Before you decide

Good questions.
Worth asking.

Is all water damage covered by a home policy?

No general label can answer that. Compare the exact causes, extensions, exclusions, deductibles and limits for your address.

Does a home policy automatically cover my business?

Disclose the work, visitors, equipment and stock. Ask about business-use conditions and whether separate business protection is needed.

Should I tell the insurer before renovating?

Yes. Explain the work and occupancy arrangements in advance and obtain confirmation of any required changes before relying on existing terms.

In Canada, ask about the rules and provider availability in your province or territory. Insurance Bureau of Canada · Home insurance ↗
