Frequently Asked Questions

PROPERTY

Your home is insured to the amount of coverage needed to rebuild your home from scratch in the event of a total loss. This factors in things like labor costs, debris removal and material costs. It is often higher because it is serving a different purpose than a tax assessment or a real estate evaluation.

  • If your property has just been damaged or broken into, the most important thing to remember is to stay calm. You should then check for injuries and contact the police immediately if someone is injured or if you are in danger.
  • Once everyone is safe, you should secure the property by double checking that all windows, doors, and gates are intact. If your property has been severely damaged, contact an emergency claims service provider immediately.

Our insurance partners do offer discounts for higher deductibles, contact one of our brokers and we can price out different deductible options for you.

Yes it is, however freezing of pipes is not covered if you have been away from your home for more than four consecutive days. However, you will still be insured if you arrange for someone to enter your dwelling daily to ensure the heating is being maintained or if you shut off the water supply and drain all of the pipes and appliances.
