💡 Pro tip: Speak with your insurance provider to confirm you have adequate sewer backup coverage—especially if you have a basement or live in a flood-prone area.

Let’s stay dry, protected, and prepared.
