Sewer Backup Insurance
This coverage is useful in some low-lying areas, especially if your area has combined storm and sanitary sewers. You may also want to install a backflow prevention device or valve, if it is permitted by local codes.
Before purchasing sewer backup insurance, you should consider:
- Your existing elevation relative to sea level
- Neighbourhood density relative to the size of your sewer line
- Frequency of severe weather in your neighbourhood and how often sewer backups have been reported.
For more information about your coverage options, talk to your insurance representative.
