๐ First-time home buyer in Brampton or the GTA? Read this before you finalise your insurance.
Most people assume โfull coverageโ means everything is covered. It doesnโt.
Two things most standard policies in Ontario donโt cover:
๐ด Service Lines โ the pipes between the street and your house. If they crack or burst, the repair is entirely on you. Can cost $5,000 to $20,000.
๐ด Sewer Backup โ one heavy rainstorm can flood your basement. Most standard policies exclude this unless you specifically add it.
