Flood Insurance Overview

Flood Insurance for Canadian Businesses

Extreme weather events including those causing floods are on the rise and water damage claims have started to exceed fire damage claims which have historically not been the case.

Despite flood protection being excluded from most personal lines policies (until recently), flood insurance has always been available to most commercial and business clients as part of their commercial All Risk/Perils Property insurance.

Commercial Property Insurance Typically Includes Flood Insurance

Basic property insurance covers loss and damage caused by fire or lightning, including the cost of removing property as a way to protect it from further damage.

However,  “All Risk or All perils” insurance policies have become the norm and they can provide coverage for extended perils, such as overland flooding, windstorms, hail, extreme weather linked to climate change, earthquakes, acts of terrorism, explosion, riots, smoke, civil commotions, etc.
