Please consult with your insurance broker about important additional coverage options that could be available to you:

Claims Free Protection Endorsement: Should you qualify, this popular endorsement can protect the loss of your claims free discount following your first loss.

Sewer Back-up Coverage: This important coverage is specifically designed to protect you from loss to your home or contents from the effects of water that backs up into your home from a sewer line. This could also by the result of a sump pump failure.

Overland Water Endorsement: With overland flooding events on the rise such as accumulation of water from storm events or the overflowing of a body of water, you can look to add protection from this peril that has typically not been covered by insurance companies in Canada until recently.

Home Systems and Service Line Coverage Endorsements: Portage Mutual provides specialized coverage for your underground service lines that bring water, power, data, and communications into your home. This includes coverage for temporary expenses should the home become uninhabitable. You can also choose to add our combined Homesystems-Service Line Coverage which will pick up mechanical and electrical breakdown coverage on particular appliances and systems. You can also add a Seasonal Homeowners Package or choose from various seasonal residence extensions.
