Water Damage

Be Climate Smart

Rising greenhouse gases in the atmosphere are causing global warming, leading to greater instances of extreme weather. We’re seeing severe storms happening more often and lasting longer, resulting in a deluge of water-related damages.

Our job is to ensure you’re prepared with the tools and knowledge to protect the things that matter most - your family, your home and your business. This is simply one way that we’re making things better.


RSA’S ENHANCED WATERPROOF COVERAGE™

A flexible, affordable and easy-to-understand option for flood, sewer back-up and water service lines.

Nearly one in three Canadians don’t know what water damage coverage they have or need. This means that, with water damage on the rise, many homeowners have been finding out—too late—that flood is not covered by their home insurance policies.

We know that one of your priorities is to get affordable coverage. That’s why RSA offers flexibility—so you can choose the appropriate coverage, specific to your needs.

Limited Sewer Back-up Endorsement (#21029)
The Limited Sewer Back-up Endorsement protects your property from damage resulting from sewer back-up (including back-up from an interior drain), sump or septic system malfunction. With this coverage, loss or damage caused by flooding is not covered. In the event of an insured loss, loss prevention device coverage is included to help safeguard your dwelling against a similar loss in the future.

Waterproof Coverage™ (#21030)
Waterproof Coverage™ offers enhanced protection against damage caused by storm activity and flooding, eaves, downspouts, drains, accidental dam breaches, sudden or rapid snow or ice melt, and sewer back-up. In the event of an insured loss, loss prevention device coverage is included to help safeguard your dwelling against a similar loss in the future.

Water Service Line Endorsement (#21033)
The Water Service Line Endorsement is a new, optional coverage up to $15,000 in protection if you experience a leak, break, tear, rupture or collapse of a water and/or sewer line connected to your home, rental or seasonal dwelling. To qualify for this coverage, you must already have purchased Limited Sewer Back-up or Waterproof Coverage™.
