Here are a few examples of incidents that overland water coverage is typically meant to protect against:&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Rapid snowmelt&nbsp;<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Heavy rainfall&nbsp;<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Flash flooding<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">River overflow<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ice jams<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Spring run-off<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If your property or personal belongings were to be damaged as a result of one of these incidents, overland water coverage is designed to help cover the associated repair or replacement costs. It may also cover personal belongings you have in a storage unit, however, this often depends on the terms outlined in your policy.\u00a0<\/span> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Remember, overland water coverage does notcome standard when you <a href=\"https:\/\/youset.ca\/en\/home-insurance\/\">buy insurance for your home<\/a>, condo, or rental unit. Unlike standard coverages for perils such as fire and theft, you will find that insurance companies in Canada classify overland water coverage as optional coverage. Therefore, you have to explicitly request to have it added to your policy if you want to be covered against incidents like those listed above.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n\t<section id=\"post-cta-block_4b282eafc9c3fa09c161e281e31d98e3\" class=\"post-block pt-8 pb-8 lg:pb-20\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"lg:flex justify-between items-center gap-x-6 rounded-lg bg-indigo-600 px-8 py-7 shadow-[0_2px_10px_0_theme(colors.surface.background.disabled)]\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"text-white lg:mb-0\">Get the best price on insurance year-after-year<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.app.youset.ca\/start?lng=en&#038;externalId=blog\" class=\"the-button the-button--white !text-text-primary\">Get a quote<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/section>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-overland-water-coverage-vs-flood-coverage\">Overland water coverage vs. flood coverage<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Overland water coverage and flood coverage are both meant to protect your <a href=\"https:\/\/youset.ca\/en\/blog\/is-water-damage-covered-by-my-home-insurance-policy\/\">home against water-related damage<\/a>, however, they are not necessarily the same thing.\u00a0<\/span> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ibc.ca\/stay-protected\/severe-weather-safety\/flood-and-water\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Insurance Bureau of Canada<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, overland flooding typically involves bodies of fresh water, such as rivers or dams, overflowing onto dry land, while flood damage caused by storm surges or tidal waves involves saltwater inundating coastal areas. Based on these definitions, the difference between overland water coverage vs. flood coverage essentially comes down to freshwater vs. saltwater.\u00a0<\/span> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As such, the decision to add one or both of these types of coverage usually depends on where your home or condo is located in Canada. For instance, if you live near the coast in Quebec, Western Canada, Atlantic Canada, or Northern Canada, you might want both since you\u2019re at risk for both types of flooding. On the other hand, if you live in Ontario or the Prairies, you may opt for just overland water coverage since you likely live hundreds, if not thousands, of kilometres from the nearest saltwater source. <\/span> \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-is-overland-water-coverage-necessary\">Is overland water coverage necessary?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you own a home or condo in Canada, you are <a href=\"https:\/\/youset.ca\/en\/blog\/is-home-insurance-mandatory-in-canada\/\">not legally required to have overland water coverage<\/a>. That doesn\u2019t mean overland water coverage isn\u2019t necessary or important, though. On the contrary, here are a few compelling reasons why having overland water coverage is highly recommended.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><b>Overland water damage can occur year-round: <\/b> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Overland water damage is not confined to a particular season. It can happen at any point during the winter, spring, summer, and fall.&nbsp;<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><b>Overland water damage can happen to anyone:<\/b> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> You don\u2019t need to live close to a body of water for your home or condo to be susceptible to overland water damage. A single intense rainstorm is all it takes for potential damage, which could result in thousands of dollars in repairs.<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><b>Overland water damage can be expensive to fix:<\/b> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> From compromising the structural integrity of your home to damaging your home\u2019s electrical systems and interior finishes, overland water damage can be extensive and costly to repair.&nbsp;<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When you consider all this, you can see why many insurance experts and homeowners say yes, you do need overland water coverage. <\/span>\n\n&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-next-steps\">Next steps<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now that you know overland water coverage does not come standard with home, condo, and tenant insurance policies in Canada, your first step should be to review your existing policy. If you can\u2019t find the answer in those documents, get in touch with your insurer and ask them about it. Before you add it, though, you might want to compare the price of similar coverage from other insurance companies using a platform, like <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.app.youset.ca\/start?lng=en&amp;externalId=blog\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">YouSet<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Of all the home insurance claims filed every year, 24% are related to water damage and freezing, making it one of the top threats to home and condo owners alike.\u00a0 Despite many\u00a0Canadians&#8217; knowledge of this threat,\u00a032% mistakenly assume their standard home insurance policy will protect them in the event of&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":11,"featured_media":5357,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[467,453,463],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-5354","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-condo-insurance","category-home-insurance","category-tenant-insurance"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v28.4 (Yoast SEO v28.5) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>What Is Overland Water Coverage?
