PROTECT YOUR HOME FROM SEWER BACK UP

Your home is a very big investment, and we want to help you protect it! We can help with ensuring you have the right insurance coverage while giving you tips on ways you can protect it yourself. Here are some tips to protect your home from sewer back up and water damage.

First, if the group slopes toward your house, contract a landscaper to use back fill to create a slope away from your house. Extend the downspouts a minimum of 6 ft away from the foundation of your home. Clean the leaves and debris out of your gutters seasonally. Hire a plumber to install backwater valves and ensure they are properly sealed. And have a sump-pump with a battery backup system in your basement to pump excess groundwater out and away from your home.

Following these precautions could potentially be able to save you money on your insurance, ask us how! Contact us at 2894530779.

HOME INSURANCE MYTHS

Owning a home comes with a lot of responsibility. Protecting it with the right insurance is a definitely a priority. With all of the information out there about home insurance, there are a lot of myths as well. These are the most common ones:

1) "You may not need home insurance."

It is not legally required but your mortgage provider may require it. You should also make sure you're covered in case of liability (potentially millions!), accidental damage to neighbors property (such as in a fire) as well as to protect your own property & contents.

2) "Renovations do not impact coverage."

Renovations change the value of your property, and there for your insurance coverage might change as well. If you're considering renos speak to your broker.

3) "What's inside doesn't really count."

The effectiveness of your contents coverage depends on what you have in your home.

4) "Protection is about things, not people."

It is important to consider the people you live with when you structure your coverage; personal liability applies to them.

5) "When you go away, your coverage stays home."

For short trips, your home insurance typically remain static, but for longer trips you policy might require someone checking in on the house frequently.

Talk to an insurance broker to make sure you have the policy you need, and ensure you update it regularly. Contact us at 2894530779.
