Tips to limit the damage

Did you know that water damage is one of the leading causes of home insurance claims? With that in mind, we've prepared these tips to help you minimize the damage!

  • For a broken pipe, shut off the main water valve and call a plumber, if necessary. Note that the costs of parts and labour are not covered under your policy.
  • You’ll need to keep the damaged parts for your claim.
  • You’ll want to protect your belongings and furniture. Lift them up off the floor or away from wet areas. This will also help you see the extent of the damage.
  • Call a cleaning specialist to handle any needed emergency cleanup. These expenses are reimbursed if the water damage is covered.

Psychological support after an accident or loss
After an accident, it’s normal to want to talk about it.

We offer free psychological support to all our insureds after an accident or loss. These overwhelming experiences can be profoundly traumatic and affect our mental health. Don't hesitate to ask for help if you need it.

More questions about claims? We’ve got more answers.

That depends on the situation. Here are two possibilities:

  • If the reimbursement is paid to you, the deductible will be taken from this payment.
  • If not, you have to pay the deductible to the contractor hired for repairs.

If you unintentionally cause material or physical damage to another person, you have a legal obligation to remedy the damage. This often represents substantial compensation amounts, which civil liability insurance protects you from having to assume.

This protection would also cover you if you had to defend yourself in court after being served a formal notice, alleging your civil liability. We would bear the expenses of your defence, including your lawyer’s fees and court costs.

Yes, if you wish to be paid based on the replacement value and if this coverage is included in your contract. However, you may choose to replace only certain items. The settlement for property that is not replaced is calculated by taking the replacement cost less depreciation, based on the service life of the item.

Experience has shown us that in the years following a loss, the likelihood of incurring another loss is greater. Which means the more home insurance claims you have on file, the more likely you are to make another claim, and the more likely your premium will increase.

Call us promptly and take photos of the damage!
