FLOOD DAMAGE

DO I NEED WATER PROTECTION COVERAGE?

Well, this is up to you. If your house is atop a “Mountain” in Manitoba, this may not affect to you. But a fair amount of land locations in MB are flood plains and are at a higher risk. Manitoba is FLAT. We are a Prairie Province. Though, not as flat as Saskatchewan where you can watch your dog run away for days..

Manitoba Flood Facts –Taken from the Province of Manitoba Site

“Manitobans have been weathering major floods since the early 1800s. In the past 60 years, the floods in 1950, 1997, 2009 and 2011 have caused substantial damage, especially along the Red River and Assiniboine River basins. At the same time, Manitoba’s flood fighting efforts have improved greatly and have significantly reduced the number of evacuations and the amount of damage spring flooding can cause.”

We suggest you take the peace of mind route if you think there is even a slight a CHANCE you may have water damage. Get yourself covered.
