Customized Home Insurance Policies
Every home insurance policy should be customized to meet the specific needs of the home owners. Your home insurance policy is designed to protect your home from a wide range of damage, including:
- Weather-related damage from wind, hail, snow, ice, and lighting
- Water damage, including sewer backup, burst pipes, or flooding
- Falling debris, such as from a tree that has fallen on your roof
- Fire or smoke damage to your property
- Theft of your belongings
- And much more
While all of these options are available for your home insurance policy, it’s up to you to decide what sort of protection you need for your home and your belongings. Some types of coverages will not come standard on every policy, so it’s important to speak with one of the experienced Guelph home insurance brokers on our team to find out what’s required to ensure that you are properly protected.

Home Insurance FAQs
Is every home insurance policy the same?
No, every home insurance policy can be different. There may be similarities in coverage but different insurance companies have different sub limits for items including water damage, jewellery, bicycles, and collectibles. Different products offered by insurance companies can provide superior coverages, such as for a high-value home that may require a higher level of protection.
What water damage is covered by my home insurance?
Typically, water escaping from the plumbing system within the home should be covered. Examples would be a burst pipe, water escape from a washing machine, hot water heater, or other domestic appliances.
During the heating season there are certain procedures you must follow when you’re away from your home for more than 48 hours. These include shutting off the water or having someone check on your home daily. Failure to perform one of these procedures can result in a claim being denied.
Some optional additional coverages we suggest include:
• Sewer Backup Coverage: Covers sudden and accidental backing up or escape of water or sewage through a sewer, septic system, sump pump, or drain.
• Overland Water: Coverage if surface water enters your home through a point above the surface of the ground.
We suggest talking to one of our staff members to give you the most options regarding water coverage.
